A compounding extruder connected to the impregnation die functions as a melt pump feeding molten thermoplastic polymer into the process.  Instead of simply coating fiber tows with polymer – inside PlastiComp’s impregnation die individual filaments in the fiber tows are spread apart so each is encapsulated with thermoplastic polymer.  This fiber to polymer bond is key to obtaining optimum performance and having a true composite material.

ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions for Photovoltaic Cables Enabling a more sustainable and safer planet, Avient has developed ECCOH™ XL Cross-Linkable Solutions for photovoltaic cable applications (ECCOH XL 8148). Simple Sourcing - ECCOH XL 8148 polymers can be used for both cable jacketing and insulation, reducing the need for multiple materials. Catalyst Content - ECCOH XL 8148 solutions are REACH compliant and require 50% less catalyst compared with competitive solutions, while providing the same crosslinking efficacy.

TPEs made from styrenic block copolymers (SBC) such as Kraton® D or G Polymers have special properties that can enhance the success of a finished part. Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs): In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section.
