Vectran® Liquid Crystal Polymer

Ballistic-resistant panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites offer key properties enabling Southern States to meet its customers’ critical needs.

Melting Point: Melting point is the temperature at which a crystalline polymer becomes a disordered liquid. 4. Important to note, semi-crystalline polymers feature crystalline regions dispersed within amorphous material. For amorphous polymers like PSU, the cooling rate in FFF is critical.

COLORANT CHROMATICS Colors and compounds  for high-temperature polymers ™ We are the world’s leading specialist in the enhancement of high-performance polymers. Laser marking additives are added to polymers, such as fluoropolymers, that do not readily absorb the wavelength of laser light. Foamed polymers provide enhanced electrical properties, reduced cable weight, and material cost savings.

Plastic materials offer opportunities and play an increasingly vital role: colors aid identification and automated laboratory processes while functional additives expand the usable property window of the polymer in areas such as surface chemistry or oxygen protection.

Cesa™ Fiber Tracer Concentrates are polymer solutions that include a taggant, unique to the customer/product line, which is incorporated into the fibers during the spin-dyeing process. Fiber producers can also add the tracer concentate to shredded waste polyester and polyamide, and convert them together into polymer pellets. APPLICATIONS Cesa Fiber Tracer Concentrates are particularly recommended for apparel, sportswear, and home textiles to support brand ownership and labels such as those for recycled content, “made in”, and bio-polymer content.
