OnForce™ Long Glass Fiber Nylon Composite provided a corrosion-resistant, long glass fiber-reinforced material for cleaner connector Pipe & Fitting Pressure and Non-Pressure Pipes

Targeted at products for the consumer market, Artisan™ nylon (PA6) is the first material in a series of high-gloss, scratch-resistant pre-colored thermoplastics formulated to replace paint. Parts molded from Artisan pre-colored thermoplastics offer excellent scratch resistance compared to painted plastic, which minimizes the appearance of scratches. Replacing painted metal parts with Artisan materials also improves corrosion resistance.

Home // Understanding the Chemical Resistance of TPEs To understand the chemical resistance performance of the TPE, it is important to consider the chemical resistance of different materials that can be used in formulating it.  Chemical Resistance by Material Type

Are current metal parts plagued with performance problems, such as corrosion? Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components. They are also up to 100 times more fatigue-resistant than polymers reinforced with short fibers, offering a high degree of mechanical resistance to high loads.

Edgetek™ PKE and LubriOne™ PKE series combine excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance to meet the challenges of harsh applications, such as those found in chemical, fuel contact, or high-moisture environments. These reinforced grades are targeted at applications in the industrial, electronics and transportation markets like pipes and tubing, electrical battery components, and under-the-hood fuel or chemical contact components.
