Extruder information and processing guidelines for Syncure™ XLPE including temperature, flame at die tip, line speed, screw cooling and purge compound (English language version) Extruder information and processing guidelines for Syncure™ XLPE including temperature, flame at die tip, line speed, screw cooling and purge compound (Spanish language version)

The adhesion is categorized based on adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate, or cohesive failure (C)- if the failure is in TPE. Design Considerations The material requirements of bondable TPE’s are different from conventional TPE’s and it is the same for designing parts. Prevent the TPE from flashing over areas on the substrate. 4.

The automated pultrusion process fabricates continuous glass or carbon fiber-reinforced, constant cross-section profiles with consistent, uniform properties. Each cradle brace is a two-foot long, rectangular bar with a “U” shape machined into our engineering team developed and analyzed three options: a unidirectional, hybrid carbon and glass fiber profile; a unidirectional carbon fiber profile; and finally, a profile made with both a unidirectional carbon fiber and a transverse engineered fabric, which had the advantage of minimizing any potential cracks from propagating. The third profile was also 41% lighter than aluminum, with a 50% increase in flexural stiffness, and maintained torsional rigidity slightly better than that of aluminum.

This includes lower-carbon alternatives to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) without sacrificing performance, portfolio expansions including bio-renewable feedstock and post-industrial or post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, and new materials and services focused on meeting specific customer needs while helping to advance a circular economy. reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs: These TPE formulations offer an industry-first cradle-to-gate negative, neutral, or near-zero product carbon footprint (PCF) while delivering comparable performance to traditional TPEs. Once completed, the site will host a fully functional physical testing lab, a sophisticated analytical lab, a wet chemistry facility, and dedicated process capabilities, including multi-scale twin-screw extruders, reactive extrusion, and various injection molding machines.
