In effect, the surface energy is changed to allow a fluid to ‘roll off’ the polymer material.

FIBER-LINE® recently installed new state of the art pultrusion equipment to complement its traditional processes for making FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer)

Our Cesa™ Fiber Additives portfolio includes flame retardant solutions as additive concentrates which are incorporated into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process.

Using conventional CFA ingredients, a special conditioning process was used to prepare the raw material for optimal foaming performance upon polymer interaction.

Aquamix additives are fully compatible and easily compounded with base polymers.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Highly flame retardant: Flame retardancy helps prevent fire and to limit damage if one starts • Non-halogenated: During a fire, there are no ingredients to cause acidic gas emissions from the polymer, which can damage equipment and buildings • Low smoke: In the event of fire, people are more able to find the escape exit and fire fighters can quickly find the source of the fire • Low toxicity: People are not likely to be overcome by toxic fumes • Low dripping: No flaming droplets are likely to propagate a fire or injure evacuees • Manufacturing efficiency: Easy processing with a smooth surface finish MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS The ECCOH range of specialty polymers help manufacturers meet CPR requirements for power, control and communication cables (including optical fiber cables) used in buildings.

It is known that transparent polymer blend can be made of polymers with different refractive index provided the dimension of the dispersed phase is below the visual wavelength.

This makes LSR a thermoset polymer material. This defines TPE as a thermoplastic polymer material. 6.2% 3.9% SILICONESTPEs Let’s Compare INTRODUCTION WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? http://store.elsevier.com/Handbook-of-Polymer-Applications-in-Medicine-and-Medical-Devices/isbn-9780323221696/ UV Resistance DID YOU KNOW?
