Performance Reheating rPET, so that it can be molded into a bottle preform shape, also decreases the plastic’s intrinsic viscosity (IV) due to a decrease in polymer chain length. Colored PET—As manufacturers look to transfer packaging away from less recycled polymers to PET, there is an expectation that color will remain an important brand differentiator on the shelves. One common challenge with using rPET bottles is the breakdown of the polymer chains that occurs as the material is heated and remelted during processing.

Compared to rubber and silicone alternatives they simplify manufacturing with single-step fabrication, reducing the energy used in production and can be overmolded directly onto non-polar polymer substrates such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Electrical resistivity range from 10–1010 Ω • Hardness range from 40–85 Shore A • Protects critical electrical components from EMI/RFI • Reduces static build-up • Simplifies manufacturing • Overmolds directly onto polymer substrates • Meets regulatory compliance requirements of ATEX and ESD • Food contact compliance grades are available MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Electrical applications that require a flexible material, and protection from EMI/RFI and static build-up.

Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel bars offer advantages over traditional steel or epoxy- coated steel bars: • Electromagnetic transparency: ideal for high- speed toll roads to prevent interference • Corrosion resistance: the GFRP material will not rust or corrode in salt or alkaline environments • Light weight: less than one-third the weight of steel • Does not bond to concrete: eliminates the need for sleeves or grease to allow for expansion and contraction Glasforms™ composite dowel bars are tested and approved to meet the following requirements: • ASTM 1356 Glass Transition Temperature • ASTM D570 Water Absorption • ASTM 2344 Short Beam Strength • ASTM 7617 Transverse Shear Strength Glasforms™ Composite Dowel Bars for Concrete Pavement Construction APPLICATION OVERVIEW WHY GLASFORMS PULTRUDED COMPOSITES? Glasforms is one of the world’s most respected brands in pultruded fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) and advanced composites.

History PET is the most common thermoplastic polymer in the polyester family. It is the same polymer resin utilized in the plastic bottle industry.

Since the FlexCart Micro has a smaller footprint for use in operations where space is limited, the metering system uses the smaller 10L (LN) polymer delivery pack. The FlexCart Micro unit, due to its smaller footprint and reduced throughput range, is designed to work with the LN molded polymer containers—specifically the 10-liter pack.
