Additional specialty grades span a wide durometer range and are formulated without animal derivatives for use in a broad range of applications.

FIBER-LINE™ PERFORMANCE ENHANCING COATINGS PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE FIBER-LINE™ COATING SELECTION GUIDE COATING Bondcoat™ Adhesion Enhancing Colorcoat™ Fiber Color Packcoat™ Performance Enhancing Protexcoat™ UV Resistant Swellcoat™ Blocker Water Blocking Swellcoat™ Water Absorbing Wearcoat™ High Abrasion Blockcoat™ Anti-Wicking Repelcoat™ Water Repellant Flamecoat™ Flame Resistant FEATURES • Created for applications where an untreated fiber does not have the ability to provide the appropriate amount of bonding characteristics to another material • Provides adhesion to another fiber or substrate without impacting other performance properties • Improves adhesion of the fiber to the resin matrix it is introduced into • Enables industry standard “burst” tests or stringent delamination analysis • Designed to achieve vibrant colors for safety, identification, and aesthetics • Specialized formulas and binders adhere the pigment to the exterior of the individual filaments, while impregnating deep into the fiber bundle • Available by Pantone or RAL number • Compatible with a variety of composite resins including epoxy, polyurethane, and polyethylene • Stronger than solution-dyed fibers • Designed to add lubricity and temperature resistance at the filament level for braided compression packing • Coating at the fiber level versus the finished braid achieves higher % level coating • Fiber level coating extends the life of the braid and reduces required maintenance • Various formulations available • PTFE, silicone, graphite, and mineral oil • Created for high performance fibers that lack inherent ultraviolet (UV) resistance • Coating impregnates the individual fibers with a specialized resin for improved UV protection • Coating enhancements include UV inhibitors, absorbers and stabilizers • Improves the processing of the product via reduced filament snagging and friction • Low level water- blocking finish for any technical fiber or textile substrate • Provides water- blocked strength reinforcements for dry cable designs • Can absorb 5x to 15x its weight in water • Dust-free coating imparts a very soft fiber hand, advantageous to cable, rope, and other textile processes • Patented technology incorporates super absorbent polymer (SAP) suspended in a proprietary resin matrix • Used in the production of ‘dry-dry’ telecommunications, electromechanical, seismic, umbilical and power cables • Can absorb up to 100x its weight in water • Creates a stable gel when exposed to water • Functionally replaces flooding compounds, filling gels, spun SAF yarns, and water blocking tapes • Enables faster, more economical and robust cable manufacturing • Increases durability and abrasion resistance by encapsulating filaments in the fiber bundle • Extends the life of the product by reducing the effects of friction and yarn on yarn abrasion • Protects the fiber from degradation and filamentation • Ideal for high abrasion and high friction applications in a range of fiber constructions and environments • Wicking refers to the tendency of a yarn or other fiber to draw moisture into filaments via capillary action • Coatings designed to prevent moisture from wicking within and between fibers and strands • Protects Wire or Optical Fiber from damaging effects of moisture, which can cause a drop in signal and attenuation • Hydrophobic additives used to promote and enhance water repellancy in industrial applications • Creates a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from further migration • Applied at various % levels to optimize for water-proof ratings • Designed to inhibit or slow the spread of fire/flame • Coupled to fibers with inherent flame and thermal resistance to boost performance • Added to fibers with weak flame resistance to improve burn rating SUITABLE FIBERS • Kevlar® Para-Aramid • Nomex® Meta-Aramid • Vectran® LCP • Zylon® PBO • Technora® Fiber • Carbon Fiber • Kevlar® Para-Aramid • Nomex®

In addition, it is equally important to look beyond the datasheets to more fully understand the application demands, working environments, and product life expectations to use and optimize the material for your specific application.

In addition, PK can improve the sustainability of a product through a lower carbon footprint because the production of the resin emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO₂) than nylon.

Also, Ohio Revised Code section 1701.70(B) sets forth additional cases in which directors may adopt an amendment to the articles.

For spiral flow information about a specific grade or additional details about the spiral flow test procedure, please refer to the TPE Tip #7. In addition, the sprue will need to be trimmed thus appearance quality of the part is usually poor.

We operate in two reportable segments: (1) Color, Additives and Inks; (2) Specialty Engineered Materials Some employees receive additional training based on their role, such as Lean Six Sigma, Customer Centric Selling, and Core Leadership.

In addition, note patterns of grip adjustment or re- gripping, awkward postures, signs of fatigue and interfaces that cause frustration. While heavier weight can increase fatigue, if it is strategically and correctly placed, additional weight can improve dexterity.
