Moisture Resistance Testing of Polyketone Understanding Chemical Resistance Long-Term Chemical Resistance Testing

Moisture Resistance Testing of Polyketone Understanding Chemical Resistance Long-Term Chemical Resistance Testing

Good heat & flame resistance Good chemical resistance High cut resistance

Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip.  It also boasts excellent chemical resistance to common substances like cosmetics and cleaners, as well as foods such as olive oil and mustard. Reduce friction, noise, vibration and heat buildup with these wear-resistant formulations

OnCap™ Dry Silane Additives: Anti-oxidant agents, copper deactivators, and UV resistance agents that are flexible enough to be used with cross-linkable and standard thermoplastics on the same production line Syncure™ Cross-Linked Polyethylene Formulations: Two-step, silane-grafted, moisture cross-linkable polyethylene systems (XLPE) for improved heat, oil, creep and abrasion resistance Colorant Chromatics™ Cross-Linkable Formulations: Withstand high temperatures and offer superior cut-through resistance, abrasion resistance and mechanical toughness

Solutions range from non-halogen, flame retardant, and low smoke, to oil/chemical resistant and high-temperature materials.     Syncure™ cross-linkable polyethylene, a two-step, silane-grafted, moisture cross-linkable system (XLPE) for improved heat and oil resistance     Colorant Chromatics™ cross-linkable high-temperature fluoropolymer formulations for improved cut-through resistance, abrasion resistance and mechanical toughness
