Talcs with fine particle sizes improve impact resistance.1
The lower the resistivity, the more conductive the material.
They also improve dimensional stability, the ability to resist losing shape under a load, abrasion resistance and surface hardness.

PFA is one of the most inert melt-processible fluoropolymers available and offers outstanding chemical resistance
Formulations feature high-temperature resistance and tensile strength for high-performance applications

Non-allergenic, non-toxic and skin-friendly, they absorb shock, resist vibration and provide slip resistance.

Those who make UV resistant apparel, outdoor tents and shades also need the colors in their fabrics and fibers to stay fresh over time to promote brand identification and preserve brand image.
Formulations can pass weathering standard ASTM G154 and AATCC 186, and fire resistance standard FMVSS302.

They also reduce the frictional resistance of end-product surfaces, enhancing both appearance and function.
