| New Flexalloy 9750 Series compounds  Teknor Apex announces new Flexalloy 9750 Series compounds that have processing and physical properties comparable to those of the general-purpose Flexalloy 9100 Series. Teknor Apex has formulated them for applications where a low-gloss surface may be aesthetically desirable, as in certain consumer products and furniture trim. In addition, while glossy products tend to 'block' or stick to each other, the low-gloss Flexalloy compounds exhibit anti-blocking properties that ease handling of films such as bin liners, flexible 'accordion' hose like that on vacuum cleaners, and mating parts such as weather-stripping for windows and doors.New Flexalloy 9750 compounds are available in Shore A hardnesses ranging from 35 to 80. Flexalloy TPEs are based on proprietary formulation and compounding technology developed by Teknor Apex and have no counterparts among competing raw material producers. They are based on ultra high molecular weight PVC resin, which differs considerably from the PVC used for compounding the vast bulk of vinyl formulations. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
