AGC FluoroCompounds Booth S19054
Asahi Glass subsidiary AGC Chemicals Americas will show its Fluon family of melt processible compounds, which are based on FEP, ETFE, PFA, PVDF, MFA or ECTFE copolymer resins. Developed by the AGC FluoroCompounds division, the materials are said to be suitable for production of demanding parts for the automotive, industrial, aerospace, transit and appliance industries due to their combination of physical tough- ness and high resistance to heat and chemicals. The range includes eight different compound types, all suitable for injection moulding processing. ❙

Right: ANS will launch new carbon
nanotubes for ESD and EMI
overmoulded onto polypropylene and a variety of other polymers, making them suitable for medical applica- tions and toys. The company will also show four new additions to its 8000 Series TPEs. 8150 is a black 48 Shore A TPE with rubber-like properties and a matt surface finish targeted at automotive applications. 8078B is a black 82 Shore A TPE suitable for applications calling for good UV stability. 8088N is a black 88 Shore A TPE that passes the FMVSS302 automotive specification for flammability. 8088BL is a colourable 88 Shore A grade that is FDA compliant and UV stable and targets applications requiring high impact resistance and a reduced coefficient of friction. ❙

Lockheed Martin subsidiary Applied Nanostructured Solutions (ANS) will be launching two new nanomateri- als at the show for production of plastic parts with integral EMI shielding or ESD capabilities. The new products are based on the company’s
proprietary carbon nanotube production process and are designed for easy incorporation into plastic compounds. They are claimed to provide EMI shielding performance of up to 60dB at typical loadings of 5-7 wt%. Loadings of 0.2-0.5% are sufficient to meet most ESD requirements. The new materials are available as encapsulated
