NPE 2015 Polymers and compounds
AGC FluoroCompounds is showing melt processable fluoropolymer compounds
DSM is highlighting the use of its engineering plastics in a range of focused applications. For example, its Akulon PA 6 and Arnitel thermoplastic copolyester bring benefits to flexible packaging, and the company has recently developed Akulon XS grades which offer an extended processing window for blown film applica- tions. For the electronics sector, DSM is showing its Stanyl
Elastocon’s CLR Series clear TPE
materials are suitable for medical
applications
AGC Chemicals Americas is showing its Fluon family of melt-processable fluoropolymer compounds, which are based on FEP, ETFE, PFA, PVDF, MFA or ECTFE copolymer resins. Developed by the AGC FluoroCom- pounds division, the materials are suitable for the production of demanding parts for the automotive, industrial, aerospace, transit and appliance industries due to their combination of physical toughness and high resistance to heat and chemicals. The range includes eight different compound types. The company is also showing filled PTFE compounds and PTFE micropowders. ❙

Aurora Plastics, a leading producer of rigid and foam PVC compounds, is highlighting its weather- resistant PVC/acrylic alloy capstock for demanding applications such as outdoor trim, windows, decks, siding, fencing, and railing. The new product is designed to withstand the effects of weathering over the long term, even in dark colours. The company is also promoting its new low-density
cellular PVC foam which is available in the 0.35 - 0.80 density range. The end result is a very lightweight, yet durable material that is ideal for an array of interior decorative applications. ❙
