Advanced In-Line Laminates Replace Adhesives with Improved Process from RTP Company
WINONA, MN, USA - April 17, 2007 - The Sheet and Film Division of RTP Company has improved in-line laminate systems that allow for both flexible film and sheet to achieve superior mechanical bonds to fabric during manufacturing. These improvements eliminate secondary processes, allowing for a single in-line laminate technique that negates the need for adhesives. Our innovative technique is new to...

Featuring 80% glass-loading by weight, Long Fiber Concentrate provides optimal dispersion, allowing materials with varying melt flow rates to be blended together. Adjusting LF glassloadings directly at machine enables processors to customize blends to meet specific properties, such as stiffness, impact, and strength. Product offers replacement for metal, particularly in die-cast parts where...
Read More »Long Fiber Compounds suit metal replacement applications.
Helping to reduce weight, increase part consolidation, and improve chemical resistance, 2200 Series PEEK(TM) (Polyetheretherketone) Long Fiber Compounds are suited for metal replacement applications in compressor and pump markets. Longer fibers in 30% glass-filled compounds mechanically interlock, reducing warpage and shrinkage while absorbing stress. Products also exhibit dimensional stability...

Hollow Scotchlite(TM) glass microspheres are available in most of company's engineering resins. They adapt to processing methods such as injection molding and extrusion. Microspheres reduce part weight and modify polymer characteristics, achieving lower viscosity, improved flow, and reduced shrinkage and warpage. Non-combustible, non-porous glass bubbles produce stable voids, resulting in low...
