New Resins Products

Capstock Resin provides UV protection for ABS substrates.

Solarkote A acrylic capstock resin, in layers as thin as 6 mil, screens out UV radiation. Suited for coextruded applications, resin can also be used on watercraft, recreational vehicles, lawn/garden products, building/construction, automotive accessories, outdoor enclosures, tubs, spas, and pool accessories.

Acrylic Capstock adds weather resistance to polystyrene.

Solarkote-® H resin enhances appearance of high impact polystyrene sheet (HIPS) via co-extrusion. Cap layer of 6 to 12 mil provides protection from ultraviolet light, without sacrificing impact performance of composite sheet. Co-extruded layer is inherently colorless, but may be readily colored. It maintains high visible light transmission, permitting wet appearance. Applications include...

Acrylic Resin improves PVC substrate appearance.

Solarkote-® PB, when blended with PVC and coextruded over PVC as capstock, upgrades PVC properties for exterior building products. It blends to share weathering performance in medium-dark colors where chalking can be a concern. It exhibits color hold in whites, and can be blended in PVC high-shear blending equipment. Applications include PVC siding, window profiles, fencing, and decking.

Blow Molding Resin provides look and feel of glass.

When molded into bottles, Eastar copolyester AN001 injection stretch blow molding resin results in wall sections as thick as 10 mm with light transmission rates to 91%. It is suitable for cosmetic and personal care markets.

PFA Resin resists cracking in presence of fluoropolymers.

PFA-FLEX series ultra-high purity (UHP) PFA resin suits semiconductor processing applications that require environmental stress crack resistance. It provides chemical and temperature resistance as well as low levels of extractable ions. Flexible PFA-FLEX material is available in two grades: PFA-FLEX X 8502 UHP, with nominal 2 melt-flow index for tubing applications, and PFA-FLEX X 8515 UHP, with...

Encapsulating Resin can cure with several agents.

Electronic grade, casting, potting, and encapsulating epoxy resin system No. 20-365140 adheres to metals, ceramics, and plastics. Physical properties include mixed viscosity of 32,500 cps at 25-

Epoxy Resin System offers chemical resistance.

Two-component EP41S-2 epoxy adhesive/sealant and coating cures at ambient temperatures or more quickly at elevated temperatures. It is 100% reactive and contains no solvents or diluents. EP41S-2 adheres to metals, glass, ceramics, wood, vulcanized rubbers, and plastics. It withstands prolonged immersion in strong organic solvents. Operating temperature range is -60 to +275-

Epoxy System meets NASA low outgassing specfications.

EP30-2 low viscosity, two-component system produces high strength bonds that are resistant to thermal cycling and chemicals. Resin system is 100% reactive and does not contain any solvents or other volatiles. Shrinkage upon cure is -0.0003in/in. Hardened resin provides electrical insulation. EP30-2 cures clear and is suitable for sealing, bonding, and laminating applications. Service operating...

Adhesive/Sealant bonds and encapsulates.

MNRC 04-1347 UV light curing resin is based on aliphatic urethane acrylate monomer blend. At 1 mil thickness, it cures in 10 to 15 seconds with UV light. Transparent liquid is suitable for clear bonds or encapsulation. It bonds to metal, ceramic, glass, and many plastics. MNRC 04-1347 is thixotropic at 25 deg C, and cures to 40-50 Shore A with elongation of 150%. Operating temperature range is...

Adhesive/Sealant bonds most plastics.

MRC 04-1348 UV/Visible light curing adhesive/sealant is based on aliphatic urethane acrylate chemistry. It cures in 2 to 5 seconds with UV light to form bonds that are optically clear and resistant to yellowing, moisture, and some solvents. MRC 04-1348 is semi-thixotropic at 25 deg C, cures to 40 to 50 Shore D, and has operating temperature of -40 to 130 deg C. Transparent liquid is suitable for...
