They're Tough In the Cold (from Plastics Technology, May 2003)
New pelletized impact modifiers are designed to toughen PBT, PC, PC/PBT alloys, and nylon at ultra-low temperatures down to -131o F. Abust® and Mebust® tri-block copolymers from PolyChem Alloy®, Inc., Lenoir, N.C., are high-butadiene ABS and MBS types, respectively.
These non-melting additives can be mixed with engineering resins at temperatures above 480o F and are stable even above 580o F. These free-flowing, pelletized modifiers are said to improve handling and minimize flammability concerns associated with powdered modifiers. Tel:(828) 754-7570, www.polychemalloy.com.
PolyChem Alloy® Introduces ABUST® and MEBUST®
Ultra Low Temperature Impact Modifiers for Engineering Resins.
A decade of expertise in new polymer innovations has yielded uncompromising pelletized ultra low temperature (< -55o C) impact modifiers for PBT, PC, and NYLON(s) by PolyChem Alloy®, Inc.

PolyChem Alloy® Introduces 100% Closed Cell Resilient Foamed Polyethylene Insulation.
A quarter of a century’s dedicated commitment to producing a 100% closed fine-cellular foam finished part has lead PolyChem Alloy® to the production of a closed cell resilient foamed polyethylene insulation. This foamed elastomeric insulation possesses good cutting characteristics and low water and vapor permeability. The serviceability upper temperature limit for this foamed insulation is 210oF. Another major advantage of our proprietary insulation technology is the production of a very low dielectric loss (approximately 20 to 30 micro radians @ 2 GHz) CATV and RF coaxial cable with improved physical properties (bending radius of < 2” for a 1” diameter dielectric).
