ULTRA LOW TEMPERATURE IMPACT MODIFIER(S) FOR THE ENGINEERING RESINS
LENOIR, NORTH CAROLINA, U.S.A., January 30, 2003 --- A decade of expertise
in new polymer innovations has yielded uncompromising pelletized ultra
low temperature (< -55oC) impact modifiers for PBT, PC, and NYLON(s)
by PolyChem Alloy®, Inc. (PCA). “This innovation has been possible because
of PolyChem’s captive expertise in process development coupled with the
ability to customize extrusion machinery”, stated Chak Gupta, PCA president.
Trade named ABUSTTM and MEBUSTTM, these virgin impact modifiers with butadiene
content in excess of 65% have no melting point and can easily be mixed
with an array of high temperature (>250oC) engineering resins. Test
data attached reflects optimum use levels for formulators and compounders
of low-temperature impact modified compounds for injection molded parts.
Our palletized impact modifiers have <0.05% moisture and are free-flowing. This improves handling characteristics and minimizes flammability concerns associated with the handling of impact modified powders. ABUST® and MEBUST® have been used by compounders in the Automotive, Furniture & Appliance, Wire & Cable, and Construction industries where high impact strength at sub zero temperature is a pre-requisite.
Headquartered in Lenoir, North Carolina, U.S.A., PolyChem Alloy®, Inc. is a technology based manufacturer of additives and chemical masterbatches and compounds. At PolyChem Alloy®, Inc. complying with six sigma protocol is the norm rather than the exception. PolyChem Alloy®, Inc. produces, inter-alia, an array of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) with Shore-A hardness ranging from ‘00’ to a Shore-A hardness of ‘70’. Visit our web site: www.polychemalloy.com
