Specialty Polymers Division - Industry

Supplied in masterbatch form. Beki-Shield® stainless steel fibres are an excellent means to make thermoplastics, elastomers, rubbers, floor and wall coatings conductive for EMI shielding or ESD protective purposes.

• EMI shielding. Non conductive plastics are transparent to electro-magnetic radiation and can prevent the use of plastics for some electronic devices. One solution is to make the plastic conductive by adding Beki-Shield® stainless steel fibres.
• ESD protection. Electrically insulating plastics and coatings can cause electrostatic charging and discharging problems in some applications. Addition of Beki-Shield® fibres makes the polymer conductive to prevent charge build up or provide a safe path for current discharge.
• Increased thermal conductivity.
• Enable light or pastel colours.

• Static resistant flooring.
• Castor wheels.
• Fuel systems.
• Electronic equipment housing.

Plexiglas® moulding compounds are thermoplastics based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

Applications

• Automotive lenses
• Non transparent automotive components
• Coextruded capping
• Medical devices
• Electrical appliances
• Toys

Clarity

Plexiglas® crystal clear moulding compounds provide the maximum possible light transmission, 92%.

Longevity

• Plexiglas® moulding compounds provide unsurpassed resistance to weathering and aging. They do not yellow or fade, have excellent resistance to chemical attack and abrasion.
• Plexiglas® moulding compounds are the standard for automotive lenses in many parts of the world.

Abrasion resistance

Plexiglas® moulding compounds have excellent hardness and mar resistance.

Food contact approval

Plexiglas® moulding compounds meet the requirements of FDA and EEC food contact directives.

Certified quality

Plexiglas® moulding compound production and product quality is in accordance with the requirements of ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and ISO TS 16949:2002.

Range of grades

The range of Plexiglas® moulding compounds includes high and intermediate flow, automotive lens grades and colours, high heat resistance and impact modified, light diffusion, optical quality and non transparent exterior automotive grades.

Plexiglas® zk impact modified moulding compounds are suitable for extruding and coextruding sheet and profiles and injection moulding.

• Plexiglas® FT-15. A new moulding compound based on PMMA with 115ºC vicat softening temperature.
• Plexiglas® HW55. Particularly suitable for injection moulded parts subjected to high thermal stress.
• Pleximid®. A product based on polymethyl methacrylimide (PMMI) for applications requiring particularly high heat deflection temperature under load and chemical resistance.

Moulding compounds with very good light diffusion at minimum light loss. Suitable for lighting lenses, point of sale display, advertising and decorative items.

Specialty moulding compounds of high optical purity for applications that call for particularly high transmission in long light paths.

Particularly suitable for moulding parts requiring high gloss class A finish, high heat deflection, abrasion and weather resistance.

Moulding compound that reflects heat rays directly at the surface, reducing heat buildup in exterior dark plastic components by 15 to 20%.

Cyrolite products are impact resistant thermoplastic moulding compounds that can be injection moulded, extruded, injection – blow moulded and extrusion blow moulded into medical applications.
