Clocell® is a thermoexpandable microcapsule of liquid hydrocarbon surrounded by a thick thermoplastic resin shell. The thick shell of Clocell gives it pressure resistibility of up to 300 kg/cm², which makes it resistant to the destructive power of high-speed rotating blades. The thick shell and globular shape also give Clocell its unique heat and solvent resistant capabilities. Heating Clocell microcapsules causes the shell material to soften, which increases the internal pressure and allows the blowing agent to expand. The tensile strength of the shell material balances with the internal pressure from the vaporized hydrocarbon gas. Further heating allows the gas to pass through the thinned shell material, which increases the tensile strength of the shell. The resulting product is a low-density foamed layer with almost no possibility of bursting or punctures. Clocell products have excellent heat and solvent resistance, and prohibit yellowing or breakdown caused by prolonged exposure to heat, ultraviolet radiation, or high pH atmospheres.

FlexPlast® Thermoplastic Elastomer is a plastic material that combines the processing advantages of a thermoplastic with the properties and performance of a rubber-like material. The product is a soft, flexible, highly elastic material that can be custom formulated to perform in a variety of processes, including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and thermoforming. These lower modulus, flexible materials can typically be stretched repeatedly, only to return to their original shape when relaxed. When heated, FlexPlast® will soften until it flows, making it suitable for formation into complex shapes using standard thermoplastic processing equipment.

GMS products are additive masterbatch concentrates, available in a uniform pelletized shape, that offer prevention against cell collapse and cell stabilization in PE and LDPE microcellular foam. A major additional feature is protection against static build-up on foam parts during and post extrusion, and especially during the take-off of foamed sheet. GMS is typically offered as GMS-2004, a 20% concentrate of the GMS additive in a LDPE carrier. Other GMS additive levels, such as 10% to 40%, are available upon special request. The usage level of GMS-2004 typically falls within the range of 2 to 10%, depending upon the application.

PolyBlend series of adhesives are relatively non-polar thermoplastic compounds with the surface energies below 28 dynes. The PolyBlend 918 has the lowest of dissipation factor at 18 GHz or higher. This makes the adhesive ideal for CATV and RF cable applications. PolyBlend 918 thermoplastic adhesive is electrically clean and stable at elevated temperatures in excess of 600 degree Fahrenheit. PolyBlend 918 is applied on the clean drawn copper and/or aluminum wire via a pre-coat crosshead extruder. The conductor passes through the crosshead tip and a thin layer of molten PolyBlend 918 is applied onto the wire. The adhesive is cooled by air and thereafter allowed to pass through a single or a twin screw extruder’s tip where the dielectric PE foam is applied onto the wire. The PolyBlend 918 bonds to the conductor as well as to the PE foam. This allows PE foam dielectric free of moisture ingress into the cable dielectric.

Talc nucleator products are additive masterbatch concentrates designed for the nucleation of both commodity and engineering thermoplastic resins. Talc Nucleators typically contain 40 to 60 % by weight of talc in a PE, PP, or PS carrier. Other carriers, and other talc levels, such as 25%, are available upon request. About 80% of the talc particle size used in these products is less than 1 micron, with the remaining particle sizes ranging from 1 to 5 microns. Talc Nucleators are typically used as physical nucleating agents for extruded foam, and are generally used at a 0.4 to 2.0% let-down level, depending upon the application. These products are available in a uniform pellet shape, eliminating the processing concerns associated with dusts or powders.
