It is targeting efforts toward applications that include automotive weatherseals and under the hood, building and construction products, medical goods and apparel, products which need to meet FDA and NSF requirements, appliances, electrical and electronic products and packaging, and consumer goods. These provide a thermal path between heat sources and heat sinks. Used in electronic and telecommunications applications, TC2000 allows intimate contact between components where a large gap is generated in assembly design. Alcryn MPR is a melt-processible rubber that delivers the durable performance characteristics of rubber, and easily processes on conventional plastics equipment. It does not require vulcanization, pre-drying or any compounding before processing.
Scrap is recycled with no detrimental effect on performance or appearance.
It outperforms soft TPEs and many vulcanized rubbers in durability, coefficient of friction, and resistance to abrasion. The nation's fifth-largest public transportation system is upgrading the infrastructure of its light rail system by installing conduit clamps made with plated steel or stainless steel and Dytron XL thermoplastic elastomer. The clamps protect the critical electrical circuits and pipes within the system's tunnels from exposure to water, fire, heat and other potential hazards. The clamps are used to bundle the electrical cables and process pipes that are bolted to walls, ceilings and service raceways. The cushion is designed-in for safety.
