Moulders can cut cycle time for PBT parts up to 30 percent with new super-fast grades of DuPont Crastin PBT thermoplastic polyester. Designated Crastin SF, the new resins come in non-reinforced form and in reinforced versions with 15 or 30 percent glass fibre.
Teknor Apex Company has signed a licensing agreement with Cerestech Inc. on a unique method for blending relatively low-cost thermoplastic starch (TPS) with synthetic polymers or other bioplastics while retaining high levels of key performance properties, the companies announced jointly today.
The launch of DuPont Delrin 300CP marks the development of a new polyacetal (polyoxymethylene, POM) offering a distinct combination of properties. The engineering thermoplastic combines high impact resistance, even at low temperatures, with high stiffness, strength and elongation at yield - yet it is particularly efficient during processing, thanks to its relatively low melt viscosity.
