Indian resin maker expands U.S. presence.Gharda Polymers, an Indian producer of high-performance sulfone 1. the radical SO2. 2. a compound containing two hydrocarbon radicals attached to the —SO2— group, especially dapsone and its derivatives, which are potent antibacterials effective against many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms and are widely used as leprostatics. and ketone ketone /ke·tone/ (ke´ton) any of a class of organic compounds containing the carbonyl group, CdbondO, whose carbon atom is joined to two other carbon atoms, i.e., with the carbonyl group occurring within the carbon chain. ke·tone (k resins, has opened a direct sales office m Newtown, Pa., in response to strong growth for its materials in the U.S. The company, which initially sold through a distributor, says in the future it will also provide service and technical assistance to meet the increased demand. An expansion in India, slated for completion in the first quarter of 2006, will boost its sulfone capacity by 75%. Recent material introductions include Gafone B2300, a transparent, impact-modified polyethersulfone (PES 1. foot. 2. any footlike part. pes (p  s)n. pl. ), which is said to fit between standard PES and polyphenylsulfone (Gafone P or Solvay's Radel R). It is said to offer better impact than polyetherimide (GE's Ultem). Another new material, Gafone T6300, is a high-temperature polyether ether ether (e´ther) 1. an organic compound having an oxygen atom bonded to two carbon atoms; R–O–R'. 2. C2H5OC2H5(diethyl or ethyl e.); the first inhalational anesthetic used for surgical anesthesia, now little used because of its flammability. sulfone sulfone (PEESS) with a Tg between 265 and 270 C. Gharda says T6300 offers the highest heat resistance of any amorphous thermoplastic. Gharda also makes polysulfone and PEEK. Tel: (215) 968-9474 * PTDirect 369XF
