New reinforcements for thermoplastics, thermosets.Two fiberglass suppliers recently introduced several new continuous and chopped-fiber products for thermoplastic and thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. composites: * MultiStar 277 is a new assembled roving for Class A SMC SMC Saint Mary's College SMC Santa Monica College SMC Solaris Management Console SMC Smooth Muscle Cell SMC Small Magellanic Cloud (also see LMC) SMC Safety Management Certificate (maritime shipping) auto exterior panels. It comes from Johns Manville (JM), Denver. Tel: (800) 654-3103 * www.jm.com * For the fast-growing direct long-fiber thermoplastic compounding and molding (D-LFT) market, JM introduced StarRov LFTplus 474. It is aimed at colored polypropylene parts, in which it is said to generate low fuzz and improved surface finish. * ThermoFlow 768 is JM's newest chopped strand, aimed at high-temperature thermoplastics like PPS (Packets Per Second) The measurement of activity in a local area network (LAN). In LANs such as Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI, as well as the Internet, data is broken up and transmitted in packets (frames), each with a source and destination address. , PEEK, and polyetherimide (GE's Ultem). It comes in 4-mm length and 10-micron fiber diam. * Two other chopped strands for high-temperature thermoplastics are new from Owens Coming, Toledo, Ohio. PerforMax 798 is said to withstand up to 400 C (752 F) with 40% lower outgassing Outgassing (sometimes called "Offgassing," particularly when in reference to indoor air quality) is the slow release of a gas that was trapped, frozen, absorbed or adsorbed in some material. than previous products, suiting it to small electronic parts of PPS and LCP (Link Control Protocol) See PPP. LCP - Link Control Protocol . Also new is PerforMax HR 562, said to be unmatched in hydrolysis resistance in PPS hot-water plumbing and heating. Tel: 800-G ET-PINK * www.owenscorning.com |
