Some manufacturers are choosing polymer-metal composites that provide the equivalent weight of metal, but also allow for the design freedom provided by thermoplastics.

Simply defined, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a type of plastic that have been refined to create a soft, rubbery feel.

OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers

Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites. The main difference between a thermoset and thermoplastic is a thermoset cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled while thermoplastics can be reheated and re-formed.  Organo sheets are another kind of laminate and can be made from carbon, glass, or aramid fiber fabrics. 

CESA™ Block Additives Antiblocking PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Unmodified film and sheet can adhere, causing problems of separation. CESA™ Block additives modify the surface characteristics and improve the coefficient of the friction of the sheet or film, preventing self-adhesion.

We must make changes to our Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), soon to be called Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) under the new GHS format.
