Due to its excellent thermal and mechanical properties, this semi-crystalline material belongs to the polymer group of high-performance plastics (HPM).

Fibertec's wollastonite products come in powder and fibrous grades. Powder grades tend to be used as fillers in coatings, adhesives, sealants and paints. It is an inert material with an alkaline pH that improves toughness, weather resistance and moisture absorption. Powders, while having some aspect ratio, all tend to be -325 mesh. Fiber grades have a diameter ranging from 5 to 15 microns and aspect ratios from 15 to 20. They are most commonly used as a lower cost, lower performance replacement for milled fibers in composites. They are compatible with all resins and may be surface treated. Fibertec wollastonites are acicular (needle-like) mineral products milled to various morphologies and bulk densities. These products can be surface treated to enhance performance in thermoset and thermoplastic resins. Fibertec wollastonite is used as functional fillers and reinforcements in composites (thermosets) and compounds (thermoplastics) to increase mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, impact), minimize distortion at elevated temperatures, improve dimensional stability, and provide low moisture absorption.

ELASTOSIL® is an all-rounder for countless applications. Silicone rubbers consist essentially of silicone polymers and fillers. They cure at high temperature (HTV/LSR grades) or room temperature (RTV grades) with suitable reactants, forming a three-dimensional structure and transforming the uncured compound in a plastic state into an elastomeric rubber. Silicone elastomers are flexible at low temperatures and resistant to heat and aging (UV radiation and ozone). They are easy to process and have good mechanical properties that remain unchanged over a wide temperature range. They have a neutral taste and are biologically unreactive.

KyronMAX®, the unmatched carbon fiber-based technology platform. These compounds use a broad range of base polymers (Nylon/PA66, PEEK and PPA) that excel in demanding temperature and chemical environments.Property ComparisonMuch higher mechanical strength vs conventional glass and carbon filled systems, at same fiber percentage loadings. This increased mechanical performance, allows usage of lower filler loadings, increasing the material’s strain, which allows the part to yield and not to fracture.Standard Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) summary compares material stiffness over an elevated temperature range. Conventional glass and carbon filled Nylon compounds loose mechanical performance very quickly when exposed to even low elevated temperatures. In comparison, KyronMAX products demonstrate excellent property retention, even in the harshest of temperature regions.

Since POM belongs to the group of short-chip materials, machining is significantly simplified when compared to similar plastic materials.

DAI-EL differs in its synthetic pathway (production method) from natural rubber, which is synthetized internally in plants, and diene rubber, which uses oil as a raw material, and is a fluoroelastomer that exhibits exceptionally sophisticated qualities.DAI-EL features a tactile sensation that feels good when touched. Because of its extremely high durability due to the performance of the fluorine compound, DAI-El fluoroelastomers have a physical property that resists quality deterioration. This allows the material to maintain its appearance and texture through long-term use.In using Daikin’s own tone technology, an assortment of colors is available.
