G-Etronax is an all-in-one material. This is because the carefully composed resins combined with the glass base result not only in exceptional resistance but also amazing electrotechnical properties, making G-Etronax suitable for countless applications. G-Etronax is incredibly strong and retains its high mechanical strength even at high temperatures. This material thus has a high thermal stability, and some types of G-Etronax can be used at up to 210°C. Certain selected qualities are also fire-retardant, which is why just the thermal properties alone make G-Etronax a highly versatile material. Add its extremely good electrical insulation properties, low water absorption and high machinability, and you can see that the applications of G-Etronax are virtually limitless.

Mascoat's family of protective, thermal and sound control solutions has been developed over the last 25 years through research & development, scientific study, real world testing and customer input. We are a leading provider in insulating, anti-sweat and sound damping solutions. Whether you have a vessel with condensation issues, a storage tank that requires low energy costs and personnel protection from burns, or a vehicle that needs to reduce the amount of noise inside, Mascoat can help. Each product is custom engineered to provide superior thermal and sound protection for the industrial, commercial, marine and automotive industries. Mascoat is an excellent alternative to conventional insulation and damping materials, including cellular glass, perlite, mineral wool, fiberglass, urethane and closed cell foam, and calcium silicate. Mascoat coatings are lighter than traditional insulation methods, reducing bulk in your structure. Their spray-application can reduce installation times and reduce manpower costs, keeping projects within budget. Best of all, since the coatings adhere directly to the substrate or primer, you will enjoy long-term protection of your equipment, no matter how harsh the environment.

HALOX® Corrosion Inhibitors are effective against flash rusting and in-can corrosion, though the benefits of using these products does not end there. Our HALOX® Corrosion Inhibitors are ideally suited for high gloss, thin film, and clear coat applications. They also provide superior synergy when used in combination with inorganic corrosion inhibitors in traditional coatings. To achieve desired performance of your resin system proper selection of HALOX® Inhibitors is essential.

Ultracomp is the versatile, go-to composite bearing for hundreds of applications. Constructed of synthetic resins and reinforcing fibers, Ultracomp delivers in linear, oscillating and rotary applications to give you the best in design flexibility. It’s the preferred choice whether you are running in wet or dry environments, or when carry loads exceed the limits of all other non-metallic bearing materials.

Santicizer® Plasticizers offer all the benefits of high solvating plasticizers including compatibility in multiple polymer systems such as Polysulfide, PVC and Polyurethane. Because of their high efficiency, less energy is required to fuse PVC formulations. These materials are well suited for plastisol applications, but can easily be used in almost any polymer system that requires additional flexibility and softness.

Tricolit® is a sprayable solution that is heat cured into a hard coating, resulting in reduced frictional losses and wear on various surfaces. It is a versatile product that can be used alone or in combination with other coatings in order to optimize the characteristics of the material. We have a license based business model, and our clients are component manufacturers that have implemented our technology in their manufacturing processes. By doing so, they can add value to their clients by delivering improved properties in terms of reduced friction and wear, all at a competitive price.

aquaBRIGHT™ has been blended entirely using materials that have been tested to comply with NSFIANSI 61 Potable Water Standards. It can be applied onto virtually any substate.

Fibertec mineral wool fibers are inorganic synthetic fibers that have been specifically milled and processed to controlled lengths and with predictable diameters and aspect ratios. These mineral fibers are generated from complex mineral silicates having as primary components silicates of calcium, magnesium and aluminum. Fibertec mineral fibers can be surface treated to enhance performance in selected resin systems. urther, because these fibers are additionally characterized by very low loose and tapped bulk densities, they are desirable for low-density reinforced thermoset and thermoplastic systems.

SuperOhm® peroxide crosslinkable EPR compounds are designed for high temperature stability and superior electrical performance.

Often, fillers have to meet very special requirements. In such cases not only good dispersion characteristics are of importance, but also mechanical and dynamic properties of the final products. Improved electrical insulation resistance, better aging and fluid resistance in many materials and improved anticorrosion properties have a crucial role to play in many areas. At Hoffmann Mineral, we developed Aktisil to meet such customer requirements. This special filler is made by treating the surface of Neuburg Siliceous Earth with chemical agents, mostly silanes. The reaction by-products (e.g. alcohol) formed during the manufacture of the different products of Aktisil are largely removed right away during the process. The coupling reaction fixes the silane to the surface of the filler. Any undesirable side-effects that can occur during mixing by direct addition of the silane are virtually eliminated. So the customer can choose from a complete product range of many different types of Aktisil. This is the result of many years of in-house experience and of close cooperation with customers. Know-how for users’ benefit.

The NORYL family of modified PPE resins consists of amorphous blends of PPO™ resin (polyphenylene ether) and polystyrene. They combine the inherent benefits of PPO resin (affordable high heat resistance, good electrical properties, excellent hydrolytic stability and the ability to use non-halogen FR packages), with excellent dimensional stability, good processibility and low specific gravity.NORYL resins offer a good balance of mechanical and chemical properties, and may be suitable for a wide variety of applications

Our glass fiber reinforcements are 10 or 16 microns in diameter and milled to lengths ranging from 120 to 470 microns. They are used in composites to increase mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strength. They are also used to increase dimensional stability and minimize distortion at elevated temperatures. Milled glass fibers are compatible with all thermoset and thermoplastics resins. Surface treatments are available that may enhance performance. Microglass milled fibers are E-glass filaments hammer milled to various bulk densities. Microglass is used as a filler/reinforcement in composites to increase mechanical properties (tensile, flexural and impact), improve dimensional stability and minimize distortion at elevated temperatures.
