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.

OrelTech’s unique process allows printing and aerosol spraying of highly conductive platinum thin films, high surface area structures or non-connected nanoparticle islands. Printed layers undergo short development (curing) using plasma treatment resulting in a thin fine pure platinum structure. OrelTech inks in liquid form do not contain nanoparticles and are significantly environmentally friendlier than the alternatives on the market. Lack of nanoparticles also allows them to be much more cost-effective than other conductive inks.

Polyimide (PI) are a class of high performing polymers recognized for their outstanding mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Polyimides typically exhibit consistent properties through high and low temperatures and possess very good dielectric traits. These thermally stable polymers are biocompatible for use within the body and are sterilizable by several methods. Polyimides are also very resistant to abrasion and have very good wear characteristics. Polyimide can be applied as a coating for over-the-wire (OTW; PI insulated wire) applications for both medical and non-medical uses. Polyimide provides a low friction surface for ease of pushability (deployment) of PI insulated lead wires and can be applied in extremely thin coatings. PI Glide™, a PI / PTFE composite, is an alternative for applications that require a more lubricious surface but do not require the performance of pure PTFE. PI and PI Glide™ coated wire are also available in a layered or composite construction allowing further customization of properties.

Silicone rubber is a high-performance elastomer that is ideal for high and low-temperature applications. VMQ’s unique structure provides material flexibility, and it is consistent over a wide range of temperatures thanks to its chemical characteristics.

ResinLab offers a wide variety of adhesive chemistries for your bonding application including anaerobic, cyanoacrylate, epoxy, methacrylate, polyurethane, thermally and electrically conductive varieties. All offer high strength bonds to most surfaces, often many times stronger than the substrates themselves. Our structural adhesives provide excellent environmental and chemical resistance to materials such as acids, bases, solvents, fuels, greases, moisture, sunlight, and weathering across a wide temperature range. Additionally, they provide improved esthetics when compared to mechanical fasteners by eliminating distortion of the surface by screws and bolts or the discoloration of welding.

FORMACROM is the brand of technopolymers that identifies ABS compounds manufactured by Formac. All of the materials produced by us are ISO 9001:2015 certified and compliant with the highest quality standards in the sector.

ELASTOSIL® LR liquid silicone rubber products are two-part silicone rubber grades which can be injection molded on fully automated machines without the need for secondary processing. They are generally platinum-curing and vulcanize under heat and pressure. As a rule, the A component contains the platinum catalyst while the B component consists of the crosslinker. They are ideal for high-volume manufacturing and so help to keep unit costs down.
