HYTAC® WFT improves on the strength and clarity of the popular HYTAC® WF through the incorporation of PTFE into the formulation. The result is a 425°F (218°C) high temperature syntactic plug material for use where excessive buildup of residue from the sheet is a problem. HYTAC® WFT may be easily polished for use where a smooth surface is critical to part quality.

HYTAC® B1X is the world’s number one choice in plug assist material due to unique properties of toughness and durability combined with easy machining that results in no dust during manufacture. This thermoplastic syntactic foam resists chips, dings and breakage that result from even the most abusive production conditions. HYTAC® B1X may be machined at up to 3x the speed of typical syntactic foams forming large, non-abrasive chips. In use, this tough plug assist material reduces downtime due to damaged plugs. Less downtime reduces overall costs and yields more consistent quality from the production line.

HYTAC® FLXT is a tough copolymer syntactic plug assist material optimized to provide an ideal balance between surface drag for material distribution, a smooth surface for excellent finish and PTFE-impregnation to eliminate part sticking. This combination has been found to be most beneficial when thermoforming multi-layer films, including those with PE inner surfaces or multi-layered EVOH materials. As with all HYTAC® syntactic plug assists, thermoforms realize instant start up, shorter cycle times and lower plug operating temperatures. HYTAC® FLXT is easily machined with little or no dust and minimal wear on tools. The plug is easily polished for and long lasting.
