Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

Endex 2650™ utilizes innovative technology to produce superior quality foamed products. It generates very fine, closed-cell foams, which result in moldings and extrusions of high quality.

Endex 2650™ Processing Aid can be used in injection molding for cycle time reduction, improved polymer flow, reduced processing temperatures, improved weld line strength, and to
eliminate molded-in stresses which cause warp and sinks

Advantages

Endex 2650™ has many advantages for the plastics processor, including:

  • Fine cell structure
  • Shorter cycle times
  • Faster extrusion
  • Thick, smooth skins in SFM
  • Fast degassing
  • Fast painting and decorating
  • No plate-out on molds
  • Beryllium-copper compatible
  • G.R.A.S. or FDA sanctioned ingredients

Applications & Uses

Markets
Use level
