* Z-311, a first generation
low-temperature HNBR, 25% ACN, 95% saturated;
Durability tests show that these soft TPOs outperform PVC in three ways: retained flexibility after heat aging at 120 C, better
low-temperature impact, and improved resistance to common cleaning fluids.
In a third new application, the
low-temperature impact resistance and weight-saving potential of Nyrim are shown in its successful replacement of cast steel in wheels and wheel guides for snow groomers.
They reportedly withstand higher pressures at higher temperatures than previous HDPE pipe resins and offer excellent ESCR and
low-temperature toughness.
Standard tests on
low-temperature resistance depend on the fact that progressive cooling of rubber increases its modulus and ultimately makes it brittle or glassy.
Exceed 1012CA also boasts better
low-temperature impact performance for frozen-food packaging.
3) with an increase in cost but also decrease the
low-temperature performance of FKM elastomers.
Newer Metocene impact copolymer molding grades combine good transparency with
low-temperature toughness (down to -4 F) and reportedly unprecedented organoleptic properties.
At low temperatures, compression-set measurements are an indication of
low-temperature flexibility.
The phosphorus-nitrogen backbone gives the FZ elastomer its inherent fatigue resistance and superior
low-temperature performance (figures 1 and 2).
[BMC] announced the release of Badger Tundra, a first-of-its-kind, activator-free,
low-temperature resin coated Northern White sand that works in conditions as low as 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
