Available with glass, mineral- and mixed-filler options, Bergadur PBT can also be provided in UL listed flame retardant versions and impact-modified grades.

Highly specialized solutions, LND coatings add application flexibility as they can also be used as an antistatic coating on PTFE impregnated glass cloth, or as a resistance carrier for heating bands.

LSR flows easily into molds with varied wall thicknesses and can fill very long, thin sections of a mold. Though the viscosity of TPEs are reduced when processed at high shear rates, TPEs must be “packed” into a mold to ensure complete fill-out. Materials with lower specific gravity will fill more volume and therefore yield more parts per pound.

Common examples are polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polyketone (PK), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Examples of semi-crystalline polymers are PP, polyethylene (PE), PA6, PA66, polyphthalamide (PPA), polybutylene/polyethylene terephthalate (PBT/PET), polyoxymethylene (POM) or acetal, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyether ether ketone (PEEK). Mold Filling Simulation Simulates how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process to validate part design & material solution.

The unique positioning of the continuous glass fibers within the Polystrand™ material makes the very thin profile of the FlexSpring™ composite insoles possible,” said Gordon. They fit comfortably in most athletic shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber properties providing comfort and performance benefits to the user.
