Ingeo 6201D is a high-viscosity bioresin designed for the production of meltdown nonwovens, which are widely used in wipes and filters. It is made from renewable resources and has a lower carbon footprint than comparable existing petroleum-based products, offering an estimated 30–50% cost savings over conventional fiber-based nonwoven roll goods.

These custom sapphire optics are precision-manufactured in a wide range of configurations with holes, slots, wedges, stepped edges, special coatings, and other characteristics. They feature a Mohs hardness of 9, which is second only to diamond in hardness. They are chemically inert and can be fabricated to precise specifications as lenses, windows, domes, prisms, tubes, rods, and balls, and can be supplied ready for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) assembly. They are available as plano-convex and -concave lenses and windows from 0.5-in. to 6-in.

Plastic components such as seals, shims, vents, and cushions are cut using die-less digital equipment to produce parts with ±0.005 in. precision and narrow cross-sections. The tiny smooth-edged parts typically measure less than 1 in.2 and can have intricate shapes with precise details and hole spacing to ±0.003 in. They can be made from FDA-approved silicones, as well as engineered plastics, composites, microporous plastics, membranes, foams, and felt, and can be supplied with or without adhesive backings.

The CEILCOTE 600HB Flakeline is a two-component, high-build, glass-flake-reinforced epoxy system that provides excellent chemical resistance to alkalis, inorganic solids and many aromatic and aliphatic solvents. It is designed to be spray-applied with a single coat, often without a primer, which saves on application costs and provides considerable labor and time savings. The coating eliminates the potential for intercoat adhesion problems, which can occur with multiple-coat or trowel-applied systems.

Ultem polyetherimide (PEI) resin-based composites, foam and fiber materials withstand very demanding and high-heat conditions. These materials can replace metal to achieve weight reduction without sacrificing performance. Ultem composites may be used to make fabric that provides long-term performance, such as for ultra-lightweight aircraft interiors. Ultem fibers provide excellent flame-smoke-toxicity (FST) performance and can be made into flame-retardant fabrics for use in industrial transportation and home furnishings.

Dent Resistant Coating Technology is a two-layer system consisting of an elastomeric base coat and a dent resistant top coat. The base is a 0.25–2.0-mm-thick layer of silicone that has a thermal conductivity of 0.3–0.8 W/mK and a hardness of 20–70 Shore A. The top layer is a 20–50-µm film coating of fluropolymer with low surface tension that enhances release properties. The technology is applicable to many monochrome and color environments, and can be applied to various substrates, including aluminum and steel inserts, as well as stainless steel, nickel and polyimide belts.

Loctite PowerGrab is a heavy-duty industrial construction adhesive that grabs instantly with nine times the initial holding power of traditional construction adhesives. It can be repositioned for 15 min after it is applied to a surface, and will hold firmly in place until it cures. The adhesive eliminates the need for bracing, nailing and other fastening devices, which saves time and money by enabling a single worker to complete many tasks. It can instantly hold a maximum vertical load of 20 lb/ft2 or 10 lb/cm2 on a porous surface.

FlexB is a boron-based, nonhalogenated flame-retardant (FR) additive for nylon, epoxies and water-based coatings. In testing, it achieved Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-94 V-0 ratings at load levels as low as 3%. This additive is designed for applications where traditional high load levels negatively affect weight, strength and other physical attributes. It is more flame retardant than traditional FR additives by as much as a factor of 10.

Ultraviolet (UV)-curable coatings containing EBECRYL 3300 resin demonstrate high reactivity, good metal adhesion, balanced flexibility and hardness, and excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. This resin is a modified UV epoxy acrylate that is suitable for use on clear and pigmented coatings for metal piping and tubing, as well as other general industrial metal coatings.

KERAFLEX wear-protection systems are suitable for use where high rates of abrasion and impact occur in combination, such as transfer chutes in belt conveyor systems and impact zones in bunkers and silos. Their maximum operating temperature is 176ºF (80ºC), and they are produced in standard panels up to 20 in.2 with welded studs or countersunk bolting attachments. The KERAFLEX-KRM consists of the manufacturer’s ALRESIST high-alumina ceramics with a tile thickness of 0.5 in. or 1.0 in. and a rubber thickness determined by impact severity.
