Description
Compounds are blends of polymers and additives designed to optimise the performance of materials in specific applications.
Properties and features
Ability to withstand loads without deforming and greater durability against friction and abrasion
Ability to bend without breaking, crucial for applications requiring a certain degree of elasticity
Stability at high temperatures, which is essential for applications in thermally demanding environments
Suitable for applications requiring heat dissipation
Resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, ideal for corrosive environments or applications in contact with aggressive substances.
Ability to prevent the passage of electrical current, used in electronics and cable insulation.
Possibility of varied and uniform colouring, important for applications where appearance is critical.
Allows specific textures and appearances to be achieved, from gloss to matt.
Ability to delay or inhibit the spread of flames
