UN NUEVO COMPUESTO TERMOPLÁSTICO DE QUADRANT EPP AÑADE A LAS VENTAJAS DE LOS PLÁSTICOS DE INGENIERÍA UN MAYOR NIVEL DE RESISTENCIA ESTRUCTURAL PARA SUSTITUIR METALES

Tielt, Bélgica – Junio de 2007 – Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP) ha desarrollado una nueva tecnología para incorporar refuerzo de fibra de vidrio a las matrices de polímeros a fin de multiplicar la resistencia estructural de diversos plásticos de ingeniería en forma de hoja y de placa gruesa. Como consecuencia del aumento de rigidez que se puede conseguir así, los nuevos compuestos termoplásticos (TPC) extenderán las ventajas de los plásticos de ingeniería frente a los metales y a los termoestables a aplicaciones donde la resistencia estructural era hasta ahora una limitación, o donde el espesor de material necesario resultaba prohibitivo.

QUADRANT EPP APUNTA ALTO CON NUEVAS FORMAS PREDETERMINADAS DE BAJA FRICCIÓN Y BAJO DESGASTE PARA JUNTAS Y COJINETES

El fabricante de formas predeterminadas Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (Quadrant EPP) ha ampliado su gama Fluorosint® de formas exclusivas basadas en PTFE de altas prestaciones para mecanizar añadiendo un grado apto para entornos extremos y temperaturas comprendidas entre    240°C y +260°C. 
Fluorosint® HPV supera a los materiales tradicionales de PTFE y a muchos otros polímeros de ingeniería. Está concebido para aplicaciones como las juntas y los cojinetes dinámicos que requieren alta resistencia al desgaste y baja fricción. Es ideal para componentes no lubricados de alta carga de cojinete destinados a entornos extremos donde los metales fracasan debido a la erosión y la corrosión. Dado que Fluorosint® HPV cumple las estipulaciones de la FDA, resulta también idóneo para cojinetes y juntas de equipos de transformación alimentaria.

QUADRANT ENGINEERING PLASTIC PRODUCTS INTRODUCES NEXT GENERATION MATERIALS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING AND TEST APPLICATIONS

Semitron® CMP LL5 is one of the new materials developed by Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products to deliver longer production life in Chemical Mechanical Planarization retaining rings. Semitron CMP LL5 is an enhanced polyester developed with wear characteristics and inherent quality specifications geared to the semiconductor industry. Laboratory simulations show that Semitron CMP LL5 extends retaining ring-life by as much as 5 times over rings made of traditional PPS, depending on process conditions. The new product is also a lower cost alternative to PPS and suitable for use in all CMP processes, is ideal for use in ring designs that have steel or ceramic reinforcement. TIELT, BELGIUM – k 2004 – Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products (QEPP) has developed four new products to extend the production life and reliability of applications in Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) and in test and handling components. The company has also announced a development grade of an ultra high purity product available on a limited basis for co-development projects prior to commercialization planned for mid-2005.

PROVIDING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FROM FLUOROPLASTICS

The high pressure dual laminate absorption column withstands pressures between -1.0 bar (-14.7 psig) of vacuum and 3.1 bar (45 psig) of internal pressure. LENZBURG, SWITZERLAND – K 2004 – Fluoroplastics are well known under the Teflon brand name and most people are familiar with it as giving non-sticky properties in pans for household use. However, what many people do not know is that fluoroplastics find a much wider use in many industrial and non-industrial applications, having remarkable temperature, purity, high chemical and corrosion resistance properties that provide high performing, cost-efficient solutions for applications in industries like semiconductors, chemical processing, environmental and energy management or oil exploration. Under the SYMALIT brand name, Quadrant Engineering Plastic Products offers a number of fluoroplastics including plain sheets, fabric backed lining sheets, films, rods, and other forms made of materials such as PVDF, ECTFE, ETFE, FEP, MFA or PFA, all of which are fluoroplastics with distinctive performance qualities.
