Polymer compounds
PVC Compound
PVC compounds are obtained from a specific combination of PVC powder and plasticizers and other additives depending on the application. The use of PVC compounds is recommended to overcome the poor thermal stability and photochemical degradation of PVC. Thermal stabilizers and light stabilizers are usually added to these compounds.
PVC compounds are offered in two categories at Atman: soft (P-PVC) and hard (U-PVC).
- Features of various PVC compounds:
- Fire retardant
- High dimensional stability
- High tensile properties
- High bulk strength
- Resistant to UV radiation
- Very high thermal stability
- Resistant to corrosion, rot and rust
- No moisture absorption and free of toxic substances
- Light weight with bending strength
- High impact resistance
- Good chemical resistance
- Excellent printability
P-PVC Compound Applications:
- Bottles
- Hoses
- Floor coverings
- Artificial leather
- Some shoes
- Electrical wires and cables
- Interior coverings
- Vehicle types
U-PVC Compound Applications:
- Profiles
- Packaging Industry
- Connections and Separators
- Separation Panels
- Construction of Storage Tanks
- Electrical Goods
- Agricultural and Industrial Valves
- Construction Industry (Pipe and Fittings, Profiles, Sewer Pipes, Wall and Floor Coverings)
PP Compound
Polypropylene (PP) is a tough, crystalline thermoplastic widely used in everyday objects. The addition of various mineral fillers, impermeable fiberglass materials, glass lift, etc., gives polypropylene compounds unique properties.
PP Compound Features:
- Reduced price
- Recyclable
- Increased dimensional stability
- Increased elastic properties
- Good heat resistance
- Increased tensile and flexural modulus
- Increased scratch and dent resistance
- Increased tensile strength and impact resistance
PP Compound Applications:
- Household products and consumer goods including transparent parts, home appliances and furniture, etc.
- Automotive applications including battery trays, bumpers, mudguards, interior trim, instrument panels, door trims, etc.
- As a film in industrial applications
- Medical applications such as syringes
- Fibers and fabrics
- Packaging
