Algoflon® F 5/S is a fine cut homopolymer PTFE powder that is white, granular and non-free flowing powder. It is designed for compounds production and in particular it is recommended for use with high filler content. This material exhibits high bulk density, tensile strength and elongation at break. Black compounds based on Algoflon® F5/S show optimum isotropic behaviour and therefore excellent longitudinal mechanical properties. Main features of Algoflon® F 5/S are: - High bulk density - Very good mechanical properties - Excellent blendability - Very good electrical properties - Isotropic properties

Algoflon® F 7 is a fine cut homopolymer PTFE powder that is white, granular and non-free flowing. It is designed for normal compression molding and in particular molding of large billets for low thickness skived tapes down to 1 mil (25 µm). Algoflon® F 7 exhibits high bulk density, optimum isotropic behavior and very good mechanical and electrical properties. Main features of Algoflon® F 7 are: - Optimum mechanical properties - Optimum isotropic properties - Very good electrical properties - Excellent surface finishing - Excellent skivability

Algoflon® S 121 is a white, granular, free-flowing PTFE powder that is designed for sheet molding and isostatic molding of complex shapes. The material has a large average particle size and high bulk density. Additionally, it shows good powder flow whilst maintaining high mechanical properties due to its soft particles. Main features of Algoflon® S 121 are: - Large particle size - High bulk density - Good flowability - Good mechanical properties

Alve-One® foaming solutions are based on a portfolio of ADCA-free chemical blowing agents that may be tailored to the needs of the thermoplastics, elastomers and PVC (rigid and flexible) producers. The solutions offer specific plastic's properties: insulation, strength, lightweight, cushioning, softness, appearance.

AvaSpire® AV-621 is an unreinforced polyaryletherketone (PAEK) that offers improved ductility and impact strength relative to PEEK while retaining most of the key performance attributes of PEEK. The AV-621 grade is the low melt flow (higher molecular weight) analogue of the medium flow grade AvaSpire® AV-651 that is tailored primarily for injection molding applications as well as film extrusion. AvaSpire® AV-621 resin is suited for a variety of processing methods including compression molding, stock shape extrusion, as well as injection molding. AV-621 has been formulated for applications requiring a balance of chemical resistance and mechanical strength along with good part aesthetics, thereby bridging the performance gaps within the ultra polymers space. These and other properties make this resin well-suited for applications in healthcare, transportation, semiconductor, electronics, chemical processing, and other industries. AvaSpire® AV-621 is easily fabricated using conventional thermoplastic melt processing techniques and standard equipment. The resin has a uniform opaque appearance with a beige color similar to that of PEEK. - AvaSpire® AV-621 NT

Hyflon® MFA 1041 is a high extrusion speed resin specifically designed for insulation for plenum-rated LAN cables. MFA 1041 delivers superior electrical performance in addition to its excellent fire characteristics, physical properties, and processing. The unique chemical structure of MFA provides the superior properties necessary for the increasingly demanding telecommunications industry. Cables manufactured with MFA 1041 have met the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) Category 6 standard. The extremely low attenuation of MFA 1041 makes it a logical choice for the developing Augmented Category 6 standard. Cables made from MFA 1041 have met the fire performance requirements called out in NFPA 90a ("Standard for Air- Conditioning and Ventilating Systems"). Hyflon® MFA 1041 is not recommended for heavy wall applications where significant thermal stress crack resistance is required.

Hyflon® PFA is a family of semi-crystalline, melt processable perfluoropolymers which combine excellent mechanical characteristics to unique properties such as chemical inertness, heat resistance, inherent flame resistance, low surface energy and exceptional dielectric properties. PFA resins are designed to retain their properties over a wide range of temperatures (-196/260°C or -320/500°F) and are the material of choice in applications such as linings in the Chemical Process Industry, specialty cables, semiconductor industry, aerospace, etc. Hyflon® PFA P420 is a high molecular weight, low melt flow rate multi-purpose resin designed for pipe, cable and stock shapes extrusion, injection, compression, and transfer molding. Hyflon® PFA P420 is an ASTM D3307 - Type II resin.

Hyflon® F is a unique new family of PFA polymers which combine excellent mechanical characteristics to unique properties such as chemical inertness, high flexural endurance, inherent flame resistance, low surface energy and exceptional dielectric properties. Hyflon® PFA F1520 is a low melt flow rate multi purpose resin with an exceptional stress crack resistance, continuous service temperature up to 225°C and a 100-150x10³ cycles flex-life (on a 0.3mm flim, ASTM D2176).
