Created from a patent portfolio acquired from University of Missouri professor Nick Leventis, they make it possible to produce strong,
non-brittle, ultra-lightweight, multi-functional structures that can be molded, machined or thermoformed.
After some initial testing to find the optimum moisture content of the PBT needed to make
non-brittle parts consistently, PTC was able to mold parts that were virtually 100% defect-free and passed the fracture test.
Drangonkraft states the system is a strong contender to traditional resins as it produces a high strength flexible cured resin with a
non-brittle finish.
Borpact BCgl 8CF has stiffness, heat and impact resistance, high gloss and low haze, Borealis says, and provides the high clarity typical of PP homopolymers together with the
non-brittle performance of heterophasic copolymers.
As a result the nanocomposite formation permits in this situation to obtain the elastic
non-brittle films based on the brittle polyurethane matrix.
In substation applications, composite surge arrestors, breakers and insulators, due to the
non-brittle housing, can overcome the damage to neighboring installations that occurs due to fracture of porcelain-housed apparatus.
* Squeezable--The flexible and
non-brittle nature of polyethylene allows it to be "squeezed off" to stop the flow of gas or fluids in the event that a valve is either to far away or can't be found.
The VEC Shield(TM) finish provides a finish that is
non-brittle, non- wavy, fade resistant and dramatically increases the gloss and finish over the marine industry's present standard gel coat process.
Working with the pump manufacturers, the specialist recommended replacing the bushings with ones made with Victrex PEEK polymer, Xytrex, a
non-brittle carbon-fiber reinforced composite.
If you use the composite inserts install them with Bohning's Power Bond to assure a solid,
non-brittle connection.
That's because
non-brittle trays retrieve their original shape even after being dropped in a -25 degrees C environment.
