Anti-blocking Agents
Others
"TECHPOLYMER" provides unique effects in a variety of application in addition to display, coating and cosmetics applications. In addition, we offer added value to our customer's application through a variety of product customizations.
In this section we would like to introduce some of the specialized applications for which "TECHPOLYMER" is used. "TECHPOLYMER" can bring a variety of new effects and results to our customers product development in addition to those listed here, so contact us for a consultation on how we can contribute to your product development.
Anti-blocking Agents for Film
Adding "TECHPOLYMER" in extruded films or in coatings on the surface of films can provide the films with anti-blocking effects by the uneven surface created on the film. Compared to inorganic materials (such as silica), "TECHPOLYMER" has high chemical affinity with the base resins, and can help prevent damage on the surface of the film while reducing loss of the anti-blocking agent. In addition, for applications which require high transparency, "TECHPOLYMER" offers solutions from various refractive index and sizes.
Customization of the particle size and refractive index adjustment is available for requests to further increase transparency in the applications.
Calcination Binder
"TECHPOLYMER" IBM-3 is a methacrylic resin with good heat decomposition properties in a non-oxygenated atmospheres. It can be used for binders that leave no carbide residue when sintered. It has good solubility in a range of solvents, and its viscosity can be adjusted to suit your purposes.
