The Technical Polymers line of Arkema, a specialty chemicals firm, is set to unveil a new visual message on technical solutions and a new material database on fluoropolymer and specialty polyamide resin grades, at K-2016 expo, a premium fair for the plastics and rubber industry, to be held from October 19 to 26, 2016, in Düsseldorf, Germany, in hall 6 / C57.

The visual message will demonstrate its combined elements of a rich 50 year legacy in some of the world's most extreme applications and its dynamic future involving a broad portfolio of new developments: “An extreme world needs extreme materials”.

The Technical Polymers business line started a new simplified communication program. The wide portfolio of technical solutions will be presented to the markets in three families of high performance offerings: the Kynar family of fluoropolymers, the Pebax family of thermoplastic elastomers, and the Rilsan family of polyamide resins and alloys. Simultaneously, the business line is launching a new series of market-based communication packages, each specifically tailored to the challenges of our most demanding applications.

The database displays technical data, charts, and graphs on over 200 grades of Kynar, Pebax, Rilsan, Orgalloy, and Rilsamid resins. This new database allows the customer to compare properties of several grades at once as well as search the database by resin properties. A customised technical data sheet in a PDF format can also be downloaded for each grade on the database. The database provides the user with the ability to view or download the technical data in five languages (English, German, Chinese, Korean and Japanese) and to switch between US and metric units.

The material database includes single point data, as well as graphical information (multi point data). For both categories, extensive tools for navigation and search are available, like generation of tables, comparison of grades, zoom, and print functions.

It facilitates quick and easy comparison between the different grades. Materials can be selected according to grade name and a selection based on numerical values is also possible. The material data sheets generated in PDF format include single point values, curves, and text information. (GK)
