RTP launches PC/acrylic compounds with high impact-productivity balance

摘要

A leading compounder has developed a series of specialty compounds based on a polycarbonate/acrylic alloy. The RTP 1800 A series from RTP Co, Winona, Minnesota, USA, reportedly offers greater impact strength than polycarbonate and maintains the ease of processing associated with acrylics. Potential uses for the grades include portable phone and pager housings, appliance components, toys, pen housings, furniture, automotive components, medical devices, gears, protective casings, and extruded or thermoformed sheet.
