Product Description
Geon™ SF molding compounds utilize patent pending technology to expand rigid vinyl’s processing window, delivering superior flow and improved thermal stability compared to current injection molding formulations. Geon™ SF compounds allow injection molders to select vinyl for indoor or outdoor applications previously requiring more expensive engineered thermoplastics to produce large or thin-walled parts. Key features include:
- 25% improvement in melt flow
- 75% improvement in thermal stability during molding
- Reduced shear burning during molding
Value to Manufacturers
- Reduced production costs by replacing higher cost engineered polymers like FR ABS, PC+ABS, PC, PPE+PS and PBT
- Improved production efficiencies for existing applications through reduced scrap rate and/or cycle time where vinyl processing is marginal
- Create differentiated products with materials that can fill large or thin-walled tools
Markets & Applications
- Shake siding
- Railing spindles
- Laundry appliance housings
- Other large or thin-walled applications
The Geon™ SF Advantage
Geon™ SF rigid vinyl molding compounds show improved flow and thermal stability compared to current formulations, resulting in easier processing and expanding the range of applications in which rigid vinyl can be used.
