IFS Coatings launches IFS Puroplaz PE16. It is a tough thermoplastic-modified polyolefin powder coating. It delivers a unique combination of incredible hardness and excellent flexibility. It possesses very high adhesion properties.
Rare Combination of Hardness & Flexibility
Technical excellence is the key in this exciting formulation. Puroplaz® PE16 delivers a Shore D Hardness of 60. It shows extremely high gravelometer performance. It exhibits outstanding impact and abrasion resistance.
“
This Puroplaz® PE16 formula has a rare combination of hardness and flexibility. These attributes are normally codependent with a trade-off in one for gains in the other. The new formulation overcomes the codependency," said Tim Brinner. He is the vice president of Thermoplastics at IFS Coatings.
"
This makes it ideal for products that will be post-formed after coating. This includes fence wire weaving, which requires excellent abrasion resistance. It can be used to replace nylon coatings in certain applications,” continued Brinner.
“
This product really performs. But also delivers the lower gloss that many of these applications desire," added Brinner.
Free of PVC, Phthalates & BPA
Puroplaz® PE16 is suitable for a wide range of applications. This includes fence poles, baskets, battery boxes, automotive springs and foot traffic areas. It is also applicable in water pipe and fittings petroleum pipe (OD) fittings.
