Test items by grade
Values below are taken from the product data sheet. Batch results are governed by the accompanying COA.
| Property | TEP-F019 |
|---|---|
| Grade | TEP-F019 |
| Appearance | White or pale yellow powder |
| Particle size | 30–40 μm |
| Expansion start (°C) | 140–160 |
| Maximum expansion (°C) | 190–200 |
Properties
- Core-shell structure: an acrylonitrile copolymer shell around a liquid low-boiling hydrocarbon core.
- On heating, the shell softens and becomes thermoplastic while the core vaporises and builds pressure, expanding the shell.
- Stable performance, does not stain the article, and does not affect cure or moulding speed.
- Suitable for both atmospheric and pressure foaming with uniform expansion and an ideal fine-cell structure.
Applications
- Slippers, shoe soles, insoles, subsea buoys, plastic wallcovering, floor leather, synthetic leather, thermal and acoustic insulation.
