| Description: The Akulon portfolio is engineered for optimum performance to suit different processing techniques and end use markets. Unfilled Extrusion Resins
Akulon resins are available with melt viscosities to suit all extrusion processes: barrier and coating film, tube and hose, monofilament, stock shapes. Akulon resins are characterized by: - consistent quality
- high purity
- for film applications, low gel contents.
Molding Resins
Suited to all engineering demands: - Unfilled low and medium viscosity grades
- Toughened unfilled grades
- Glass reinforced from 20-45% filled
- Low warpage reinforced grades
- Flame retardant; UL V0 rated and glow wire types
- Halogen free FR grades
- Blow moldable materials
- Laser markable resins
