Infinity unveils new thermoplastic alloy in Asia

February 18, 2016 - United States Of America

Infinity LTL Engineered Compounds, a global manufacturer of custom compounded engineered thermoplastics, is set to launch the Surlyn Reflection Series brand of thermoplastic alloy technology in the Asia-Pacific region.

The products will be produced at the company’s facility in Suzhou, China. The Surlyn Reflection Series resins enable the production of tough and durable plastic components with a class A finish. Surlyn Reflection Series resins contain a patented alloy of DuPont Surlyn and nylon 6 resins only available through Infinity LTL. The products provide superior appearance properties, chemical resistance, excellent weatherability and scratch and mar resistance to ensure the critical OEM or designer-specified appearance is achieved, according to a press release.

With applications in markets such as power sports (including snowmobiles, ATVs, golf carts, jet skis and other marine equipment), automotive and transportation, building and construction, agriculture, lawn and garden, the Surlyn Reflection Series enables the production of attractive, weatherable components at a lower cost than competing technologies. The elimination of paint and the complete recyclability of Surlyn Reflection Series alloys enable manufacturers to produce attractive, weatherable parts with reduced environmental impact.

Don Hone, business manager for Infinity LTL said, “Surlyn Reflection Series resins are unique in that they provide exceptional durability and low temperature impact strength while imparting outstanding appearance characteristics such as colour brilliance, surface gloss and distinction of image. With the availability of local supply, Surlyn Reflection Series resins now are a superior choice for plastics processors in the Asia-Pacific region.” (GK)
