POLYTUF® 1229

A highly engineered LDPE/ceramic/nanoceramic composite for abrasion resistance and surface durability


FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • High performance additive for maximizing surface abrasion resistance (Taber) and film toughness
  • Fortified with two types of hard, inert ceramic particles
  • Low density polyethylene provides superior surface toughness, durability and mar resistance
  • Ideal for walking surfaces
  • PTFE-free alternative to Polyfluo 900
  • Easy to disperse fine powder that can be incorporated with high speed mixing

COMPOSITION

Ceramic modified polyethylene
