TSE Industries has published an article about the advantages of Millathane® millable polyurethanes in mining and other high-abrasion environments. Applications include conveyor belts, hoses, solid tires, bearings, bushings, seals, gaskets, and vibration isolators. Millathane® polyurethanes can also be applied as a tough, protective layer to conventional rubber surfaces for greater abrasion resistance and durability.
Hallstar’s polarity chart offers a visual guide for comparing plasticizers by polarity and molecular weight. This technical resource also outlines suggested applications, performance features, and compatible polymer systems—making it a valuable tool for formulators seeking optimal plasticizer solutions.
Hallstar is sharing a technical presentation about replacing phthalates with polymeric esters in vinyl foams. Researchers determined that high-quality vinyl foam can be produced using a polymeric ester plasticizer as either a partial replacement or a full replacement for DIDP, a monomeric phthalate plasticizer.
