Traditionally, many connectors of this type are produced using liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) formulated with carbon fiber.    Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.

Here, continuous fibers, such as glass or carbon, are pulled through a thermoset resin bath, such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester, and then formed into a desired shape using a die. Carbon fiber pultrusions are exceptionally lighter than metal and other materials.

GLS TPE - Closurelogic Cap Liner - English CLOSURELOGIC GMBH A L U M I N U M C A P L I N E R • Compliance with food contact regulations • Seals to glass, PET and aluminum bottles • Excellent pressure retention for carbonated beverages • Provided a low migration TPE with outstanding organoleptic properties • Enabled processing at temperatures 20°C lower than comparative materials GLS™ Thermoplastic Elastomer KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

In addition to these high-performance characteristics, this healthcare portfolio offers a reduced carbon footprint over the product life cycle because PK production emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon.

In 2014, it was spun off from Closure Systems International (CSI), and currently produces over three billion aluminum closures annually in 28 and 30 millimeter diameters suitable for any type of still, carbonated or alcoholic beverage packaged in glass, PET or aluminum bottles. Maintaining a seal for carbonated water with high internal pressure can be difficult and closurelogic caps compression molded with GLS TPE liners are known to have excellent pressure retention.

Long Carbon Fiber Reinforcement reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs Carbon Fiber

While PK and PA are both semi- crystalline and contain an abundance of carbon and oxygen, polyketone lacks the nitrogen present in the amide bond of the nylon backbone. In addition, PK can improve the sustainability of a product through a lower carbon footprint because the production of the resin emits up to 61 percent less carbon dioxide (CO₂) than nylon.
