TPX Film

TPX has remarkable combination of transparency and resistance to heat and chemicals. It also has unique acoustical properties. Used in wide variety of applications including speaker cones, gas separating membranes, release films and carrier films for ceramic slurry. TPX° DX845 resin.

Applications for TPX Film:

• Speaker Cones

• Gas separating membranes

• Release films

• Carrier for ceramic slurry

• Antennas

• Medical instrument cover

• Ultrasonic imaging equip

Advantages for TPX Film:

• Low moisture absorption

• Exceptional electrical prop

• Good chemical resistance

• High heat resistance

• Excellent acoustical prop

• Transparency

• Resin FDA compliant

• Lowest specific of gravity of any

know thermoplastic

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Adhesive Bonding: TPX film can be bonded using LOCTITE© brands Prism 401 and Prism 405 cyanoacrylate adhesives or BONDiT® B45 TH epoxy system.

Welding: TPX film can be ultrasonically welded using Branson Model 8700 at 1500 watts. Welding time is 45 seconds, holding time is 1 second, pressure is 85 psi using silver booster and a mesh shape horn (female type). It is possible to ultrasonically weld TPX film to itself using a primer of cyclohexane in combination with epoxy and urethane.

Thermoforming: Forming temperatures range between 248°F and 428°F. The forming temperature will depend on thickness of sheet and design of final products. Film can be form on newer conventional vacuum-forming equipment. Thicker film should be preheated for 2-3 minutes at 392°F, and then formed.

Permeability To Gases: Moisture permeability and gas permeability values of TPX film are higher than those of other materials.

Light Transmittance: Transparent grades of TPX film are colorless and have visible light transmission of 90% which is comparable to that of polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate
