Telene DCPD Polymer Compound

Telene DCPD from Zeon Chemical is a polymer compound processed using Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) equipment that gives manufacturers a fast, efficient, environmentally sensible way to develop a series of small- to medium-sized parts requiring high level properties.

• For use in a variety of applications, such as body panels in agricultural and earth moving equipment, and trucks and buses
• Provides good impact properties to withstand rough service
• Material characteristics allow aesthetically appealing body style and shape on many machines
• Composition based on extra-high purity dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) – mixed with other norbornene monomers – that reacts via a Ring Opening Metatheseis Polymerization
• Allows design freedom in creating highly dimensional 3D parts with range of wall thicknesses
• Creates quality parts that are easily painted and offer good adhesion capabilities
• Requires low start-up investments in aluminum molds and production equipment
• Forms lightweight, impact-resistant parts with good stiffness, even at -40 C
• Resistant to acids and alkaline environments
• Offers button-to-button processing, usually in as little as four to six minutes
• Features low energy balance that is easily disposed of without creating heavy metals, ashes or dangerous gases
