Applications
Here at Townsend Chemicals we make grades for a whole range of exciting and diverse applications for the plastic manufacturer.
Our dedicated team of chemists and technicians, combined with a quality approach through documented procedures and processes ensures consistent and reliable grades of polyester polyols, polymeric plasticisers, urethane adducts and thermoplastic polyurethanes. We are proud to offer the following range of product applications and this is just a short list to illustrate some of the current applications. The sky is the limit to the total number of applications possible! We are very happy to discuss with you your next plastic design project.
RE-PLAS– Polymeric Plasticisers
High molecular weight Polymeric Plasticisers are long chain polyester plasticisers that provide high extraction resistance, good efficiency, solvent resistance, oil resistance, excellent physical properties, flexibility and have excellent exterior durability.
These below items are perfect for all your PVC compound applications where permanence is important:
- PVC conveyor belts
- PVC fabric coatings
- PVC film (food wrap)
- PVC refrigerator gaskets
- PVC hose / tube
- And more!
RE-POL- Polyester Polyols
A range of saturated Polyester Polyols that are high molecular weight hydroxyl terminated polyester polyols.Cross-linked with polyisocyanates, the finished polyurethane product products are very tough, abrasion resistant materials. Townsend Chemicals can tailor make it to your specification in a range of physical forms and molecular weights for the following applications:
- Adhesives
- Flexible foam
- Castable elastomers e.g. printing rollers
- Surface polyurethane coatings
- Microcellular shoe systems
- Thermoplastic polyurethanes
- Moisture cured polyurethanes
- PIR foam
- Surfboard blank foam
RE-FLEX – Thermoplastic Polyurethanes
Thermoplastic Polyurethanes is a range of linear polyester and polyether based TPU that shows superior abrasion resistance, hydrolytic stability, high tensile strength and a hardness range of 65A-74D. Durable yet flexible in all the right places. Townsend Chemicals can make it to your specification. They are processed by injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding. Applications include the following
- Mining screens
- Wheels and castors
- Shoe components
- Cable covering
- Hose / tubing
- Livestock ear tags
- Pool cleaning components
- Industrial mining, irrigation hose and duct
- Auto and commercial cables
- Cattle ear tags
- Tactile ground surface indicators
- Leg rope
- Gaskets
RE-ADD – Urethane Adducts
Urethane adducts are hydroxyl terminated addition products of polyester polyols and isocyanates. Developed for the production of solvent based adhesives, where adhesion to a number of substrates is required. When dissolved in suitable solvents they produce solutions capable of acting as adhesives and surface coating systems. Townsend Chemicals can tailor make it for these applications
- Adhesives for footwear, textiles packages and automotive
- Surface coatings
- Fabric coatings for tarpaulins, tents, protective clothing and ground sheets
They can also be tailor made for your specification for the following
- Bond strength
- Heat resistance
- Tack time
- UV stability
- Viscosity
