When I founded Polymer
Technologies in the 1980's, I could only hope to work with other
businesses and individuals such as you. Decades later, I find
myself in great company, partnering to produce some of the most dynamic,
important mechanisms and safe transport of our time. I thank each
and every one of you for your ongoing support and dedication to our
business. Together, moving forward, we will continue to pave the
road of innovation within our industries and devise the greatest
solutions to the most complex problems.

State-of-the-Art Manufacturing: The Perforating Press
|
Having
a perforating press in our roster of machinery allows us to perform
unrivaled installation of our insulation parts ensuring completed
projects achieve superior results. This large, high-performance
piece of equipment easily punctures our line of foams with or without
facing/backing. Delivering speeds up to 10 strokes per minute,
tools may be acquired to provide a variety of patterns, with 1/8" holes
on 2" patterns available currently. The perforating process aids
in insulation installation and helps eliminate the possibility of air
being trapped behind the insulation.

 Last December, for the 5th year in a row, Polymer Technologies participated in the POWER-GEN International
conference and exhibit. Showcasing our dynamic line of acoustical
and thermal composites, our POLYDAMP ® line of noise absorbers, sound
barriers, vibration damping, gasketing, and thermal materials were a
huge hit! Along with more than 1,200 other companies, we converged
on Orlando, FL. and set a precedent for the future of power
engineering. We are looking forward to Power-Gen 2013!
Will we see you on the road soon?

POLYFORM© Molded Products:
Solving Problems
Our POLYFORM© Molded Products are
engineered and manufactured specifically for energy management,
combining the best qualities in noise absorption, transmission loss,
damping, isolation, and thermal insulation-all in one product!
Fire Fighting Technology
Couldn't take the heat but couldn't get out of the kitchen either.
Problem:
Firemen use a thermal imaging camera that needed a longer operational cycle in extreme conditions.
Solution:Two-piece POLYFORM© component increased shock and thermal resistance, extending operational life five to six minutes.
Result:
Firemen can more safely see and plan how to fight a fire, helping save
lives while protecting their own.Using PHDM-IS High Density
Molded-Integral Skin, we aid America's heroes in saving lives and
valuable property. PHDM-IS performs to its full potential when
used as a shock absorber in hand-held equipment, in-cab transmission
covers and armrests. Some key features of PHDM-IS are:
- Sound attenuation, isolation, thermal control and sealing
- 10-20 lb/ft3 self-skinning flexible foam
- Abrasion resistant, high tear strength and low water absorption properties
Contact us today to find out how we can solve your noise, thermal or vibration problem.

Spotlight On: Fire Retardant and Burn Resistant Films
Polymer
Technologies offers many solutions for your thermal film demands.
We manufacture heat shields, foil facings and polymers for high
temperature engine applications. These materials can be applied
directly to surfaces or used in combination with our high temperature
foams.
Our Polytech® Heat Shield HS-0035-ALVA3 is
an aluminum, foil-faced fiberglass fabric and acrylic
pressure-sensitive adhesive composite designed to reflect radiant heat
while offering excellent protection to high heat exposure. This
thermal insulation shield is commonly used for gas tanks and is best
used for areas exposed to extreme heat from exhaust pipes, turbos, and
other heat generating systems.
Another popular shield option is our Polytech® Heat Shield AF-0020.
This shield is also aluminum, foil-faced fabric that functions as a
thermal reflective insulation. It offers excellent protection for
metal and plastic surfaces exposed to high heat and retains good
residual strength after exposure to flame. It is often used as a
protective high-temperature facing on Melamine and other foams.
POLYDAMP® Protective Fabric H3304
is part of our family of Mass Fabrics commonly used for aircraft
applications, but is also an integral part of sole-sourced UL94 V-0
insulation package developed for the HMMWV A lightweight
fiberglass fabric coated with an advanced fire-retardant polymer
coating, H3304 is typically used in combination with
POLYDAMP® Hydrophobic and Standard Melamine Foams (PHM and PMF) and
Polytech Low Flame and Smoke closed cell foam (PLFS-CC). This
material offers extreme resistance to flame propagation and burn through
while increasing acoustical insulation performance.
The Polytech® Reinforced Aluminum Foil Facing (RAF)
is reinforced with glass fiber and thermally fused to an aluminized
backing. Used on a variety of foams, this facing is highly stable
in severe environments and extremely flame resistant.
Polytech® Reinforced Vinyl Facing
(XRV) is a strong, abrasion-resistant vinyl material used as a
protective barrier for foams. XRV is an attractive film often
chosen for decorative purposes and when combined with PHM, PMF and
PLFS-CC, meets UL94 V-0 requirements. XRV comes in black, green,
and grey. This reinforced facing is micro porous which enhances
its acoustical absorption properties.
A Scrim reinforced and metalized Polyetheretherketone film, the POLYDAMP® ® RMEKL5 Covering Film
is fire retardant with a heat activated adhesive. Lightweight and
tear resistant, this film is commonly used with aircraft thermal
acoustic insulation and is qualified under Boeing Material
Specifications.
The POLYDAMP® ® KL5
is delustered PEKK film with flame retardant, heat activated adhesive
for use with our POLYDAMP® Hydrophobic Melamine Foam. Used for
aircraft thermal acoustic insulation, POLYDAMP® KL5 is Boeing approved
and extremely lightweight to assist in reducing operating costs.
