Polyurethanes expertise enhances coatings
World-leading surface protection specialist Tip Top Industrie has recently extended its range of heavy duty industrial coating solutions with help from experts at Huntsman Polyurethanes.
The market for hybrid glass/polycarbonate lamination is growing rapidly as it is increasingly used in a diverse number of applications where intrinsic strength combined with transparency is critical.
These applications include glazing for security vehicles, prisons, hospitals, embassies, computer centres and sensitive research centres.
Bonding together different materials such as glass, polycarbonate and other plastics, can prove a significant design challenge for manufacturers of glass laminates.
Krystalflex themoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films overcome this issue and also provide highly effective load transfer between the different sheets.
Johan Van Tongelen, Commercial Director Europe, Africa, Middle East and Indian Sub-continent, said: "By bringing the sales and technical support in-house, we hope to be able to steer new initiatives, be more responsive to our customer's needs and further enhance the performance capabilities of Huntsman's Krystalflex film range".
