Lyondell Says Its Plan Is Superior to Reliance Bid (Update4)
March 8 (Bloomberg) — LyondellBasell Industries AF said it rejected a purchase offer by Reliance Industries Ltd. because it has a superior reorganization plan that would leave the chemical maker valued at about $15.2 billion.

Low Coefficient of Friction
Very High Impact Strength
Excellent Abrasion Resistance
Self Lubricating
Highly Resistant to Corrosives

Product Description
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), also known as high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) or high-performance polyethylene (HPPE), is a thermoplastic. It has extremely long chains, with molecular weight numbering in the millions, usually between 2 and 6 million. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made. It is highly resistant to corrosive chemicals, with exception of oxidizing acids. It has extremely low moisture absorption, has a very low coefficient of friction, is self-lubricating, and is highly resistant to abrasion (15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel). Its coefficient of friction is significantly lower than that of nylon and acetal, and is comparable to that of PTFE, sometimes none as the poor mansTeflon, but UHMWPE has better abrasion resistance than Teflon. It is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic

Monofilament Rod
Max Temp 500 F
Very Low Coefficient of Friction
Extremely Low Dielectric Constant
UV and Ozone Resistant

Product Description
PTFE also known as Teflon has excellent chemical, thermal, and electrical stability. It retains a high percentage of its useful properties from cryogenic to elevated temperatures -348 F to 500 F and has a very low coefficent of friction. It has the lowest critical surface enrgy of all plastics, which makes it an excellent water and oil repellent for non-stick and mold release. PTFE has an extremely low dielectric constant and dissipation factor. Excellent resistance to UV, and Ozone. Typical applications include electronic bobbins, piping material for high temperature use, spring actuated seals, gaskets, packing and valve seats.

Polyester Mesh 300 Micron Opening 143 Micron Thread Diameter 46 Percent Open Area 12″ x 6″

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 06:07:43 +0000

Gamma Steriizable
Good Solvent Resistance
Good UV Resistance
Mesh Opening Size 300 microns
Precise Opening Size

Product Description
Polyester Screen cloth: Unaffected by most solvents, Polyester PETP (Polyester, Polyethylene Terephthalate) has good resistance to strong acids at room temperature and resists weak acids and alkalies even at high temperatures; strong alkalies can weaken it. UV resistance is good, but it tends toward a slight loss of tensile strength with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Lacks good hydrolysis resistance, but retention of properties after gamma radiation exposure is good. Deformation under low stress is minimal, but it can deform under high stress.
