HYTAC® B1X is the world's number one choice in plug assist material due to unique properties of toughness and durability combined with easy machining that results in no dust during manufacture.
This thermoplastic syntactic foam resists chips, dings and breakage that result from even the most abusive production conditions.
HYTAC® B1X may be machined at up to 3x the speed of typical syntactic foams forming large, non-abrasive chips.
In use, this tough plug assist material reduces downtime due to damaged plugs. Less downtime reduces overall costs and yields more consistent quality from the production line.
HYTAC® B1X may be used on a wide variety of sheet-fed, rotary or in-line machines. It is widely used with PET, APET, CPET, HIPS, LDPE, HDPE, PLA, PP, Rigid PVC and PS.
