Cellulose propionate
Cellulose propionate (CAS: 9004-48-2) is a versatile cellulose ester known for its excellent toughness and clarity. It is a thermoplastic polymer containing approximately 7 wt.% plasticizer. Cellulose propionate finds application as a material for molded parts, films, and coatings due to its desirable physical properties, including good impact resistance and a flow temperature of 347°F. Tech Serve Solutions supplies this polymer for various industrial and research applications.
Molded Plastic Components
Cellulose propionate's high impact strength (203 J/m Izod) and good hardness (Rockwell R 95) make it suitable for manufacturing durable molded parts for various industries. Its thermoplastic nature allows for efficient processing in molding applications.
Protective Films and Coatings
The clarity and toughness of cellulose propionate lend themselves to applications in protective films and coatings. It can provide a robust barrier against environmental factors while maintaining optical transparency.
Material Science Research
As a modified natural polymer, cellulose propionate is utilized in material science research to explore new polymer blends, composites, and material properties. Its well-defined characteristics aid in reproducible experimental outcomes.
