Thermoplastic Elastomer

  • TPO is a new generation elastomer which exhibits rubber like properties and is easily processed on
    conventional thermoplastic equipment. The flexural modulus is normally in the 40,000 to 300,000 psi
    range. The key characteristic of this material is its low temperature, toughness, and value cost
    performance.

  • TPV is a vulacanizable elastomeric composition. The key characteristics of this material are the superior
    heat and oil resistance. This material is especially useful for gaskets, seals, o-rings, and diaphragms. The
    material can be processed on conventional extrusion, molding, and compression equipment.

  • TPE is a SBS, SEB, and SEPS based elastomer compound. The key characteristics are that it has a low
    flexural modulus, good color ability, good low temperature toughness, and very good cost value
    performance. Typical markets include flexible containers and toys. It can be processed with conventional
    plastic machinery.

  • PC/ABS Blend has good impact resistance associated with polycarbonate along with the dimensional and
    color stability of ABS.

  • PC/SMA Blend has the good impact strength of polycarbonate and the good chemical resistance of
    PC/SMA. This material also is characterized by high heat deflection temperatures, good thermal
    stability, good electrical properties, and dynamic fatigue strength.

  • PC/Nylon Blend has good impact properties and good all around toughness. The nylon phase enhances
    the material chemical resistance.

Nylon Compounds

  • Nucleated Nylon gives improved strength, rigidity, and faster processing cycles.

  • Very High Impact Nylons (6, 6.6, and 6 1/2) exhibit medium hardness, good flexibility, and high fold
    temperature impact resistance.

  • Lubricated Nylons using PT FE reduces the coefficient of friction and improves wear strength. Markets
    include gear and bushing applications.

  • Silicone Lubricated Nylon exhibits low surface tension and releases properties. Silicone improves
    electrical insulating properties, chemical resistance, and weather resistance.



Conductive Compounds

JV Plastics, Inc. offers a full line of conductive compounds. The low resistance to flow of electricity can produce
anti-static, semi-conductive, or conductive properties. The conductive compounds can be used to produce
electronic packaging, business machines, and hospital equipment.

  • Conductive HDPE

  • Conductive Polypropylene (Homopolymer Co-polymer)

  • Conductive Polystyrene

  • Conductive ABS

  • Conductive Polycarbonate

  • Conductive Polyurethane

Flame Retardant Compounds

Polymers can be modified by a number of flame retardants which hinder ignition or flame spread. The type of
flame retardant depends on the polymer and UL rating required. All of our flame retardant materials either
meet or exceed the UL 94 V-O and V-2 requirements. The flame retarded plastic will either self extinguish or
burn at a controlled rate.

  • Flame Retardant Polypropylene

  • Flame Retardant Nylon

  • Flame Retardant Polycarbonate

Reinforced Polymer Blends (Glass and Carbon Fibers)

The major advantage of reinforced polymers is it allows you to tailor the material for maximum performance at
minimum costs. Glass and carbon reinforcements can increase impact strength, improve fracture toughness,
and stiffness.

Glass reinforced polymers are noted for high strength to weight ratios, dimensional stability, resistance to heat,
and corrosion resistance. There is a broad selection of fiber types offering a wide range of cost performance
benefits. Glass is the most widely used reinforcement for plastic products. Glass fiber comes in different
lengths and surface treatments for different applications.

Carbon Fibers posses a range of stiffness unequaled by any other family of materials. These fibers posses the
electrical, thermal, and chemical properties of carbon. Substantial weight savings are possible when carbon
fiber is substituted for more conventional material.

  • Reinforced Polypropylene

  • Reinforced Nylons

  • Reinforced Polycarbonate

Mineral Filled Polymers

Mineral filled polymers usually are filled between 10 to 40 percent. Minerals produce high rigidity, and high
heat distortion temperatures. These materials also maintain their good tensile, compression, and impact
properties. The market includes automotive, appliances, and food packaging.

  • Mineral Filled Polypropylene

  • Mineral Filled Nylon

  • Mineral Filled Polycarbonate

Color and Additive Concentrates

Additive concentrates are used by resin manufacturers, compounders, and processors to change certain
properties and characteristics of the finished product. Concentrates are also used to enhance the processibility
of the polymer. The additives are added to the polymer before or during the process.

  • UV Stabilizers

  • Antioxidants

  • Antistats

  • Phosphorescent

  • White Concentrate based on TiO2

Resins

We offer selected grades of polypropylene, polyethylene, polycarbonate, and nylon.
