Plastics and elastomers for Optics

TPX™ RT18 (RT18XB) by Mitsui Chemicals is a high modulus, low density, heat resistant polymethylpentene. It boasts superior releasability and is one of the lightest polymer materials among thermoplastic plastics. Possesses excellent transparency equivalent to glass and acrylic as well as high melting point and can be used at high temperature. Offers excellent chemical & steam resistance and high durability against acid, alkali and alcohol. Recommended for injection molding and is also applicable for extrusion processing by T-Die casting, profile, mandrel, pipe and fiber spinning. Exhibits gas permeability, low refractive index, low dielectric property and high insulation properties equivalent to fluororesin. Possible applications include food containers, release film for FPC, rubber hoses and release paper for synthetic leather. It is also suitable for animal cage, resin modification, LED mold, experimental apparatuses and hollow fiber. TPX™ RT18 (RT18XB) is certified for food packaging materials by Japan Hygienic Olefin and Styrene Plastics Association, United States Code of Federal Regulations Title 21 and EU Regulation (EU) 10/2011.
