THERMOPEPS
POLYSTYRENE/POLYETHYLENE BLEND
Thermopeps is produced in our Chelmsford plant using special blends of materials to enhance performance characteristics, whilst retaining the ease of processing.
Thermopeps extruded sheets and reels have the benefit of improved impact and low temperature characteristics. These qualities may be required in applications such as chilled or aggressive impact applications.
The final choice of a particular blend of Thermopeps will be dependant on the extremity of the process or application. Our sales and technical teams can offer assistance with this choice.
As with all Alcan Thermoplastics products Thermopeps is available with matt or gloss surface finishes and or corona treatment dependent on application.
Alcan Thermoplastics and its sister companies within Alcan Composites are all ISO 9001/2000 accredited companies offering the complete range of high quality display, packaging and fabrication products, along with know how, innovation and technical backup.
