Key Features that make SureCel the Superior Selection | back |
Lower Gloss, Better Paint Adhesion, Better Printability | Gloss of Free Foam Sheet | | 60 º Gloss | 85 º Gloss | Traditional Foam process aid | 18 | 32 | Paraloid™ SureCel™ | 6 | 12 |
* Latex Paint Adhesion | | One Day Dry Testing | Two Day Dry Testing | Traditional Foam process aid | 3 - Easy to Remove | 5 – Slightly Difficult to Remove | Paraloid™ SureCel™ | 7 – Moderately Difficult to remove | 8 – Difficult to Remove | Paint = Acrylic latex primer from Masterchem Industries (Kilz Total One Primer) | | * Adhesion was tested by a knife peel test in which an X is cut into the paint through to the foam board and a knife is used to peel back the paint. Adhesion of paint is generally lower at early dry times, and this is seen in the table. |
Simple Substitution, Easy Processing - Most manufacturers adopting Paraloid™ SureCel™ find this new technology to be a straightforward substitution for their previous products on existing equipment. While extruder speed and cooling roll gaps may change, lubrication, die pressure, amp load and melt pressure can remain as set. The product’s excellent viscosity enables it to flow freely through most machinery.
Gain Flexibility at Lower Processing Temperature - Manufacturers may choose to adopt a new setting that adds flexibility: a lower processing temperature. The formulation of Paraloid™ SureCel™ allows cellular PVC processing at melt temperatures significantly lower than current normal temperatures. This lower temperature often reduces decomposition risk and yellowing potential.
