"KAP-0502"

"KAP-0502"

"KAP-0502"

(OP)
I have been tasked with finding an equivalent to this material.

Originally it was supplied to us by PolyOne, then M A Hanna... then we stopped using it.

Apparently P1 assimilated MA Hanna and now they call themselves Excel.   A quick phone-call netted me "call back after the holiday please."

Ok so I know from the MSDS it consists of hydrotreated heavy naphthenic petrol distillates....  Zinc sterate,  "SILANE, TRIS(2-METHOXYETHOXY)VINYL",  carbon black, calcium oxide, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and lead oxide.


First of all what the hell is this stuff?!  :D   I'm assuming some kind of polymer compound... according to what I pieced together we ran this years ago... hand nothing but issues with it now a customer wants us to "try again."


*sigh*  I miss plastics.   Gimme a machine full of flaming delrin any day.   :P

RE: "KAP-0502"

Doesn't sound like a polymer at all- no repeating units. Its a pigment.

Materials Engineering Other or Paint/coatings forums would be better for this post.  

RE: "KAP-0502"

Apparently I am missing a piece of info.

It is listed as "solid 2" wide .258" thick continuous ribbon of material,  gray in color" in the MSDS...  and our tracking sheets list KAP as a choice for material.

Looking at the EPDM sheets I notice they don't list the fact that EPDM Rubber has... EPDM rubber in it!   It seems they just list the nasty stuff.

Sooo...   I have to backtrack further and figure out what the base rubber is because it is not listed.
