TOPAS Rodstock
After some modifications to our Killion line we are now producing 8007 & 5013 rodstock at 1.5" and 1.75" diameters. TOPAS 6013 is now available in 1.5" diameter.

Five-Layer Cast Film & Sheet Pilot Line Avilable for Trials
(Sep 1, 2008)
FLORENCE, KY -- TOPAS Advanced Polymers' pilot cast line is now available on a contract basis for development and manufacturing activities. From advanced technical films to medical thermoforming to food packaging applications, the TOPAS five-layer pilot line is a proven tool for rapid product development and small-scale plastics production. Recent clients have used the TOPAS line for materials as diverse as biopolymers, elastomers, and styrenic sheet. TOPAS Advanced Polymers has also run a wide range of materials, from commodity (PE and PP) to engineering (polyesters, nylons, EVOH, liquid crystal polymers...). Samples can be made from as little as 15 lbs. (7 kg). The primary line provides up to five layers using three Killion extruders. Film thicknesses range from 1 mil to 40 mil (25-1016 micron) with the Cloeren feedblock and die providing widths up to 12" (300 mm). TOPAS Advanced Polymers manufactures and markets TOPAS® COC (cyclic olefin copolymer). TOPAS® COC is an amorphous polymer product line which, in addition to strength, stiffness, chemical and heat resistance and excellent dimensional stability, delivers high clarity, high moisture barrier and low moisture absorption. Approved for foodcontact applications, TOPAS resins are used in thermoformed packaging, shrink films and labels, medical devices, injection-molded precision optics, medical and laboratory containers, optical films, microfluidics, electronics and more. |
TOPAS
(R) Advanced Polymers, Inc offers two pilot lines to support cast
film and sheet applications. Although the company's primary business is the development of TOPAS (cyclic olefin copolymer), time can be devoted to non-TOPAS applications.
Film development can be costly when performed on production scale equipment. This is not only a monetary concern as most larger extrusion lines have a schedule to keep as well. This can stall film research and further delay commercialization of new ideas. The TOPAS film extrusion lab offers a way to work on cast films of polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene, PET, PETg, and more with up to 5 layer formulations including 3 inputs. Also, our 1.0" monolayer Killion can be made available within a few days notice for quick and dirty R&D. Visit the Equipment section for more details on what we have to offer.
Take advantage of over 10 years experience running many different structures and materials. Applications have ranged from twist wrap to sealant films, flexible packaging to rigid thermoforming, and many more. After identifying your needs, we can typically quote a project within 3 business days. Our coextrusion line can be made available within 3 weeks in most cases. As mentioned the monolayer line can be scheduled even faster.
