Design and processing

BELLAND^®Polymer is an alkaline-soluble thermoplastic which can be processed with all commonly used processing methods. BELLAND^®Polymers are water-resistant. They can be however – and this is their unusual characteristic – be dissolved in aqueous alkaline solutions if necessary. This combination of characteristics opens up an extremely wide range of applications. There are no limits to the potential for creative and innovative uses.

Consider just a few examples:

Fibres

Fine fibres which are soluble in aqueous alkaline solutions e.g. for temporary coating of other plastic fibres or as soluble fabric or non-wovens
 
 

Films

Hard or soft films e.g. for theromoformed products, for soluble labels or as a temporary carrier material

Foams

Soluble foam e.g. for lost core applications, coil cores, placeholders which are removed later by dissolution, broad design latitude – freedom

 

Coatings

Dissolved polymer for temporary coating e.g. as surface protection for high quality optical lenses or tarnish protection for metal surfaces, production of structured surfaces possible by various printing processes

Lost Cores

Production of irregular coil cores e.g. as bobbin cores or placeholders
