Tenite Butyrate 264A3720013 Clear, Trsp

Application/Uses
  • Toys/Sporting goods
Product Description
Tenite cellulosic plastics are noted for their excellent balance of properties - toughness, hardness, strength, surface gloss, clarity, and a warm feel. The mechanical properties of Tenite cellulosic plastics differ with plasticizer levels. Lower plasticizer content yields a harder surface, higher heat resistance, greater rigidity, higher tensile strength, and better dimensional stability. Higher plasticizer content increases impact strength. Tenite cellulosic plastics are available in natural, clear, selected ambers, or smoke transparents and black translucent. Color concentrates are available in let-down ratios from 10:1 to 40:1. Tenite Cellulose Acetate Butyrate 264-13 has a plasticizer level of 13%. It meets FDA requirements for certain food-contact applications when supplied in specific FDA color numbers.
