Material Notes:
HYTAC-C1R is easily machined without the dust typically associated with epoxy syntactic foam. This new copolymer base has been optimized for both the machine shop and the thermoforming process.Excellent surface characteristics are obtained straight from machining and may be easily modified with sandpaper to carry more or less material into the mold as needed. It may be polished to a very smooth surface when necessary for working with transparent plastics.HYTAC-C1R has these outstanding attributes: 3 – 4X the toughness of epoxy-based syntactic foamGood machinabilitySuperior edge definition and detailVery low thermal conductivityExcellent material distribution Variety of Shapes and Sizes: The material is provided in standard sized rods or sheets, but may be custom molded to meet the specific needs. Applications: HYTAC-C1R is the first material to combine the durability of a thermoplastic syntactic with the dust free, easy machining and polishing capability of a copolymer syntactic foam. Excellent surface characteristics optimize material distribution with most plastics. Recommended for use with APET, CPET, HIPS, PETG, PLA, PP, PVC and RPET.
