New Products Developed by KEP
1) Extra Strong Polyacetal Resin

  • Improved the strength of POM thereby improved the physical properties such as heat-resistance, long-term dimensional stability, fatigue- resistance and creep-resistance.

  • Used for speedometer frames, valve housing, gears and rollers as substitute material for metal.

  • Major products : KEPITAL FG2025, MF3020, FB2025, FT2020

  • 2) Impact-Resistant Polyacetal Resin

  • Because POM is a high crystalline resin, it is very strong and hard, but at the same time, brittle and inflexible. By adding various elastomers to the standard grade a new alloy product was obtained which is softer and impact-resistant.

  • Main areas of utilization include clips, switch components.The softer property also makes it optimal for making gears that generateless noise.

  • Major products : KEPITAL FU1020, FU2020, TE-24 and others.

  • 3) Wear-Resistant Polyacetal Resin

  • Traditionally POM has been used to make moving parts because of its self-lubricative property. the same time, brittle and inflexible. By adding various elastomers to the standard grade a new alloy product was obtained which is softer and impact-resistant.

  • Main areas of utilization include clips, switch components. The softer property also makes it optimal for making gears that generateless noise.

  • Major products : KEPITAL FU1020, FU2020, TE-24 and others.

  • 4) Weather-Resistant Polyacetal Resin

  • By adding UV stabillizer and UV spectrophotometer, a high degree of stability againstUV degradation aging is attained and prevents properties from altering over time.

  • Used for automobile interior and exterior parts and building materials

  • Major products : F20-52, F20-52U, F20-51, GD-52 and others

  • 5) Anti-Static and Conductive Resin

  • By adding conductive carbonblack or anti-static agent to the resin, the surface electrical resistance of molded goods are reduced and static electricity is controlled.
  • Used to make electrical parts that could become contaminated by collecting dust on the surface or for purposes of reducing electro-static noise.
  • Major products : FV-30, FV-40, F30-63, ET-20S and others.
