Modification, with emphasis on PVC granules modified with Levapren to provide softness together with improved heat stability and color stability compared to standard products. And extruded profiles in Levapren PXL with exceptional flow, superior green strength and increased creep resistance. Green, which highlights energy cables with halogen-free flame retardant Levapren sheathing for use in wind turbine nacelles, helps to protect large investments against the damage caused by fire.
Sports & leisure shows a diving suit incorporating Baypren chroroprene rubber (CR) and Levapren ethylene-vinyl acetate synthetic rubber (EVM) foam that keeps the body warm even in ice-cold water and is resistant to salt water and UV rays. And Alethic body protection pads in Levapren that provide an ideal mix of cushioning and grip, protection and stability. Also on this show will be the driving belt of an eBike, made with Therban and offering excellent elasticity and durability without maintenance or greasing.
