Interstate Advanced Materials supplies versatile performance solutions to the composites and materials industry, including Ultem® sheet. Ultem® offers a unique combination of high dielectric strength and exceptional resistance to creep, radiation, and flame. It retains its strength and resists stress cracking when exposed to automotive and aircraft fluids, acids, alcohols, aliphatic carbonate, and weak aqueous solutions. Ultem®'s excellent resistances and ability to continuously operate at elevated temperatures make it a widely utilized material for aerospace, automotive, and electrical components, including automotive lamp sockets, fiber optics, speaker cones, lighting brackets, sound dampening, and more.

Nyloil® self-lubricating cast nylon is a long-lasting wear solution for rollers, bearings, wear pads, and other metal replacement parts in manufacturing and processing machinery. Nyloil® features an internal lubricant that enhances its wear properties and has a 25% lower coefficient of friction compared to standard cast and extruded nylon grades. Its lubricant resists spinning-out, drying out, or draining, even under harsh conditions. Nyloil® excels in applications where lubrication is challenging or impractical.

Tivar® DrySlide anti-static sheet incorporates a modified built-in lubricant that ensures quieter and smoother sliding performance, eliminating the need for external lubricants such as sprays and waxes. With a lower coefficient of friction than standard UHMW sheet, Tivar® DrySlide provides slip-stick reduction and is perfect for chute liners and conveyors. Packages and products will effortlessly slide across its surface without sticking or getting jammed by grit, dirt, or static buildup. The material is UV stabilized, offering protection against degradation of its physical properties. Tivar® DrySlide excels in dusty and humid conditions and withstands repeated impacts, abrasion, and corrosion.

Interstate Advanced Materials looks forward to partnering with composites and materials experts, engineers, and businesses in preparation for CAMX 2024 to address current industry challenges.
