Looking for an innovative combination of hardness, excellent flexibility, and high adhesion properties in your thermoplastic powder? Look no further. IFS Coatings' Puroplaz PE16 has set a new standard in the industry for tough, versatile thermoplastic powder.

Puroplaz PE16 is a thermoplastic modified polyolefin powder coating that excels in areas where both durability and flexibility are required. It boasts an outstanding Shore D Hardness of 60, a top-tier gravelometer performance, and remarkable impact and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for a wide variety of demanding applications.

A Unique Balance of Hardness and Flexibility

The standout feature of Puroplaz PE16 is its rare ability to combine exceptional hardness with flexibility—two attributes that are often considered mutually exclusive in traditional coatings. As Tim Brinner, Vice President of Thermoplastics at IFS Coatings, explains, “This new formula overcomes the usual trade-off between hardness and flexibility, making it perfect for post-formed products, like fence wire weaving, that also require high abrasion resistance. It can even replace nylon coatings in certain applications.”

This balance makes Puroplaz PE16 ideal for industries such as agriculture, automotive, and construction, where coatings are exposed to extreme wear and tear. Its durable properties are complemented by a lower gloss finish, which is often preferred in many industrial and outdoor applications.

Versatile Applications for Industry

Puroplaz PE16’s robust technical performance means it can be used across a wide array of applications, including:

• Woven wire fences
• Fence poles
• Baskets
• Battery boxes
• Agricultural implements
• Automotive springs
• Water pipes and fittings
• Petroleum pipes and fittings
• Foot traffic areas

Brinner highlights, “This product really performs. It meets the needs of industries that require durability and aesthetics, offering a lower gloss finish that many applications demand.”

Safe, Sustainable, and Available in Multiple Grades

Another key feature of Puroplaz PE16 is that it is free from PVC, phthalates, and BPA, aligning with industry standards for safe and sustainable materials. Available in both spray and dip-grade formulations, the product can be tailored to a range of coating methods.

Part of a Comprehensive Range

Puroplaz PE16 joins the broader Puroplaz thermoplastic product line from IFS Coatings, which includes:

• PE15 for high slip and abrasion resistance
• PE20 and PE20 Texture known for both technical performance and aesthetic appeal
• PE21, which offers high abrasion, scratch, and UV resistance
• PE40, providing superior chemical and corrosion resistance

IFS Coatings continues to lead the way in providing advanced thermoplastic solutions for industries that demand high performance and sustainability.
