POWDER FOR AUTOMOTIVE CARPET BACKING

RAPID AUTO
This is a polyethylene based free-flowing powder. The key characteristic of this powder is its low melting temperature. Low melting temperature helps to increase line speeds and lower energy costs.

All powders are manufactured from prime virgin grades of polymers manufactured by the major polymer producers. All the grades mentioned have been manufactured from polymers that meet the requirements to Indian Standard IS: 10146-1982 on "Polyethylene for its safe use in contact with foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals and drinking water"
