Cri-Tech, Inc. products

Flexible, fluoroplastic-based compounds such as Cri-plastMP F-TPE, F-TPV, and F-TPX are advanced thermoplastic materials offering diverse industrial applications. These melt-processable compounds are designed for standard thermoplastics processing methods, including extrusion and injection molding. The F-TPV variant is particularly suitable for applications requiring a 220°C melt processing temperature and is widely used across automotive, wire & cable, and chemical industries. Meanwhile, the e-beam crosslinkable F-TPX compounds are fluorinated thermoplastic elastomers developed to withstand stringent requirements in similar sectors. With the ability to tailor custom solutions beyond standard offerings, Cri-Tech addresses specific needs in wire protection, fuel systems, chemical transfer, and various consumer goods. The compounds are engineered to provide durability, flexibility, and resistance to harsh chemical environments.

Cri-Line® FKM compounds are advanced fluoroelastomer materials developed by Cri-Tech, offering a versatile range for various industrial applications. These compounds feature fluorine content from 65% to 71%, utilizing either bisphenol or peroxide cure systems, catering to specific requirements such as base resistance (BRE) and low temperature flexibility. Cri-Tech's formulation technology allows for a spectrum of standard colors and custom color matching, ensuring compatibility with diverse needs. The compounds are tailored to support applications requiring complex geometries with enhanced hot tear resistance. For high chemical resistance demands, intermediate and high fluorine terpolymers serve fuel and chemical processing applications, including methanol-containing fuels. Additionally, specialized compounds offer solutions for cost efficiency, ultimate compression set resistance, and niche applications like injection molding with optimized properties such as low viscosity, shrinkage control, and rubber-to-metal bonding. Cri-Tech also provides TFEP compounds, which excel in resisting hot water, steam, and chemical exposures.
