From the president:
 It was during the summer
month of July, 1945, when Joseph C. Carbone opened up what was then
known as the “Modern Glass” Company. A small, obscure company located
in a garage behind a two-family home on the corner of State Street
and Howard Avenue in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
That was 60-years ago this month and with three family ownership generations
later, “Modern Plastics” has grown into one of the premier high-performance
plastics stock shapes distributors in the world.
In the coming months, Modern Plastics will unveil a “first” in plastics
distribution which will expand our product offerings and present our
customers with an extraordinary new means of purchasing high-performance
plastic polymers with all of the traditional Modern Plastics value-added
services.
Understanding and reacting to customer needs, requests and requirements
is something that Modern Plastics takes very seriously and is able
to respond to very quickly. In fact, our business model has been built
around this very principle.
If you're a new customer or one that's been with us for many years,
please let us know how we can continue to provide you with improved
services, better product offerings, or just a simple suggestion on
how we can make it easier for you to procure the products you need
as painlessly as possible!
In fact, we'd like to hear from you so much on this issue, that we're
going to give a way a FREE Garmin GPS 2620 Street Pilot ($1,200 Retail
Value) system for your automobile to the single improvement idea and
suggestion that Modern Plastics implements on a Corporate basis.
Simply click here to enter your name and suggestion (and view
contest rules) and we'll announce the sole winner in our September
2005 issue of this very newsletter. |

• Ketron® PEEK-HPV
• Celazole® PBI
• Acetron® GP
• IntePro® Storm Protection Panels |
 Modern
Plastics offers the Ketron® PEEK family of materials which is based
on polyetheretherketone resin. This semi-crystalline advanced material
exhibits a unique combination of high mechanical properties, temperature
resistance and excellent chemical resistance, making it the most popular
advanced plastics material.
Ketron® PEEK-HPV (PEEK+CF+PTFE+graphite) (black)
The addition of carbon fibers, PTFE and graphite to virgin PEEK results
in a Ketron®
PEEK "Bearing Grade". Its excellent tribological properties (low
friction, long wear and high Pressure-Velocity capabilities) make
this grade especially suited for bearing and wear applications.
Download
the Ketron® PEEK-HPV.pdf datasheet here.
Ketron® main characteristics:
- Very high max. allowable service temperature in air (250°C
continuously, up to 310°C for short periods)
- High mechanical strength, stiffness and creep resistance, also
at elevated temperatures
- Excellent chemical and hydrolysis resistance
- Excellent wear and frictional behavior (particularly Ketron®
PEEK-HPV and PEEK-CA30)
- Very good dimensional stability
- Inherent low flammability and very low levels of smoke evolution
during combustion
- Good electrical insulating and dielectric properties (except
for Ketron® PEEK-HPV and PEEK- CA30)
- Excellent resistance against high energy radiation

Celazole®
PBI is the highest performance engineering thermoplastic available
today. It offers the highest heat resistance and mechanical property
retention over 400°F of any unfilled plastic. It has better wear resistance
and load carrying capabilities at extreme temperatures than any other
reinforced or unreinforced engineering plastic.
Read the Celazole® PBI datasheet here.
As an unreinforced material, Celazole® PBI is very "clean" in terms
of ionic impurity and it does not outgas (except water). These characteristics
make this material very attractive to semiconductor manufacturers
for vacuum chamber applications. Celazole® PBI has excellent ultrasonic
transparency which makes it an ideal choice for parts such as probe
tip lenses in ultrasonic measuring equipment.
Celazole®
PBI is also an excellent thermal insulator. Other plastics in
melt do not stick to PBI. These characteristics make it ideal for
contact seals and insulator bushings in plastic production and molding
equipment.
A partial list of proven applications:
High Heat Insulator Bushings
Bushings used in hot runner plastic injection molds made of Celazole®
PBI allow the plastic being molded to remain in melt as the part "freezes"
in the cool mold. Bushings last longer and ease clean up since hot
molten plastics do not stick to PBI. (Prior materials: Vespel* PI,
Ceramic)
Electrical Connectors
For an extra margin of safety, an aircraft engine manufacturer
replaced connectors exposed to temperatures over 400°F (205°C) with
Celazole® PBI. (Prior material: Vespel* PI)
Ball Valve Seats
Seats manufactured from Celazole® PBI excel in high temperature
fluid handling service. (Prior material: Metal)

Modern
Plastics offers Acetron® GP, a general purpose acetal; the only porosity-free
acetal product available today. Investments in process technology
by Quadrant EPP now provide the performance and machinability of acetal
without center core porosity. An in-line photometric quality procedure
assures every plate and rod is porosity-free as measured by Quadrant
EPP's quick check dye penetrant test. Acetron®
GP natural is FDA, USDA, NSF, Canada AG and 3A-Dairy compliant.
Download
the Acetron® GP data sheet here.
Acetal provides high strength and stiffness coupled with enhanced
dimensional stability and ease of machining. As a semi-crystalline
material, acetal is also characterized by a low coefficient of friction
and good wear properties –– especially in wet environments.
Because acetal absorbs minimal amounts of moisture, its physical properties
remain constant in a variety of environments. Low moisture absorption
results in excellent dimensional stability for close-tolerance machined
parts. In high moisture or submerged applications, acetal bearings
outperform nylon 4 to 1. Acetal is ideally suited for close tolerance
mechanical parts and electrical insulators which require strength
and stiffness. It also offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals
including many solvents.

| IntePro®
Storm Protection Panels |
Modern
Plastics now offers one of the strongest, light weight plastic substrates
available in the industry for home, office, factory and business protection
in the event of severe storm and weather activity. Our IntePro® 16mm
Corrugated Polypropylene sheet has successfully passed and is compliant
with ASTM E1996 (Standard Specification for Performance of Exterior
Windows, Curtains Walls, Doors and Impact Protective Systems Impacted
by Wind Borne Debris in Hurricanes).
Results show a Wind Zone 4 missile impact resistance and negative
wind load resistance of -105 psf.
Modern Plastics "Storm
Protection Panels" can outperform most competitors' products and
are a less-expensive alternative. Super-strong vertical "flutes" sandwiched
between polypropylene, offer heavy duty protection. The natural color
allows light to enter the home during the day.
This is truly the preferred substrate to replace plywood, OSB and
other storm window protection products. Storm Protection Panels are
easily stored for repeated usage for years and years of protective
service.
Modern Plastics now offers this item for sale in 16mm thick and sheet
size of 48" x 96" (other sizes available on a custom order basis).
Since these panels are shipped in a sheet size that will need to ship
common carrier, your freight charges will be calculated at "TBD" (To
Be Determined).

Storm Protection Panels from the Modern Plastics online store.
