Proteus® Family

Versatility is the word that best describes Proteus® Co-Polymer. Perfect for fire truck tanks because it is inexpensive, easy to fabricate and won't crack from road vibration, Proteus® Co-Polymer also works well in those orthotic devices that require a lower degree of rigidity.

It can also be used in a variety of applications requiring chemical resistance and/or FDA compliance.

Proteus® Co-Polymer is "natural" in color, stress relieved and available in both 48" x 96" and 48" x 120" sheets with gauge sizes ranging from 1/8" to 2". 

Industries

• Chemical processing & storage
• Die cutting
• Fire fighting equipment
• Medical
• Metal finishing

Applications

• Die cutting pads
• Fabricated parts/living hinge parts
• Fire truck water and foam tanks
• Orthotic and prosthetic devices
• Plating and anodizing process equipment
• Tanks - secondary containment

• Appropriate for applications to 180°F (82°C)
• Resists most acids, alkalis and solvents
• Meets FDA 21CFR 177.1520
• Thermoforming performance
• USDA, NSF and 3-A Dairy Complaint (natural color only)
• Chemical- and corrosion-resistant
• No moisture absorption

This crystalline material is noted for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent chemical resistance and high performance in thermoforming and corrosive environments.

Proteus® Homopolymer is "natural" in color, stress relieved and is available in three sheet sizes:

• 48" x 96" with gauge sizes ranging from 1/16" to 3"
• 48"x 120" with gauge sizes ranging from 1/8" to 2"
• 60" x 120" sheets with gauge sizes ranging from 1/8" to 1"

Industries

• Chemical processing & storage
• Medical
• Metal finishing

Applications

• Orthotic and prosthetic devices
• Plating and anodizing process equipment
• Plenums and manifolds
• Pump components
• Secondary containment
• Storage tanks
• Valve bodies

• Thermoforming performance
• Used for orthotic & prosthetic applications
• Rigid form of polypropylene used where high stiffness is required
• Typical Flexural Modulus: 195,000 PSI
• Lot-to-lot consistency and formability
• Chemical- and corrosion-resistant
• No moisture absorption

Because people come in all different shapes and sizes, orthotic and prosthetic devices must be custom fit — and that's where Proteus® O&P Grade comes in. Proteus® O&P Grade maintains the rigidity and durability required by the orthotics and prosthetics industry, while exhibiting top thermoforming performance.

Proteus® O&P Grade is a "natural" color and available in 48" x 96" sheets with gauge sizes ranging from 1/16" to 1/4".
