something about the sturdy plastics

something about the sturdy plasticsAfter the Anilox cleaner, my father now had another special requests. He wants me to search for Retaining Rings made of techtron. I think, I’m becoming my father’s favorite daughter, favorite to ask favors.

Anyway, I gladly accepted to do the task. Before jumping to online stores, I need to check what exactly techtron is. All he said is that it is a plastic, period. No more follow-up explanation after that. So, that leaves me no choice, but to research about it by myself.

Based on my research, Techtron polyphenylene sulfide is a strong and rigid advanced engineering thermoplastic that offer the broadest resistance to chemicals. It’s a very sturdy plastic that has no known solvents below 392º F (200º C) that means it has dimensional stability. And it doesn’t react to steam, strong bases, fuels, and acids. It is also resistant to wear and tear. I supposed this product will last for a long period of time, which makes it very cost efficient.

I wonder where my father would use this product. Well, that is his business, mine is to look for the product and I’m free. But, I already spend at least three hours this day and I can’t get the exact item he needs. Sigh! Hopefully I get this task right.
