INHANCE TiC is a titanium carbide particle filler that increases the hardness, abrasion resistance, and strength of polymers when added to plastic alloys. It can be used in coatings, adhesives, seals, rubber products, and abrasion-resistant molded parts. Compared to polyethylene, INHANCE TiC provides over 150% greater tensile strength, over 800% better abrasion resistance, and slightly higher flexural strength but lower elongation. It is a versatile substitute that can replace metals and increase the wear life of plastics in applications like industrial floor coatings, seals, bearings, and sucker rods.

4. INHANCE TiC Applications:
A. Coatings, adhesives, & sealants
B. Polyurethane products
C. Nitrile rubber products
D. Rigid PVC goods
E. Abrasion resistant molded parts using TiC Polymer
alloys

5. Correlated Uses of INHANCE TiC:
A. Industrial floor
coatings
B. Cast urethanes
C. O-rings, Seals,
Shoe soles
D. Pipe, fittings
E. Bearings,
Mechanical Seals,
Pump impellers
INHANCE TiC is
commonly used in oil
sucker rods due to its
resistance to abrasion

6. Physical Properties of INHANCE TiC
compared to typical Polyethylene
 1.54 X tensile strength
 822% greater abrasion resistance
 1.07 X flexural strength
 91% less elongation
 Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is about
59% of a typical alloy steel

7. Versatility…Substitute for
various materials
 Metals - “Filled or alloyed plastics are
increasingly replacing mechanical
components and machinery-parts made
from steel and metal alloys.”
 Plastics - “These new abrasion-resistant
plastics have potential wear-life ratios
better than 4X over unalloyed versions.”
