Tenite™ cellulosics can be tailored to the requirements of the user and the corresponding application. The mechanical properties of Tenite™ cellulosic plastics differ with plasticizer levels. Lower plasticizer content yields a harder surface (upto 95 R scale), higher heat resistance, greater rigidity, higher tensile strength (break values can exceed 42 MPa), and better dimensional stability. Higher plasticizer products offer increased impact strength. Notched Izod impact strength properties, at 23C can exceed 530 J/m. Electrical properties of Tenite™ acetate, butyrate, and propionate are similar. All have a high dielectric constant ranging between 3.3 to 3.8 @ 1 MHz conditions, good dielectric strength and volume resistivity. The dissipation factor ranges between 0.01 and 0.15 @ 1 MHz conditions, depending on polymer formula. Cellulosics are frequently chosen not only for their good balance of properties and ease of processing but also for their transparent appearance characteristics.
