CELLULOSE ACETATE GRANULES
Recyclable Perfomance Biopolymer for Moulding & Extrusion
SUNCEL CELLULOSE ACETATE GRANULES
CA (Cellulose Acetate) Granules are a recyclable performance biopolymer with a unique combination of mechanical properties, chemical resistance and transparency, and are manufactured from Cellulose Acetate (CA) Flake. The basic raw material for CA Flakes is Cellulose, a natural biochain structure derived from wood pulp and cotton linters, which is modified with Acetic Acid to make the biopolymer.
Suncel is a range of performance CA Granules manufactured by Interplex India from carefully selected inputs, to exacting standards based on our superior technical capability, professional and systematic approach to manufacturing and continuous research and innovation.
Suncel is manufactured on state of the art imported plant, utilizing the Company’s experience since 1989 in the field of specialized extrusion processing. Interplex’s manufacturing facility has full ISO Certifications.
Suncel has exceptional processing & long term stability, high clarity & gloss and can be easily processed by injection moulding or extrusion processing.
SUNCEL GRADES
IG GRADE
IG Grade is made from selected inputs to give the optimal properties and costing for general purpose injection moulding of tool handles, combs, etc.
OTHER GRADES
Suncel can be offered in Other Grades with specialized properties, colours and flow characteristics as per specific customer requirements.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SUNCEL
- High impact and mechanical strength
- High dielectric strength
- Excellent transparency and gloss
- Excellent machining and polishing ability
- Warm and comfortable feel when in contact with human skin
- Easily coloured in unlimited variety

SPECIFICATIONS
Suncel is offered in IG Grade for general purpose injection moulding applications. IG Grade is offered in MSflow designation in a standard range of colours. IG Grade in MSFlow gives the best combination of processing and mechanical properties for general moulding applications.
Suncel is offered in other grades with a range of specifications and flow designations. Suncel can be offered in flow designations from S (highest) to H3(lowest).S or Higher flows will have better impact strength but lower surface hardness and stiffness and vice versa. Interplex can offer Suncel in grades for specialized injection moulding and extrusion applications and in different colours as required by customers.
