XCP is SCGC’s post-processing technology platform that transforms existing HDPE into a highly crystalline, porous material with more tightly controlled material behavior. By engineering the polymer structure after production, XCP is designed to unlock higher-value performance in applications such as thermal coating additives and specialty waxes, while providing a platform for future advanced-material development.
Creates a highly crystalline polymer structure that can support properties such as reflectivity and more controlled material performance.
Its engineered porosity can contribute to thermal-insulation performance and provide structural possibilities for advanced applications.
XCP can provide a narrower, more predictable melting range, supporting applications where processing consistency and precision are important.
Designed as a platform rather than a single-purpose material, enabling development across thermal additives, specialty waxes and future advanced-material applications.
Combines polymer feedstock access, process know-how and production capability, supporting the development of tailored material solutions with reliable supply potential.
What is XCP technology?
XCP is SCGC’s post-processing technology platform for engineering HDPE into a highly crystalline and porous material with more controlled material behavior, enabling development for higher-value applications.
How is XCP different from conventional HDPE or wax materials?
XCP modifies the polymer structure after production to achieve characteristics such as higher crystallinity, engineered porosity and more controlled melting behavior that conventional materials may not provide.
What applications is XCP being developed for?
Current development areas include thermal additives for coating systems and specialty wax applications, with additional advanced-material applications being explored.
What are the main benefits of XCP for industrial applications?
Its engineered structure can provide more precise material behavior, thermal-management potential and greater flexibility for developing application-specific material solutions.
Is XCP a single product or a technology platform?
XCP is intended as a technology platform rather than a single end product, allowing SCGC to adapt the engineered material structure for different applications and performance requirements.
