Low VOC / FOG TPEs for automotive HVAC flaps help OEMs meet Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards, with grades that satisfy VDA 278 (fogging) and VDA 270 (odor) test standards while minimizing secondary manufacturing steps.

Versaflex^™ CE TPEs for portable audio speaker gaskets and skins protect audio components from water and dust while expanding design freedom. They also resist abrasion and ultraviolet (UV) rays to maintain long-lasting aesthetics, and eliminate assembly steps with a one-step overmolding process.

ECCOH^™ Wire & Cable Solutions are non-halogen formulations that meet strict designations / standards and reduce fire risk with high flame resistance. They help to improve fire safety with low smoke and fume generation in the event of fire, meeting stringent regulations for smoke and toxicity.
