Operational Excellence Empowers us to respond to the voice of the customer with relentless continuous improvement. Commercial Excellence Governs our activities in the marketplace to deliver extraordinary value to our customers. Excellence.

These composites also offer superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional metals, providing longer service life and reduced maintenance costs, making them an excellent option for automotive applications. Our long fiber composites offer an excellent opportunity for automotive aftermarket designers to enhance their components’ performance, aesthetics, and sustainability.

Colorants & Additives for Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) Wire & Cable Applications Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) has excellent mechanical performance, chemical and abrasion resistance. They provide excellent contrast for dark or light colors with high resistance to external friction or chemicals • Smartbatch™ Combination Colorants & Additives: Combines colorants and performance enhancing additives in a single formulation for easier dosing. e.g., long-term light stabilization additive and custom color in one pellet.

Direct machine dosing can provide excellent shot-to-shot consistency and eliminate potential mold plate-out, thus easing processes and control. Good clarity and recyclability Ultimate UV dosing is highly consistent offering excellent part clarity with a superior aesthetic.

Additional advantages of these TPEs include: • Highly flame retardant without the inclusion of halogens • Low temperature flexibility • Excellent processability • Good abrasion resistance • Excellent colorability • Operating temperatures from -50° C to +100° C • All grades meet UL94-V0 at 1.5 mm • All grades pass IEC 60695-2-12 Glow Wire Flammability Index (GWFI) at 960°C

These medical devices could benefit from the excellent chemical resistance found with Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials When this improved chemical resistance is combined with excellent melt flow, flame resistance, UV resistance, and appearance, it’s easy to see why Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials are becoming the materials of choice for rigid medical device housings.

Setting and periodically reviewing environmental objectives and targets assures excellence in environmental leadership. Our practices reinforce these imperatives, and our commitment to excellence in safety and health is absolute.
