These colorants are designed for a wide
variety of applications, in line with RAL, IEC 304,
BS 6746C and AFNOR (Association Française de
Normalisation) color requirements.
They are designed to provide
manufacturing efficiency, enhance performance by providing
additional cable features, and meet end user specifications.
Our
collaborative process affords you flexibility in
polymer design and access to a range of world-
class services, with the ability to meet regulatory
and product specifications globally.

As
these expanded demographics play a major part in the
shooting sports industry, there comes a need for gear
that’s designed for these new participants
With your pioneering designs
and our advanced polymer materials, we’ll give
them the rush and functionality they need.
Polymers offer many more
design options than metal, so you can upgrade
design geometry to better address your customer’s
comfort and ergonomic needs.

Tailored to customer design and
performance specifications, panels are engineered
with custom formulated resins, structural core
materials, and fibers to achieve specific stiffness,
strength, weight, performance and cost targets.
Panels
can be designed to be up to 75% lighter than steel,
and 25% lighter than aluminum skin over frame
systems.
