Our recent efforts to expand our portfolio in less-cyclical, more specialty technologies has been a source of strength for us, as other markets have been significantly impacted by global lockdowns and stay-at-home orders," Mr. Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

For the year, SEM grew operating income 13%, as demand for our composites technologies continues to strengthen," said Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

The company expects the additional sales, marketing and technology investments to begin contributing more meaningfully to its longer sales cycle businesses in 2017 and 2018. Important new technologies have also been added through strategic acquisitions.  These include new thermoset and thermoplastic composites, which represent the next frontier in lightweighting technology, thermoplastic elastomer adhesives and protective films. 

They’re stronger, sleeker and more versatile than they’ve ever been because polymer science has evolved along with manufacturing technologies.   Frankland, “How Fillers Impact Extrusion Processing,” Plastics Technology (Nov. 2011), www.ptonline.com/columns/how-fillers-impact-extrusion-processing Although carbon fibers are more expensive than glass fibers, new technologies are making carbon fibers more affordable1.

Most notably, sales of composite technologies organically increased 8% over the prior year, and additives into the packaging market increased 3%."  Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses
