With well-controlled laser transmission rates, multiple color choices and customized performance options, this new addition to the Bergamid portfolio allows manufacturers to produce high-performance parts with durable welds and smooth surfaces. Our new Bergamid grades allow high welding strength and a smooth surface resulting in an unparalleled finished product.”

Functional performance additives that are now certified include antimicrobials, surface energy modifiers, content protection additives, and dimensional and physical property modifiers. Resilience™ HC Rigid Vinyl: Offers excellent moldability and surface finish, withstands a broad range of disinfectants, and provides required flammability and UV performance.  

Impress metallic effect colorants can be processed on standard injection stretch blow molding machinery, and create no flow lines that would disrupt the brilliant glossy surface.

To address this issue, you can design with softer materials over a greater surface area. Gloss or semi-gloss textures are often used for highly aesthetic surfaces. However, part design can enable glossy textures to provide a functional grip surface.
