LSR will yield either a dry, slippery surface or a soft, rubbery feel not unlike that of human skin. Adding surface texture can make harder grade TPEs feel softer to the touch, so your product can benefit from both qualities. So a surface treatment is recommended for products such as wearables.

In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Together we can unlock the powerful potential of a future envisioned by you... and shared by us all. Give your product the extra protection it needs to stand up to daily surface abrasion. Surface Modifier Additives

ThermoBallistic thermoplastic panels are thermally formed with e-glass and thermoplastic resin systems, offering a cost-competitive alternative to ballistic-resistant materials made with other fibers or thermoset resins. These panels provide structural bullet-resistant reinforcement to meet UL 752 Level 3 ballistic rating for interior architectural surfaces and components at a lighter weight than traditional panel materials. GlasArmor thermoset panels are constructed from layers of woven e-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary resin system.

WithStand™ Antimicrobial Technology provides antimicrobial and antifungal additives that reduce bacterial, mold and fungal growth in finished plastic parts used in hospital surfaces.

Efficient slush molding: Recently introduced low-temperature Geon™ VBX vinyl powder formulations for automotive interior surfaces and instrument panels meet OEM low temperature requirements and can provide production efficiency improvements of 15% or more.

OnCap™ Low Retention Additives for Healthcare: Designed to repel water and other liquids, this additive can be applied to lab consumables, films, fabrics, and even fibers to change surface retention performance and enable fast evacuation

This configuration provides unique characteristics, such as strong adhesive properties that can improve bonding to various structural materials and to coatings and surface films for increased design flexibility compared to traditional boat building and assembly methods.
