Performance characteristics, including density, corrosion and chemical resistance, and mechanical performance, can be customized depending on application needs.  

Vapor honing, sand or bead blasting and chemical etching may also be used to produce surfaces with varying degrees of gloss and appearance.

Product Stewardship & Global Chemical Management + Product Excellence

These comprise several new product launches, including statically dissipative and electrically conductive thermoplastic elastomers, additives designed to enhance the recycling of polyolefins, and engineered materials and performance additives that can help customers conform to proposals from the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to restrict the use of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).  

This material portfolio also delivers excellent flame, chemical, and UV light resistance, making it a cost-effective replacement for various engineered polymers and metal in applications such as laundry consoles, circuit board housings, medical equipment, and LED lighting.

Offering the beneficial inherent properties of thermoplastic composites, Hammerhead FR panels can resist rot and degradation from moisture, chemicals, ultraviolet (UV) light, and corrosion, and they can bond easily to other materials with strong adhesive properties and paintable surfaces.

Colorant Chromatics™ Chemical & Physical Foaming Additives enhance electrical properties, reduce cable weight, and improve cost effectiveness.
