The build out of the 5G network has just begun and requires a different physical hardware to support the super-high frequency of the technology.  Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The coloration and processing of recycled polymers can be challenging due to the quality difference between batches of recycled materials and the potential loss of mechanical stability. Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives enable a fire performance in line with different levels of Glow Wire temperatures (IEC 60685-2-12) for various recycled resins including PP, PC, and PS.

At the most basic level, a composite is a combination of two or more different materials. This creates different properties than if the fiber was split up into smaller pieces and spread throughout the resin in different directions. Is there a difference between polymer composites, thermoset composites, and thermoplastic composites?

Specific Versaflex OM grades have been specially formulated to bond to PC, ABS, nylon 6/6, PC/ABS, and PPO. The Versollan™ OM series are TPU alloys specifically designed for thin-wall overmolding (both insert and two-shot molding) onto PC, ABS, and PC/ABS substrates. Natural, light-colored or clear formulations will more easily show contamination or discoloration.
