To help, this article provides a high-level overview of the differences in three essential categories: design, production, and performance.  Performance Ultimately, choosing the right material for your application is a balance between sustainability goals, design requirements, end-to-end product costs, and performance targets.

These polymer formulations have been developed to achieve equivalent performance to prime density modified solutions with added sustainability benefits, supporting the circular economy, and reducing product carbon footprint.     They allow complex designs without expensive tooling, and performance characteristics (density, corrosion and chemical resistance, mechanical performance) can be customized depending on application need.
