Rubber and Plastics Industry Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.

The most common use—coatings and plastics—accounts for more than 80 percent of global consumption. TiO2 is the most used in terms of volume of all pigments employed by the plastic industry.

Now the benefits of thermoplastic materials are available also for the applications traditionally produced from ceramics or thermoset plastic materials CREATING A SAFE AND ULTRA-CONNECTED SOCIETY WITH FUNCTIONAL PLASTICS That’s our purpose—plain and simple.

Design flexibility = fast customization: Plastic offers much greater design freedom than metal, enabling the company to quickly develop and produce variations of the seat securement part for different customers Injection molding = system cost savings: Compared to metal fabrication, which requires time-consuming secondary operations, injection molded plastics can be produced as a net-shape part in a single step, boosting productivity and lowering system costs.

POLYOLEFINS ALIGNING WITH SUSTAINABILITY GOALS POLYOLEFINS ARE EVERYWHERE Polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are among the most popular plastics in the world. These may include: • Achieve a percentage of all packaging that is reusable, recyclable or compostable • Increase the use of post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, up to 100% • Use lightweighting or other solutions that will help reduce your carbon footprint • Replace petroleum-based materials with renewable materials such as bio-plastics Whatever your goals, we can help you achieve them with customized solutions based on a number of factors.

Reduction in yellowing using Color Compensation Technology (CCT)   Reduced material consumption/cycle time/improved properties—nucleation Fast acting new generation nucleant for PE and PP; improved dimensional stability, thermal and mechanical properties    Laser marking replacing ink printing/labels Solvent-free, high-speed identification for Nd/YAG laser    Antiblock for PE/PP film Non-migrating additive system maintaining high gloss and printability  Antioxidants for PE, PP, TPE Thermal protection during converting/ downstream sterilization     Brand protection/ anticounterfeit Range of covert and non-covert systems    Volatiles/odor absorber for PE/PP Physical absorption of a wide range of molecules responsible for odor, VOC and potential extractables/ leachables in plastics   Healthcare use limitations apply—see below.
