While these statistics are several years old and there have been some improvements, the scale of the issue hasn’t changed.

The resulting custom-formulated grades of GLS™ Dynalloy™ OBC and Versaflex™ TPE allowed the manufacturer to switch to a two-shot molding process that eliminated the time-consuming and costly assembly operations needed for the old part.

Our actions, products, and people support the countries and global communities where we operate.” We must also comply with the laws, rules, and regulations in each country where we operate. Therefore, no bribes or kickbacks are permitted, even in countries where they may be legal.

Deciding to go with a color mixing system may seem like an expensive proposition, but the return on investment is well worth it.

While we have a very small footprint in other rest of world countries, such as Singapore, Thailand, Vientam, Malaysia, it is difficult to receive the resources needed to make substantial decarbonization action in these countries Many other countries are following suit on the EU REACH chemicals regulation or a similar framework.

TOUGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE POWER GRID MODULAR BALLISTIC PROTECTION MADE POSSIBLE WITH COMPOSITES THE CHALLENGE Recent attacks on U.S. electrical substations across the country provide stark reminders that our nation’s power supply remains a primary target for criminals focused on harming our country and security.1 The call to action is evident: we must continually improve the physical and technological infrastructure protection of our nation’s energy supply.
