reSound™ REC TPEs: specially developed for automotive interiors, formulated with 55% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content to offer a more sustainable alternative to standard TPE grades without compromising performance criteria such as ultraviolet (UV) stability, low volatile organic compound (VOC) content, low odor, and low fogging in applications such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) nozzles, interior mats, and cup holders Bergamid™ FR Non-Halogen Flame Retardant Formulations: specially formulated for high-voltage connectors in a safety orange color, these materials combine the application flexibility of high-flow nylons for thin-wall designs with the performance of a non-halogenated fire retardant system, available in unfilled or reinforced PA6, PA66 and PA 6/66 grades with UL 94 V0 and CTI 800+ ratings   Need help?

Your next air gun or crossbow can help with smart design that takes ergonomic principles and careful material selection into account every step of the way. PLACES TO PLAY • Firearms & Accessories • Air Guns • Ammunition NEW FRONTIERS Comfort & Ergonomics Don’t let firearm aesthetics outweigh the importance of comfort and ergonomics. Side-by-sides can also enable farmers with the utility they need to work smarter, faster and stronger.

They are shear responsive and their viscosity is reduced when they are processed at high shear rates. The figure below illustrates the effect of shear rate on the viscosity of GLS overmolding TPEs. Need help?

First, the products need to match each of the three interior colors that Audi offers for its Q5 (black, gray, and beige). A high melt flow rate for the solution reduces packing and cooling time requirements to improve overall molding cycle times. Need help?

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate and integrate acquisitions; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an ability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisitions and integration, working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; information systems failures and cyberattacks; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

Melt processing of ColorMatrix AAzure products is carried out at typical PET processing conditions at recommended dose rates, which range from 0.01% to 0.13%. Care must be taken to optimize the bottle blowing process due to the increased heat- up rate of the preform, to take advantage of the many benefits offered by this product range.
