Thermoplastics offer versatility and a wide range of applications. Garratt worked for DuPont Dow Elastomers, a joint venture of Dupont and Dow (global manufacturers of engineered thermoset rubber and thermoplastic elastomer materials) in market development and product management positions, culminating in a regional commercial leadership role for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Our product portfolio, which we believe to be one of the most diverse in our industry, includes specialty formulated high-performance polymer materials that are manufactured using thermoplastic resins and elastomers, which are then combined with advanced polymer additives, reinforcement, filler, colorant and/or biomaterial technologies.

Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers are formulated to meet demanding healthcare device and application challenges without phthalate plasticizers.

This material, also known as a thermoplastic elastomer, has a soft, grippy feel and is highly colorable.

Processors and converters of flexible thermoplastic film often do an excellent job of meeting the requirements for food protection and attractive marketing. Today, thanks to a development cooperation between a leading global supplier of additive and colorant masterbatches and a major producer of polyolefin thermoplastics, packaging film producers have the opportunity to select film- grade polypropylene for sealing layers that are highly transparent, can be efficiently processed and converted, and yield film that provides an excellent seal and yet still enables easy opening.

For example, we invested in three new engineered materials lines in our Suzhou, China facility; introduced thermoplastic elastomer capability in Pune, India; upgraded our laboratory in McHenry, Illinois; and increased solid and liquid colorant processing capacity at multiple facilities in North America.

Special additives like peroxides, antioxidants, chain extenders, elastomers, colorants and performance modifiers can be added to rPET during processing to achieve these properties and remedy cross-contamination, discoloring or any other impurities.
