When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).

There is also a shift from polypropylene (PP) to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) closures, where post-consumer resin is more readily available.

Composites is a high-growth area where we’ve invested, such as in January when we purchased Fiber-Line, a global leader in customized engineered fibers and composite materials that serves the fiber optic cable, oil & gas, industrial and consumer industries.

These short fiber formulations combine select engineering resins with reinforcing additives such as carbon powder, carbon fiber, nickel-coated carbon fiber and stainless steel fiber, to provide the precise level of electrical conductivity required for your application.   

It can and often does replace more traditional construction materials, such as glass and acrylic, in applications where transparency and clarity are important. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

This Versaflex™ PKG TPE is formulated for aluminum caps used for sealing glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or aluminum containers. As an extension of GLS compression-molded cap liner technology, this non-PVC Versaflex PKG is formulated for aluminum caps used for sealing glass, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or aluminum containers.

Since clinical trials began in 2016, this system has delivered correct-strength glasses to over 500,000 people in 67 countries. Trained, local ‘refractionists’, assist in this process, and it takes approximately 15 minutes to deliver prescription glasses for less than $5 per pair.
