Thermoplastics offer versatility and a wide
range of applications.
Our product portfolio, which we believe to be one of the most
3
diverse in our industry, includes standard and custom formulated high-
performance polymer materials that are manufactured using thermoplastic
resins and elastomers, which are then combined with advanced polymer
additive, reinforcement, filler, colorant and/or biomaterial technologies.
We
believe GLS offers the broadest range of soft-touch thermoplastic elastomers
in the industry.

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.
