Using our formulation expertise and operational capabilities, we create an essential link between large chemical producers (our raw material suppliers) and designers, assemblers and processors of plastics (our customers). These specialized polymers offer sustainability and performance advantages compared to traditional materials, including design freedom, processability, weight reduction, chemical resistance, flame retardance and lower cost. Specialty Engineered Materials Specialty Engineered Materials is a leading formulator of specialty and sustainable polymer formulations, services and solutions for designers, assemblers and processors of thermoplastic materials across a wide variety of markets and end-use applications.

Device designs are changing to improve high-speed performance and network connectivity to support faster speeds, higher capacity, and lower latencies for customers. These 5G transparent TPEs combine the excellent physical properties, aesthetics and UV resistance qualities of traditional TPEs with lower dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) performance, resulting in an advanced material solution with less signal degradation for next-generation devices. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information. It is the responsibility of the medical device manufacturer and the person placing the medical device on the market to ensure compliance of the medical device with all applicable laws and regulations, including the suitability of all raw materials and components used for its manufacture.
