The Solution reSound™ R post-industrial recycle (PIR) and post-consumer recycle (PCR) TPEs help brand owners create sustainable end-user products. Formulated to achieve 62 percent recycled content, this high-performance TPE enabled BIC to create products that live up to its sustainability promises. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.

Customer-focused integration of Magenta Colorants and TPE assets acquired from Kraton well underway; contributes $0.01 to EPS in the first quarter Underlying growth of 4% plus the acquired revenue from Magenta and Kraton's TPE business led to a sales increase of 5%. 

Completed acquisition of Kraton's TPE business in first quarter 2016 I'm excited to kick-off 2016 with our acquisition of Kraton's thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) business," Mr. Kraton will continue to supply us with styrenic block co-polymers and we will leverage our expertise in TPE formulation to accelerate growth, primarily in the consumer and healthcare markets."

Healthcare TPEs: Versaflex™ HC

TPEs that are ideal for healthcare, consumer goods and cutting-edge electronics such as wearables
