Renewable, plant-based raw materials, have been shown to offer significantly lower product carbon footprint values than typical petroleum-based feedstock.
Compared with traditional PA66 glass fiber-filled materials, these bio-derived solutions offer lower warpage plus excellent surface appearance and colorability.
Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint

reSound™ Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint TPEs are formulated to achieve a negative, neutral or low carbon footprint versus traditional TPEs.
Complēt™ & Onforce™ Long Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics are formulated for demanding applications that require high stiffness and good impact in structural and metal replacement applications.
These formulations offer a unique balance of temperature, impact and cost performance, while reducing the carbon footprint from the onset of a product life cycle.

At a high level, long fiber and short fiber reinforced solutions vary simply as that – fiber length within the pellets.
Since fiber in long fiber composites is continuous throughout the length of each cut pellet, long fiber materials have a higher fiber aspect ratio than short fiber filled plastics.
