Engineered Polymer Services
Reinforced polymer materials are increasingly being used for structural applications because they allow manufacturers to replace traditional metal components with lighter-weight plastics.
This is where enhanced virtual simulation capabilities can help, providing added value, driving innovation, supporting differentiation, and boosting confidence in structural polymer designs.

Until now, silicone has been the only material for white or light-colored phone cases that resists staining
when in contact with blue jeans.
Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 is the first of its kind and only blue jean stain resistant thermoplastic elastomer for
white and light-colored phone cases.

This latest addition to the Additives for Recycling (A4R) portfolio of solutions helps bring incompatible polymers, such as PP and PE, together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification and will be exhibited at the upcoming Fakuma International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing.
When added to the recycled mixed polymers, Cesa Unify A4R addresses the common material degradation that occurs during the recycling process.
It accomplishes this by increasing stiffness and mechanical strength, thereby bringing the material's properties closer to those of the virgin polymer.
