Some products call for a grippy surface, like the handle of a fishing pole. If thermoplastic elastomers can do all this, you might be asking yourself, “Is there any reason I wouldn’t want to use TPEs?” For one, you can’t put a product or device made with TPEs in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which you can do with silicone.

We will uphold these values with the utmost integrity in all that we do. And we have over 16,000 who do. We create value for our stakeholders and we love to win.

As the supply chain matures, there will likely be more flexibility to meet stringent regulatory demands. Biopolymers generally can attain consistent colorability because they do not derive from complex recycling streams like PIR and PCR content.  If you would like to explore the possibilities of using sustainable raw materials, contact us.

In doing so, we innovate solutions that help our customers overcome their challenges or capitalize on opportunities provided by the fast-changing world and secular trends. We sell our materials solutions to Brand Owners/OEMs, converters, processors and assemblers to enable their performance and sustainability goals in applications like consumer, packaging, healthcare, defense, building & construction and transportation.

Doing so may require you to challenge the status quo. Do parts require expensive or time-consuming finishing processes? Electrically conductive components: Managing electrostatic discharge (ESD) or other static charges like electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is critical in modern vehicles.
