They also can pass comprehensive xenon and environmental aging tests and show no visual defects, deformation, or stickiness after short-term (6 hours at 100°C) and long-term (500 hours at 90°C) thermal aging. 

Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents: polymer additives typically used in consumer goods and automotive components to reduce part weight, enabling processors to use 10 to 20% less plastic when creating parts that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled alternatives

Proprietary light barrier technology that protects your content from the harmful effects of UV rays Reduce AA levels by up to 80%: Cost-effective and does not compromise production efficiency or recyclability

The high contrast markings eliminate the need for etching and embossing, resulting in a cost-effective solution. Silcosperse Laser Marking additives can also be easily combined with colorants without affecting the shade or effect.

Based on visual test results TECHNICAL BULLETIN TEST METHOD: INDIGO STAIN RESISTANCE TEST The same rigorous method used to test for staining on automotive interior seats, Ford Laboratory Test Method – BN 107-01, was used.

UV Resistance Test - 0.68W/m2 @ 45°C expose 168 hours Anti-abrasion Test - H18 wheel load 1kg @ 500 cycles Surface/Non-blooming - Visual observation Touch Feel - Hand touch Mechanical Properties - Refer to hardness, gravity, tensile strength, elongation, MFI, and flexural modulus, which are tested using ASTM methods Processing - Demold speed & cycle time TEST RESULTS Comprehensively, the Versaflex CE 3130 non-blooming series performed better than competitive materials in balancing functional properties and processing.

Efforts to reduce air emissions—particulate matter, nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs)— are supported by capital investments, integration of cost-effective technologies and innovative operating practices.
