Flat or round profiles, or cored braids for added strength

By increasing the use of scrap or recycled PET material generated during extrusion of products such as BOPET film, PET sheet and fiber, you can avoid complex and expensive solid state processing and improve your sustainability profile.

We are at the intersection of physical and digital and ask ourselves, is it possible our digital profiles have come to define us more than our physical ones?

When the technology was profiled on television, the attractive color caught audiences’ attention and generated many inquiries.

In addition to these creative hues, reSound NF is now available in formulations that have been tested and proven for profile extrusion, expanding its use to potential extrusion applications in building and construction, sports and leisure, and furniture manufacturing.
