Complēt™ LGF, moisture-resistant grade delivers improved performance and cost savings for aftermarket parts manufacturer Complēt™ LCF PES formulation delivered lightweighting for an aerospace seat component through metal replacement (replacing aluminum) Injection molded Complēt™ long carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite delivered high stiffness and low weight while simplifying manufacturing

This combination creates a tremendous opportunity for OEMs and molders to create superior products that support sustainability goals, enable design aspirations, and – most importantly – deliver optimal performance. Specialty polymers can deliver the same performance as traditional metal components and offer manufacturing ease for creating next-generation parts.

Our cash flow generation, financial profile and earnings potential have never been stronger, and we are very well positioned to deliver double digit EPS growth in 2018 and beyond." We view the increased payouts as a balanced element of delivering value to our shareholders, as our payout ratio remains modest at approximately 30%. 

These functional additives enable the material surface to repel water or other liquids to deliver the last drop out of a package or devices such as pipette tips. It also contains more specialty formulations like the HC BT218 grade, which was developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables.

This combination creates a tremendous opportunity for OEMs and molders to create superior products that support sustainability goals, enable design aspirations, and – most importantly – deliver optimal performance. Specialty polymers can deliver the same performance as traditional metal components and offer manufacturing ease for creating next-generation parts.

The second acquired business, Polystrand, operates on the leading edge of continuous reinforced thermoplastic composite technology, a next generation material science that delivers the high strength and lightweight characteristics of composites, further enhanced with the design flexibility to form more complex shapes. Ultimately, we make these investments for our customers – to deliver their needed innovation and growth. 

The innovative hybrid product technology is developed to replace die-cast or machined metals to deliver both the look and weighted feel of metal in premium brand high-impact applications. As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.”
