• TPE/TPU • PET
• HDPE • ABS
• POM • PP
• PC
Custom formulations can be validated for various
resin types, and under specific processing
conditions, at an independent testing lab to ensure
results in commercialization.
They are available
for processes including extrusion, injection
molding, blow molding, rotational molding and
thermoforming.
