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.”

These new additions to the reSound REC TPE portfolio are comprised of 60 percent post-consumer recycled content, while delivering performance attributes comparable to those of traditional products – including aesthetics, haptics and physical properties. New Edgetek PKE NHFR formulations overcome the drawbacks of PA6 by delivering low moisture uptake, as well as excellent chemical and wear resistance, and high-impact resistance.
