The summation of these three component costs should help define why one product is better than the other product on pure economics. This TIPS sheet will focus on the raw material cost, specifically, how Specific Gravity plays a role in the overall economics. As a buyer, one can easily see how specific gravity of a TPE plays a major role in the total number of pounds required to fill the order and the total dollars that will be spent.

Discover how a bespoke ColorWorks™ color-finding project helped gain the competitive edge in the ski boot market. A supplier of plastic compounds now has an invaluable competitive edge in one of its primary markets, thanks to an in-depth research and color-finding project recently completed in partnership with Avient ColorWorks™. Detailed conversations with the shops’ boot experts helped the researchers develop a thorough understanding of the needs of the different types of skiers, from the top-level experts to more accomplished (prepared) customers and finally the so called ‘Sunday skier.’
