ECCOH™ Low Smoke and Fume Non-Halogen Formulations can be used as insulation and jacketing for a variety of energy, optical fiber and communication cables for 5G. This masterbatch was necessary for the manufacture of melt-blown non-woven polypropylene used to make the protective face masks with long- lasting filtration properties. The Solution This customer used Polystrand™ continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) tapes and laminates in the trailer space of their heavy truck applications.

Paint substitution: Painting is costly, produces VOCs, and complicates production. OnColor™ color and additive concentrates help manufacturers transition away from paint to in-mold color (IMC) solutions that maintain aesthetic qualities while eliminating production steps.  

CFAs can be used to improve production efficiencies and preserve aesthetic appeal.
