Our GLS TPEs safely deliver on all of these requirements, while also adding comfort and enhancing consumer appeal.

Available in a wide range of customizable colors, these impact-modified nylon formulations eliminate secondary painting processes—unlike traditional materials such as painted plastics or metals—providing the added manufacturing and sustainability benefits of reducing energy use and removing VOC emissions.

In addition, to make brass machinable, lead is typically added, introducing environmental and health risks.

These polymer formulations have been developed to achieve equivalent performance to prime density modified solutions with added sustainability benefits.

The oxygen scavenger formulations are added to the PET melt using conventional pellet handling systems.

Added to the feed throat and designed to increase the polymer chain length via reactive extrusion, rePrize enables an increase in both the polymer intrinsic and melt viscosity.

COLOR Color can be added for application identification (e.g., blue and green for medical) or for differentiation.

The more dilute dispersion should be slowly added to the preparation vessel, which should contain a known large quantity of agitated MEG, again ideally held at ambient temperature.
