PC is a popular material for everything from automotive interiors and appliances to consumer goods and electronics, thanks to its versatile characteristics and recyclability.
It can and often does replace more traditional construction materials, such as glass and acrylic, in applications where transparency and clarity are important.
Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

They just needed to find the right material.
Reduced material usage: The Therma-Tech formulation required 37 percent less material due to its lower density compared with aluminum.
In addition, the change in material eliminated secondary steps needed to achieve net shape with die casting.

Is TPE the best material for my products?
In the simplest terms, traditional TPE types are made by combining a hard material with a soft material, either chemically or by a machine.
The material is not allergenic and does not cause rashes.

One change was to deliver the raw material in round, underwater-cut pellets rather than the square pellets provided by the other material source.
When the new material was put into production, benefits included:
Overall, cost performance for the new material was 40 percent better than for other competitive materials – a level of value the supplier didn’t anticipate when merely seeking another source for a commodity raw material.
