The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is becoming increasingly commonplace across a wide range of industries and applications. However, the combinations of materials that make up the composites themselves can be as varied as the end-uses. Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

Check for color concentrate compatibility and/or the use of a lubricated grade of substrate

This functional additive is designed for use with polypropylene and polyethylene.

These modifiers also facilitate the use of PET and PETG in food packaging applications, reducing product breakage in items such as PET/PETG trays, PET strapping belts, PETG shrink films, and PET bottles.

PREPERM™ materials can be used in automotive radar antenna covers, radomes, emblems and bumper windows to provide longer beam length and wider beam scanning angles compared to alternative materials. Ultra-low loss PREPERM™ materials can also be used in industrial radars for different types of level detection applications such as those used in the process industry, silos and automated warehouses. These solutions are also suitable for use in industrial machinery, consumer electronics (gesture recognition), rain droplet analyzers and for applications identifying moving crowds in different surroundings. 

In 2018, we delivered $480 million in sustainable solutions sales, which we determined using criteria in the FTC 2012 Guide for the Use of Environmental Marketing Claims.  IT Systems Use Policy

Medical device manufacturers that use Trilliant™ XR Lead Replacement Thermoplastics, a more sustainable shielding solution, can avoid the regulatory, disposal and employee exposure challenges associated with lead, while achieving the performance necessary to protect patients and healthcare workers from exposure to harmful radiation. Using Trilliant XR can also contribute to overall system cost reduction by avoiding costly record management and reporting requirements of using lead.
