These injection
moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that
can be easily colored.
More recently, with the
divestiture of the PP&S segment in 2019 and the acquisition of
Clariant Color in 2020, we have fundamentally repositioned our
portfolio to that of a true specialty enterprise—from which we
can springboard to even greater heights in the future.
