Engineers chose this third option because it met all of the technical requirements and had the best combination of properties.

Going forward, our enhanced portfolio and strong balance sheet will open even more opportunities for innovation around our 4 P's of sustainability -- people, products, planet, and performance."

Fiber-Line™ Swellcoat™ Water Blocking Yarns support 5G antennae, data centers, and backbone cable designs to prevent equipment damage and signal attenuation due to water ingression in the cables.

Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive. Boyson, et al., “Graphene: Sheets of Carbon-based Nanoparticles,” http://www.dummies.com/education/science/nanotechnology/graphene-sheets-of-carbon-based-nanoparticles/ 5E. Compounds at the high end of the resistivity scale shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI).1 Faster data transmission and broader electromagnetic frequencies are driving the need for better EMI/RFI protection for electronic devices.2

The Taoyuan site has extensive experience in providing customers with solutions that meet demanding requirements such as technical challenges, risk mitigation, and quality consistency. These are supported by laboratory facilities as well as technical and commercial teams that are thoroughly trained in risk assessment and change management, according to global MEVOPUR standards.

These custom-engineered products are available with a wide variety of core materials, including end-grain balsa, foam or engineered woods and laminate face-sheets with continuous fiberglass and/or carbon fiber reinforced polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy or custom resins.

The company noted that proceeds from the sale will be used to strengthen its balance sheet and fund future growth initiatives, including investing in sustainable solutions and specialty acquisitions. 

Thermoform sheet for Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) dairy applications

Specific continuous-fiber thermoplastic technologies include: •    Multi-axial and multilayer tapes, laminates and sheets up to 10’ wide •    Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths, up to 6” thick and 10’ wide •    High volume production capacity

Sheet metal restricts design flexibility, and different automotive OEMs request different attachment configurations for the part,” Spiess explained.
