While LED light bulbs can use up to 80 percent less
energy than incandescent bulbs, and last more than 20
years, they generate a substantial amount of heat that
must be dissipated with a heat sink.

Scratch & Mar Resistance
For applications requiring resistance to daily surface
abrasion, and management of surface energy
• Exterior fencing, decking, railings & shutters
• Outdoor furniture
• Playground equipment
Flame Retardant
Reduces spread of fire and heat release by creating
a char to limit oxygen at the flame source
• Wire & cable • Telecommunications
• Decking, fencing & railings • Conduit
• Exterior siding & cladding • Housings
UV and Light Blocking
UV stabilizers help mitigate the harmful effects of
UV radiation while light blocking additives protect
products sensitive to light
• Exterior siding & cladding • Trim & moldings
• Roofing, shingles, tiles • Outdoor furniture
• Fencing, decking, railings & shutters
Anti-static and Conductive
Controls build-up of static charges to create
static-dissipated parts while reducing related
dust accumulation
• Electrical connectors • Conduit or tubing
• Junction boxes • Flooring
• 5G enabling
Chemical Foaming
Agents
Reduces weight and density without compromising
mechanical properties
• Exterior siding & cladding • Modular panels
• Decking, fencing & railings
Optimization Additives
Cycle-time reducers that help optimize production
while allowing improved dimensional stability and
energy efficiency, among other processing benefits
• Used in extrusion and injection molding processes
to improve thermal conductivity, and lower
processing temperatures and energy consumption
Laser Marking
Supports design and production flexibility and offers
a new level of control in marking polymers with speed
and clarity
• Wire & cable • Outdoor furniture
• Equipment & housings • Pipes & fittings
Anti-counterfeiting
Customizable in-plastic authentication technologies
that enable positive identification versus counterfeit
products
• Wire & cable jacketing • Pipes & fittings
• Telecommunications • Potable water
equipment
Wood Plastic Composite (WPC)
Capstock Technology
Pair with traditional WPC materials as a substrate
for a durable outer layer
• Exterior siding & cladding • Outdoor furniture
• Fencing, decking & railings
Sustainable Colorants &
Color concentrates and additives carefully chosen
to meet industry requirements and legislation, and
designed to lower environmental impact while
improving sustainability
• Green building roofing • OSHA compliance
• Sheet & profile extrusions • LEED building &
material credits
FX Special Effects
Colorants
Granite, marbling, woodgrain and other distinctive
colorant technologies to provide special surface
effects
• Decorative molding • Chair or hand rails
• Wallcovering • Blinds & shutters
• Any surface or part demanding a distinctive look
Pool Colorants Durable, long-lasting pigment formulations for
finishes that hold up to pool water chemistries
• Pool decks • Coping
• In-ground swimming pools
Metallic Flooring &
Stain Colorants
Colorants designed to give concrete floors and
surfaces a distinctive appearance
