Materials you can Trust to Deliver on Performance Requirements

Select the materials that deliver the most value to your operation, ensuring everything runs smoothly during the manufacturing process. Maximize the potential of your parts with technical and design support.

Superior Rheology

High Melt Flow Rate (MFR) - Material flows better and the tool can fill the cavity easier, resulting in faster cycle times and dimensional performance

High Stiffness

Above 2700 MPA (Megapascal) flex modulus for load-bearing parts such as instrument panels

High Ductility

Energy management grades provide cold temperature ductility for interior applications

Thermal Management

High Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) performance for underhood applications, providing durability and thermal stability

Ease of Color

Natural base colors that are easily mixed with color concentrate saving on time, money, scrap and offers material management options

Lightweighting

Thinner, stronger materials that use lower density, or lower specific gravity materials with added talc or fiberglass

High Strength

High strength materials for impact sensitive applications

Green Materials

Range of functional black parts with recycled PP bringing RC to the vehicle, help meet sustainability targets

Customer Satisfaction

Hard plastic parts - scratch and mar resistance for interior applications, providing long term ownership satisfaction
