PHTHALATES IN PLASTICS KNOWING THE FACTS Phthalates are a group of chemicals used to make plastics, and in particular polyvinyl chloride (PVC), more flexible. Learn more about phthalates at: ChemicalSafetyFacts.org AmericanChemistry.com PHTHALATES HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY RESEARCHED A large amount of research on phthalates has been conducted by universities, government agencies, manufacturers and independent test laboratories.

These TPEs meet industry ingress protection (IP) standards, are overmoldable directly onto common speaker housing substrates, and deliver more design freedom than you’ve ever thought possible.

reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs are available globally, and each PCF is location specific to more accurately support carbon neutrality efforts. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Negative, neutral, or low PCF • Available in 60 and 80 Shore A • Performs like traditional TPEs • Naturally opaque and easy to color • Suitable to injection mold, or overmold onto PP and PE MARKETS & APPLICATIONS The portfolio of reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs is ideal for brand owners and manufacturers who prefer to use a more sustainable material in personal care, household appliance, consumer electronics, and consumer packaging applications.

Injection molded LFTs offer designers the flexibility to build in strength and stiffness, accommodate more complex geometries, and accomplish performance objectives at a fraction of the weight of metal. In addition, it is equally important to look beyond the datasheets to more fully understand the application demands, working environments, and product life expectations to use and optimize the material for your specific application.
