Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life
and quality of food, beverages, medicine and
other perishable goods through high-
performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier
traditional materials like metal, glass and wood,
which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of
transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize
wastewater, improve the recyclability of materials
and advance a circular economy
• Composite solutions to support accelerated
growth of 5G / fiber-optic infrastructure
investment as the world demands greater and
faster connectivity

As a specialty formulator, we don’t
require significant capital
investment, as compared to the
base resin raw material suppliers
we purchase from.

IMPORTANCE OF UL94
There are two major established norms in the E&E industry that relate to plastics flammability: the IEC 60695
standard and the UL94 standard.
Each one specifies its own fire hazard tests and fail/pass criteria, which depend on the fire
resistance required for the plastic part.
The UL94 standard, which was originally a national standard
in the USA, has gained international acceptance and is now widely used to classify plastic products and how
they burn.
