They are based on management's expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to realize anticipated savings and operational benefits from the realignment of assets, including the planned closure of certain manufacturing facilities; the timing of closings and shifts of production to new facilities related to asset realignments and any unforeseen disruptions of service or quality caused by such closings and/or production shifts; our ability to identify and evaluate acquisition targets and consummate acquisitions; the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies into our operations, retain the management teams of acquired companies and retain relationships with customers of acquired companies including without limitations Spartech Corporation; disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the financial condition of our customers, including the ability of customers (especially those that may be highly leveraged and those with inadequate liquidity) to maintain their credit availability; the speed and extent of an economic recovery, including the recovery of the housing market; our ability to achieve new business gains; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; changes in polymer consumption growth rates where we conduct business; changes in global industry capacity or in the rate at which anticipated changes in industry capacity come online; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to achieve or delays in achieving or achievement of less than the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; an inability to maintain appropriate relations with unions and employees; our ability to continue to pay cash dividends; the amount and timing of repurchases of our common shares, if any; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including, without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates and changes in the rate of inflation.

To start the transition from metal to plastic to streamline part weight, it’s important to define your objectives by asking the following questions:  The advanced polymer technology behind LFT allows thermoplastics to retain their strength and stiffness from sub-freezing temperatures up to nearly 400° F (200° C). The typical densities of these specialty plastics vary from 1.65 to 1.75 g/cm3, which is 30 to 40 percent less than aluminum, bringing a high-performance alternative to the table at a fraction of the weight.

Sustainable raw materials typically derive from sources that are bio-based or recycled. Bio-based raw materials are commonly derived from renewable plant sources such as corn, wheat, straw, sugarcane, and food and agricultural waste. PIR content is derived from scrap reclaimed within the manufacturing process via skimmers and sieves.

PCR grades made from 100% post-consumer recycled content Nylon (polyamide) solutions encompass both custom and standard grades from the prime Bergamid™ / Nymax™  Polymer Formulations and Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations portfolio (Chinese language version) Discover sustainable specialty engineered polymers from Avient. 

Typically, the required or achieved injection pressures are from 200 - 600 psi. SEBS formulations release from cool surfaces more easily than hot surfaces. Overmolded parts will take longer to cool because the TPE is only cooled from one side as the plastic substrate has poor thermal conductivity.

Adding surface texture can make harder grade TPEs feel softer to the touch, so your product can benefit from both qualities. Unlike LSR, they can be easily recycled and reprocessed, virtually eliminating waste from the manufacturing stream. The chart below contains products that benefit from both LSR and TPE materials.
