Fiber Reinforced Polymer Extrusion Polymer Selection Guide

Relying on material knowledge and state-of-the- art equipment, key elements such as polymer properties, surface finish, and regulatory compliance are carefully considered in the masterbatch formulation to fulfill both the application and the customers’ specific requirements. These include high-temperature, engineering and recycled polymers. For our masterbatches and ready-to-use formulations going into electrical and electronic applications, we can develop formulations to comply with and provide the following declarations as needed on a product- specific basis: • Food contact according to Reg.

This new color and special effects option helps polymer packaging do just that. Available in both liquid and solid formulations, Impress helps to create packaging with a brilliant glossy, metallic surface in unlimited color options. PRODUCT BULLETIN APPLICATIONS • Beverages • Personal Care • Consumer Goods Compatible with: • PET • Injection blow molding TECHNOLOGY COMPONENTS Impress is formulated using an additive that adds a brilliant ultra-glossy appearance to packaging made with semi-crystalline polymers.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include 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 effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows including without any limitation, any supply chain and logistics issues; our ability to achieve the strategic and other objectives relating to the acquisition of Clariant's Masterbatch business, including any expected synergies; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; 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 the anticipated financial benefit from initiatives related to acquisition and integration working capital reductions, cost reductions and employee productivity goals; our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; our ability to consummate and successfully integrate acquisitions; and amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions.

Design engineers know that when high strength-to-weight ratio is required, fiber reinforced polymer FRP) composites are the material of choice. But choosing which composite material out of the spectrum of reinforcement and matrix combinations—from short to long to continuous fibers, and thermoset to thermoplastic resin formulations—is not so simple.

The long glass fiber reinforcement within the hybrid solutions offers a significant boost in toughness to the formulation, protecting your application from impact failure. You are still able to gain the strength of carbon fiber, but are also able to supplement a portion of the formulation with more economically priced glass fiber.
