Further, by moving to
a paintless material, this customer was able
to eliminate the volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) produced during paint operations,
thereby improving the environmental
footprint of their production facility.

Using a variety of metallic fibers and
particles, these compounds have densities
similar to traditional metals, while offering
design and processing flexibility because of the
polymer matrix, which can be extruded, molded,
calendered, or thermoformed into the final
desired shape.
