Or overmolding a TPE grip to hair styling products can contribute to an anti-slip surface, even when the product handle is wet. Striking Surface Feel: TPEs can be customized to provide surface feels ranging from grippy or tacky to smooth and silky. TPEs can provide unusual texturing, such as a bubble or ridged surface or even a leather look.

Forward-looking statements give current expectations or forecasts of future events and are not guarantees of future performance. They use words such as “will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance and/or sales Senior management uses operating income excluding special items, adjusted EPS and working capital to assess performance and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability levels and that current levels may serve as a base for future performance.

They deliver compareable performance to prime PA66 glass fiber-filled materials, plus these solutions have excellent surface appearance and colorability, and lower warpage. Excellent surface appearance and colorability Offered better surface finish and sustainstable formulations for toy gun scope

Game changing concentrates for polymer parts create a metallic surface finish that truly mimics paint while eliminating the painting process. CLEVELAND – October 31, 2017 – PolyOne today launched OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants, a striking new line of special effect masterbatches that finally meet the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish. When molded into plastic parts, manufacturers can eliminate painting and its associated processing steps for lower cost and longer-lasting, highly reflective surfaces.”

A passing result for this method is >2 log reduction, indicating at least 99% of the bacteria on the surface were killed over the course of 24 h. The surface of both the agar and the sample was inoculated by spraying with the aforementioned spore suspension. The agar was rinsed from the surface, and the samples were reexamined for the presence of staining.
