In the past, excellent aesthetics often meant compromising processing speed and performance attributes, such as abrasion resistance, stain resistance, and cycle times.  These TPEs also offer critical UV and stain resistance to endure everyday wear and tear.

The customized ABS formulation with metallic effect was developed to help electronics manufacturers eliminate the painting process while achieving scratch and chemical resistance performance and sustainability goals.  Our newest Artisan metallic effect ABS formulation can help design engineers address these current trends – as well as scratch resistance, chemical resistance, and design freedom – while eliminating secondary processing.”

In addition to a high level of jetness, deep black colorants require very high light fastness (resistance to fading and discoloration when exposed to light) for automotive applications, robust wash fastness (resistance to frequent washing) for sportswear, and resistance to fading from frequent use for fashion and home textiles.  

Incorporating flame retardant additives can help mitigate fire hazards by increasing the ignition resistance of plastics, reducing the speed of flame spread, reducing heat release, and reducing smoke and fume generation. Charging stations can be protected from harsh outdoor environments and daily wear-and-tear by using various solutions, including UV protection, chemical resistance, scratch and mar resistance, or impact modification.

Ballistic-resistant panels made with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites offer key properties enabling Southern States to meet its customers’ critical needs. The Southern States Ballisti-Wall® and Ballisti-Cover® ballistic-resistant solutions made it easy to customize for each application and, at the same time, meet customers’ tight delivery requirements. Southern States’ ballistic-resistant solutions incorporate three layers of uniquely formulated GlasArmor composite panels to achieve Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Level 8 protection.

In some instances, it also was subject to UL’s Vertical Wire Class 1 rating for flame resistance (VW-1). It offered protection from ultraviolet radiation, with improved resistance to heat, cracking, abrasion and creep. It also complied with the critical standards – UL 4703 for photovoltaic wire, UL 44 for indoor use and VW-1 for flame resistance – enabling streamlined production of wires and cables that meet virtually all specifications for solar USE-2 applications.
