These TPE grades, formulated for consumer applications, can be used in personal care products, lawn and garden tools, outdoor goods, office supplies, footwear, and houseware durables. Examples include: •    Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic •    Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation •    Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses FOR MEDIA USE ONLY: To download a high-resolution image, please click here: FOR MEDIA USE ONLY

Dyneema®, the world’s strongest fiber™, enables unmatched levels of performance and protection for end-use applications, including ballistic personal protection, marine and sustainable infrastructure, and outdoor sports

Use consistent, tensioned screen mesh:  25-35 n/cm2 recommended.  If using pre-stir ink and printing on a hard surface, use a palette covering to allow for softer printing surface. To increase production speeds, use finer mesh counts for the flash plate to decrease gel time.
