These materials combine the unique benefits
of internal lubricants such as PTFE, silicone and molybdenum disulfide with a wide array of base engineering
resins.
Runners
• Full-round runners or a modified trapezoid runner are the best designs.
Well depths approximately 1.5 times the diameter of the runner provide the best results.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
(In millions, except per share data)
Senior management uses gross margin before special items and operating income before special items to assess performance
and allocate resources because senior management believes that these measures are useful in understanding current profitability
levels and how it may serve as a basis for future performance.

We saw an untapped market opportunity for improved seat
fastening solutions and recognized that continuing to use bent
steel plate would hold us back,” said Hagen Spiess, Senior
Design Engineer at HellermannTyton.
HellermannTyton designers believed that engineered
thermoplastics were the answer.
The
new seat securement part has already been adopted by one
OEM customer, and we are confident that other manufacturers
will come to us for this lightweight, cost-efficient solution.”

Weight Reduction
• LFT has lower density vs. metal, but still meets
structural performance requirements
• Lightweighting helps meet sustainability goals
related to lower fuel consumption and extended
vehicle range
Design Flexibility
• Injection molding allows for complex geometries
and part consolidation
• Advanced modeling and computer-aided
engineering (CAE) tools for long fiber composites
help validate and optimize part design
