Our process achieves higher “wet-out” of individual fiber filaments which is necessary to create a strong bond between the fiber and thermoplastic polymer. Pellet length can be varied from 6 mm (0.25 inch) to 48 mm (2.0 inches) depending on thermoplastic composite forming process requirements.  What is LFT

Studies by the EPA and other organizations show that each 5 percent of vehicle weight removed can improve fuel economy by 2 percent. Eliminate the all-or-nothing approach: Critical components may indeed require metal for certain attributes, but that doesn’t mean plastic is entirely out of the picture. We’ll supply you with proven solutions that take the hassle out of achieving your goals.

It’s one of these shapes that influences what kind of enhancement the particle can bring.   Molded parts can shrink after they come out of the mold as the polymer cools. A GFRP usually is between 10 percent to 50 percent glass fiber by weight.

CLEVELAND – September 13, 2018 – Before PolyOne introduced Versaflex™ XP shock absorbing TPEs to the market, it reached out to an independent testing lab to understand just how well these new materials perform relative to TPUs, one of the most commonly used materials in phone cases. Results showed Versaflex™ XP shock absorbing TPEs absorbed up to 10 percent more impact than TPU at drop heights of 4 – 8 feet, and over 25 percent more impact at 10 – 14 feet.

Amosorb 4020R delivers full, consistent oxygen scavenging performance with 25 percent, 50 percent, and even 100 percent rPET content.

As a result, brand owners in the EU, Asia, and LATAM are proactively reducing TiO2 and total inorganic content in their packaging to less than 4 percent, with an eye toward an expected future reduction to less than 1 percent.  Lactra Four, One, and Zero offer light blocking up to 99.9 percent with total inorganic content of less than 4 percent and TiO2 content between 4 and zero percent.

According to the American Chemistry Council, plastic components make up 50 percent of a vehicles volume, but only 10 percent of its weight.
