CLEVELAND – Consumer, healthcare, transportation and building products manufacturers now have a high-performance material offering both excellent properties and sustainability in one cost-effective, vinyl-based material package.
This creates a truly non-phthalate flexible vinyl that performs at levels equal to or better than materials containing petroleum-based plasticizers.
Compared to other flexible vinyls, Geon BIO materials feature a wider processing window and enhanced thermal stability, which may reduce production costs by improving manufacturing efficiency.
