Developments in Engineering Resins

Developing More Sustainable Applications 

As the building and automotive industries respond to macro trends, the demand for engineering resins as replacements for heavy and high-emission materials is rising. Switching from heavy metals and noncircular thermoset materials to thermoplastic engineering resins enables lighter, more efficient parts while maintaining durability and performance. Additionally, a focus on design for reuse and carbon footprint reduction is pushing manufacturers toward more sustainable product designs.

Added Value of Our Engineering Resin Portfolio

Elevate both the aesthetics and functionality of your resins while preserving their exceptional thermal and mechanical properties: Our masterbatches make your applications more durable by offering superior protection against UV radiation and harsh weather conditions. Additionally, our solutions enhance the visual appeal of your products by delivering accurate and consistent colors to keep them looking new and high-quality.

Collaboration and Innovation in Engineering Resins

Developing High-Quality, Efficient Masterbatches

As one of the few polymers that are both home-compostable and soil/marine biodegradable, PHA stands out in the market. To enhance its visual appeal, we provide a comprehensive PHA color palette and technical expertise tailored to the requirements of the material. Our formulations are designed with the specific end-of-life options of PHA in mind, offering design flexibility while preserving its unique properties.

Improving Your Products’ Carbon Footprint

Reduce the carbon footprint of your applications! Our technology enables the combination of non-PCR ABS and PCR PET into one material while preserving mechanical integrity.

Color and Appearance for Engineering Resins

Transform your products with vibrant, durable, and evenly distributed colors that meet every design wish. We offer a broad and customizable color portfolio for the engineering resins PC, PS, PA6, SMMA, SAN, PMMA, and ABS. Further enhance the aesthetics of your products with our durable Matting Agents, providing anti-reflective, satin, or frosted surface finish for a high-value look.

End Application Modifiers for Engineering Resins

Enhance the performance of engineering resins in various end applications. Our Laser Engravings facilitate durable, high-contrast markings on diverse plastics. Custom LED housing or neon writing can be achieved through our Light Diffusors. Our IR Absorber controls solar heat management in sheets and window films, while our UV Stabilizers prevent microcrack formation and color fading in outdoor applications caused by sunlight.

Slip, Antiblock & Release Modifiers for Engineering Resins

Streamline manufacturing processes and enhance the performance of your engineering resins. Mold Release masterbatches support the production of transparent, high temperature resistant parts, as they improve external release properties for efficient demolding and lower part-to-part friction.

Mechanical Recycling Enhancement for Engineering Resins

Enabling high performance and environmentally conscious applications. Lower the carbon footprint of your application by replacing part of your virgin engineering resins with post-consumer or post-industrial recycled PET. Our Compatibilizers make polymer mixes of immiscible rPET and engineering resins possible while preserving the material’s mechanical properties.
