EDGE GLOW is a unique light Transmitting Polycarbonate that allows light to be transmitted through the material and produce bright flashy edging on the material. Few applications are Instrument Panels, Door Sill Plates, Dashboard Trim, Bezel Rings, and Taillights and the material can come in many colors with light-transmitting capabilities.
SILOXANE COPOLYMER POLYCARBONATE (Si PC) high strength Si PC is used to provide advanced lighting solutions instead of conventional painting/plating, can meet assorted colors and shades while allowing light to diffuse through the material. Can be transparent, translucent, or opaque. Few applications are Center Fascia, Buttons, Mood Lamp Cover, Translucent Dashboard, and Light Translucent Grill.
PMMA LIGHTING is high transparency PMMA has excellent chemical resistance, and weatherability, and boasts strong surface hardness for interior/exterior lighting applications, and other trim applications. Some applications include Light Guide Lens, Rear Combination Lamps, Turn Signal Trim, Cluster Window Lens, Door Pillar Garnish, Front Grille, and Ambient Mood Lighting.
Bio-Based Polycarbonate boasts approximately 56% bio content from its feedstock Isosorbide, which is derived from plant-based glucose. Key features are Low Birefringence,
Low VOCs, Surface Hardness, UV Resistance, Improved Melt Flow Properties, Minimized Friction In-Mold. This Bio PC is used in many glass substitution applications because of its high optical characteristics like is HUD Screens, Center Fascia Displays, Dashboard Screens, SC C Cover and Light Guide Lens.
Post-consumer recycled material comes as drop-in replacements for Polypropylene (PP) and Thermoplastic Polyolefins applications. This PCR material maintains key technical specifications while containing 20 30% recycled content (depending on application).
Post Industrial Recycled (PIR) Resin comes as a drop-in replacement for ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene); PC ABS (Polycarbonate/Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene); Nylon or PA 6 or PA66.
Bio-Based Polyurethane (PU) is derived from non-edible plants, such as castor seeds. Bio content in final products is approximately 15%. This bio-based PU only produces approximately 50% of
the CO 2 exhaust that is produced by Petroleum-based PU. Applications are seat cushions made from the Bio PU notice increased riding comfort and increased ball rebound.
Carbon Sequestering Material Polyketone is a new green polymeric material composed of carbon monoxide and olefins, which utilizes carbon monoxide in its manufacturing. Polyketone is utilized in many under the hood applications, and nylon replacement applications, with room for development in interior applications such as shifter modules, armrests, and air ducts. Also frequently used in electrical applications, such as connectors, plugs, switches, and sockets. Polyketone unique features include Antimicrobial Properties – 99.9% Reduction in Staphylococcus Aureus, 99.4% reduction in Escherichia Coli, little To No VOCs, High Impact Strength, Anti Squeak, High Chemical Resistance, and Good Wear & Abrasion Behavior.
