Performance and Material Capabilities

Performance and
Material Capabilities

Our products can be tailored to a wide range of performance requirements, from flame retardancy to electrical shielding.

Some of these properties are available in our standard TPE products. Others can be added through custom formulations to suit the needs of your application.

View Product Groups

Flame Retardancy

Halogen-free and halogenated flame-retardant systems. Depending on wall thickness, grades reach UL 94 V-0, V-1, V-2 and HB ratings under the UL 94 test method. Used in electrical, electronics, transportation and construction applications.

Outdoor, UV and Ozone Resistance

UV- and ozone-resistant grades for long-term outdoor use, formulated with protective additives against yellowing, colour fading and surface degradation.

Oil Resistance

We offer oil-resistant PVC compounds for parts in contact with oil.

High and Low Temperature Resistance

Formulations that stay flexible at low temperatures and keep their mechanical properties at high temperatures. Used in automotive seals, HVAC components and façade profiles.

Surface and Texture Options

Low-friction, good-grip and scratch-resistant surface options for your design and functional requirements. Laser-markable grades are also available for part tracking and logos.

Hygiene and Safety

Grades with antibacterial and antimicrobial additives for food-contact products and consumer hygiene applications. Food-contact grades are produced to EU 10/2011 and FDA requirements.

Lightweight and Foamed Structures

Compounds produced with dedicated foaming technologies, for weight reduction, thermal insulation or distinctive surface textures.

Adhesion and Bonding

Grades for direct over-moulding onto rigid plastics (PP, PC, ABS, PA and others).

Electrical Properties

Dedicated grades with adjustable surface conductivity for the electrical and electronics industry and for electronics packaging: anti-static, conductive and electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected.

Regulatory and Standards Compliance

REACH and RoHS compliant formulations, with grades that meet food-contact (FDA, EU 10/2011) and automotive OEM specifications.

Production and Processing

Products optimised for different production methods (extrusion, co-extrusion, injection moulding, blow moulding, two-component (2K) moulding and calendering), developed for short cycle times and dimensional stability.

Aesthetics and Appearance

Highly transparent, glossy or matt, pearlescent and metallic visual effects. Laser-markable formulations for parts that need traceability.
