This will reduce material residence time at temperature and dead time in the barrel. Reducing the transfer pressure from boost to pack and hold will help to control drool at the bushing tip. Reduced physical properties.

Lightweighting involves removing weight without sacrificing strength or performance, which in turn, raises fuel efficiency and reduces A primary goal among OEMs today is to improve fuel efficiency and reduce Hammerhead™ marine composite panels reduce weight and increase durability versus wood in structural boat-building components, such as stringers and subfloors.

ADAS: Protecting sensors and cameras from EMI/RFI interference with electrically conductive thermoplastics that reduce weight versus metal Lightweighting: Replacing metal with advanced composite laminates for reduced weight, better dent resistance, and lower warranty costs Reduced VOCs: Eliminating paint with a metallic colorant for vehicle exterior components to reduce cost and remove VOC emissions

Mevopur™ Healthcare Bio-based Polymer Solutions provide a unique family of color and additive concentrates based on polymers with 70-95 percent bio-content and pre-tested raw materials to help reduce carbon footprint and mitigate risk. Mevopur™ Chemical Foaming Agents can help manufacturers of medical achieve their sustainability goals through lightweighting, reducing plastic use (and therefore reducing the consumption of non-renewable resources), enabling faster cycling times, and saving energy during processing.   Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
