Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. With a reputation 30 years in the making, we’re known for our innovation in the areas of:
Great products start with great R&D. Every year our world-class R&D laboratories create new products and enhance existing ones in ways that are redefining the plastics industry. Inspired by customer needs, we can craft products that have the versatility, characteristics and price point you’re looking for. From sourcing the right materials and optimizing the manufacturing process to performing trials and tests to simulate many manufacturing environments, our R&D team can take on your biggest challenges.
In our laboratories, materials are evaluated in their molten phase for rheological, thermodynamic and processability properties; in their solid phase, they are evaluated for mechanical, crystallization and stability properties. Our products are utilized in demanding applications that necessitate good processability, excellent mechanical properties and long term chemical, heat and light stability of the final product.
With an eye on innovation, we’re continually creating specialized equipment and process controls to meet even the most challenging asks. Having the ability to develop our own designs instead of relying on off-the-shelf solutions provides our customers with flexibility and adaptability that you just won’t find at other competitors.
Our Technical Service and Applications Engineers are always looking for ways to help our clients create marketable products. They work directly with our clients to understand their needs, and match them with our subject matter experts in polymer science, product design, and processing. Every day we partner with product development engineers, regulatory agencies, and raw material and equipment suppliers to deliver products that are easy to process, provide outstanding field performance, and meet environmental and regulatory standards.
Raw materials and finished goods are tested to assure that a customer’s products meet or exceed industry standards and comply, where necessary, with regulatory requirements. Our quality registrations provide the framework for our business management system from raw material purchases to shipping finished product.
We use sophisticated processes and systems to assure efficient and effective performance.
Our process engineers work in concert with the R&D, Manufacturing, Commercial groups, and directly with the customer as needed to deliver effective product and process designs.
Process design work is executed through a project approach that based on direct or indirect customer needs and goals. Our Process engineers help our customers benefit from our wealth of experience and capabilities in design and manufacture to get results that are perfectly matched to your specific formulations and processes.
Project execution, whether internal or in a joint arrangement with the customer, is carried out with creativity, flexibility, speed. For projects that involve transfer of customer information and technology, we control communications and execute work with utmost confidentiality.
We utilize barcodes that fully trace products moving through the buy-make-sell process from cradle-to-grave with absolute precision. Our process control computers control our manufacturing processes with unparalleled accuracy of composition and processing conditions. All process data are accumulated for further analysis and as a basis for continuous improvement. Our statistical systems assist us in data mining and analysis.
