New Resins Products

Polycarbonate Resins offer scratch and abrasion resistance.

Available in wide range of colors, Lexan DMX resins feature special polycarbonate co-polymer that provides surface hardness without need for hard coating. Materials eliminate secondary coating operations and environmental impact from VOCs. Resins are suitable for transparent applications such as soft keys, infrared lenses, bezels, and screens.

Plastic Resins target global automotive manufacturers.

Chemical, thermal, and impact resistant Valox iQ and Xenoy iQ resins are derived from 85% post-consumer plastic waste and manufactured with process intended to conserve non-renewable fuel resources and reduce CO2 emissions. Valox iQ is made with polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)-based polymers, while Xenoy iQ is alloy of polycarbonate and PBT-based polymers. Resins are suited for automotive...
