"From a materials standpoint, we have a
couple of new developments that we will
be promoting in the upcoming NTE in Or-
lando," Katherine says. "We're making a very
big push in the automotive market this year.
We have developed a high flow TPE geared
towards the window and capsulation sector
in the automotive manufacturing industry."
"There's a lot of glass breakage when you try
to put a seal around the glass, and these high
flowmaterials that we've developed helpwith
that issue and are above the competition in
both pricing and specific gravity standpoint,"
she continues. "A trend that we've seen in
the automotive industry is OEMs are always
looking to improve gas mileage, so one way
to do that is by reducing the weight of the
car. Our materials help make the automobile
lighter in weight versus TPVs or PVCs."
