couple of new developments that we will
be promoting in the upcoming NTE in Or-

"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,"

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."
