  1. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Food Closure/Sealing: • Caps • Lids • Hermetic seals • Opportunities for barrier systems • Opportunities for specialty seals

  2. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Fluid Delivery Industry • Internal valve components: • Butterfly • Gate • Check • Tremendous opportunities for new design with TPE over composite construction for straightforward value enhancement • Pipe seals (in PVC pipe systems) • >600 million components annually • Replacing SBR rubber over steel ring • Use in 2” to 22” diameter PVC pipes Replacing thermoset Rubber over ductile iron

  3. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Recreation/Sporting Goods • Watercraft components • Exercise equipment • Water and snow ski grips/systems • Bicycle & motorcycle grips • Specialty helmet pads • Use of low COF in specialty grips Non-skid surfaces

  4. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Office Furniture/Hardware • New armrest components with molded TPE skin over GLS gel insert • Chemically resistant guards/bumpers • New caster wheel technology using high adhesion bond of TPE over molded composites

  5. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Toys • Blow molded convolutes with molded end pieces • Toys that change color upon contact using thermochromatic TPEs • Overmolded special effects, colors with selected soft touch characteristics

  6. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Home Plumbing • Reverse osmosis systems – bladders and gaskets • Convoluted tubing/flexible hosing • Overmolded drain hose connectors • Plastic/TPE integral seals in plumbing/hardware • Composite/TPE integral stops and gates with NSF-listed seals

  7. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Automotive Components • TPEs to effectively bond to polyolefinic, styrenic and polyamide substrates • Ultra low durometer TPEs in luxury car bumpers • Low COF elastomeric skins atop polyolefinic substrates • Much softer urethane-based alloys for high tear strength bonded to engineering thermoplastics • Bonded seals/gaskets over polyolefins and polyamide in air handling systems

  8. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Kitchen Wares • Specialty TPEs for O/M onto nylon-based cooking tools • High surface COF for feet on cutting boards • Specialty bowl/lid combinations for products to be refrigerated • Specialty high heat clear TPEs in molded/blow molded designs • Silicone rubber replacement opportunities with two classes of GLS TPEs • Dishwasher safe/effective chemical resistant TPEs for cleaning and cutting products

  9. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES House Wares/Appliances • Specialty seals and gaskets in icemakers/garbage disposals – new design breakthrough through combined components • Housing integrated with vibration dampers in disposals/ dishwashers • Molded feet for small appliances • Two shot handles for large appliances with specialty soft grip TPEs over gas assist plastic substrates • Walter filtering system seals/gaskets • Door seals and bumpers • Sump boots in dishwashers • Soft grip handles in hand-held appliances

  10. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Medical Instruments • GLS TPE grades bond to: • PC - Nylon • ABS - PP • PC/ABS - PC/PBT • Reusable/re-sterilizable instruments • Soft grip applications: • Dental instruments • Medical instruments

  11. EXAMPLES OF NEW O/M AND 2-SHOT MOLDED OPPORTUNITES Power Tools/Lawn & Garden • Integrated strain relief/vibration damper characteristics • Ability to bond to range of polyamides • Nylon 6 - neat polymer • Nylon 6-6 - short glass fiber filled • Nylon 6-12 - LFRT version • Broad I.M. process window vs. traditional TPEs • Dental instruments • Medical instruments • Plan to add 45A hardness products to current 60A product
