Growth Catalysts
- Automotive Weight Reduction – Foamed plastics replace heavier solid polymer and metal parts in EV interiors, under-the-hood components, and panels.
- Material Efficiency Pressures – Global plastic taxes and recycling mandates incentivize volume reduction and recyclability, both supported by microcellular formats.
- Electronics Miniaturization – Lightweight structural foams enable thinner housings and better thermal properties in devices.
- Cost Savings – Up to 30% less polymer used per part lowers production costs at scale.
- Sustainability Shift – Supercritical CO2 and bio-based polymers reduce environmental impact across lifecycle.
