ETP Performance Enhancement Solutions for Sustainable Design

Faced with ambitious targets and global regulations focused on sustainability, the Automotive and Electronics industries are shifting to recyclable materials like glass-filled polyamides for metal replacement.  Kraton helps boost both impact and stiffness properties of polyamides to enable lightweight, thinner parts designed for recyclability. Target applications include EV Battery Enclosures, Thin-wall electronic connectors and structural parts. Nylon resin producers, compounders, automotive OEMs and Tier I manufacturers and electronics manufacturers are encouraged to attend.

Register to learn how Kraton’s latest innovations can help:

✅ Boost both impact performance and stiffness of glass-filled polyamides

✅ Reduce part thickness by as much as 20% for weight savings

✅ Optimize part production through injection molding

✅ Enhance sustainable design, including lowering LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
