Advancing Together.
We innovate to drive our customers’ growth. From electrification to sustainability, our products are designed to perform against the most pressing technical challenges – helping you focus your time and resources on big ideas.
Low-carbon materials
From pre- and post-consumer recycled materials to an aggressive roadmap to reduce our emissions, we have solutions to help you lower your Scope 3 emissions and meet your PCF goals.
High-performance FRs
Thin walls, high voltages, zero flames and non-halogenated – it’s a lot to ask. The answer is Starflam®, a broad portfolio of polyamide-based flame-retardant materials designed for an increasingly electric world.
Combi-batches
Reputations are built on consistent performance and reinforced with impeccable visuals. Our EssetiPlast combi-batches offer both performance and visual effects in one package, making production more efficient without sacrificing your reputation.
Your innovations have the power to change the world. We partner with our customers to bring their innovations to market using materials that perform reliably and technical expertise in materials, manufacturing and applications built over decades.
Lower-PCF flame-retardant materials
For an electrical component manufacturer, we combined the performance of Starflam® with our ReDefyne™ recycled compounds to lower the product carbon footprint by more than 25%.
Renewable feedstocks, same quality to scale
We are working with several customers to test bio-circular polyamide 66 made with raw materials derived from bio-based and circular feedstocks, such as used cooking oil. Using ISCC+ certified mass-balance production, the end products will have approximately 25% lower carbon footprint without sacrificing performance.
We made a promise to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2030*. We're ahead of schedule and broadening our focus.
From more sustainable, innovative materials to an unwavering commitment to operate without compromise, we have a lot to say on sustainability.
Our new lines of healthcare grade nylon 6,6, 610 and 612 are designed to meet the stringent quality and testing requirements for healthcare. Look for MED in our HiDura and Acteev portfolios to see which healthcare applications we can help you advance.
Flame-retardant PA66, PA6 and PA66,6 resins and compounds
Halogenated and non-halogenated resins and compounds with exceptional, UL yellow card-certified flame-retardant performance. The Starflam portfolio is designed to meet the highest standards, from tracking resistance and glow-wire ignition, to UL94 (up to 5VA) for high-voltage connectors, housings and disconnects.
Ascend’s e-range solutions will help you go farther in e-mobility. Our Starflam flame-retardant polyamides deliver a new level of safety to batteries in electric vehicles. And we're reducing NVH at the source with our application development support and new Vydyne AVS, anti-vibration system technology. Let us help you make EVs safer, more reliable, secure and comfortable.
Since 2019, we've grown both our footprint and our portfolio to serve our customers globally. We are now in Mexico and India and we are building an HMD plant in China. We have also established innovation centers in Detroit, Pensacola, Suzhou and Paris.
In short, we're growing to help you advance.
Combining sector and materials expertise, our technical service partners are ready to help you solve for specific challenges, without sacrificing performance.
