rockets to medical devices and chemical plants. We work closely with them to understand their individual
challenges and continually improve our technology and processes in order to deliver customized solutions.
We approach polymer development from three perspectives: high performance
to ensure the required precision, density, and capacity in leading-edge industries; high
durability to withstand extended usage in extreme environments such as
space; and high quality to deliver the best products and services in the
most efficient manner.
