- Twaron and Technora para-aramid fibers, which provides excellent wear resistance and low abrasiveness to thermoplastic components
- Automotive parts made with Panlite polycarbonate resin, including a panoramic roof system, door handle and interior parts, plus other applications such as an electrical smart meter, LED lamp, flame-retardant sheet, surface hardened sheet and optical lens.
- Polyester film for electrical and electronics applications, including photovoltaic cells, wiring harnesses and motor insulations.
- Biofront bioplastic featuring much higher melting point than conventional bioplastic, plus hydrolytic stability and semi-crystallization achieved in just 20-25% of the time required by conventional bioplastic.
The Indian plastics industry, which has averaged 15% growth for several years, is expected to see consumption exceed 15 million metric tons in 2015, which would make India the world’s third largest consumer of plastics (source: Plastindia Foundation).
