Many products we use every day are made from nonwoven fabrics, including home furnishings, disposable medical products, and automotive parts and interiors. Nonwoven fabrics can be treated with moisture repellents as rolled goods. This makes them more durable, able to stay dry longer, release stains easier, and provide a barrier to harmful fluids. What are […]

Once the convention center was completed, it needed to stand the test of time…literally. A job for fluoropolymer […]
Many industrial equipment parts and components use rubber seals to protect them from harmful chemicals, fluids and gases. Shaft seals, cylinder head gaskets, oil seals and packers all require rubber seals when used in harsh environments and applications such as the automotive, processing and oil & gas industries. These parts and components rely on rubber-to-metal […]

Using ethanol, biodiesel and other biofuels are becoming commonplace as we seek alternatives to nonrenewable oil resources and try to reduce harmful emissions. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, roughly 97% of gasoline in the U.S. contains some ethanol. The problem is that these biofuels and additives are extremely harsh on vehicle fuel systems […]
Once again we were excited to be a part of the Offshore Technology Conference. This event attracts oil and gas industry professionals from over 100 countries to share ideas about meeting global energy demands. At OTC we introduced AFLAS® 600X fluoroelastomers, which we developed especially for molded products like durable packers, bladders, gaskets and O-rings. […]
A new study from AAA reveals that consumer interest in electric vehicles remains high and that more than 30 million Americans are likely to buy an electric vehicle for their next car. With rising sales, longer ranges and lower costs, AAA predicts a strong future for electric vehicles. But did you know that our AFLAS […]
Architects recognize that ETFE film is a high-performance building material for membrane structures, facades and roofs. This material makes it possible to create moveable, semi-transparent shell structures that are dramatic, colorful and brilliantly illuminated from within. That’s why it’s been used in some of the world’s most creative architectural designs. Moreover, ETFE offers environmental advantages. […]
It’s always been a major challenge to protect buildings and public infrastructure from nature’s elements. Take bridges, for example. According to the 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, 9.1% of the U.S.’s 614,387 bridges are “structurally deficient.” This is most likely because almost 40% of them are 50 years or older. AGC formulators continually strive to develop resins for […]
