and power of their product range, but

3. “Nothing will impact how things are made,
and what they are capable of, more than
the materials manufacturers use to make
those things. New materials change both the
manufacturing process and the end result for
designers, engineers, and consumers alike.”
Scientific American
5. That’s why manufacturers must
focus on the most fundamental
issue of all to secure competitive
advantage – the materials they
use to make their products.
10. The bottom line: businesses
unable to offer high performing
products at attractive prices will
find themselves left behind by
more fleet-of-foot competitors.
11. Specialty polymers are
increasingly becoming
the default option for
manufacturers seeking
better performance,
quality and durability
under more stringent
testing conditions.
12. So switch to high
performance polymers
and start making better
use of them – rely less
on traditional materials
such as metal and glass.
18. Consumers want safe storage
for the increasing quantities of
foodstuffs they keep, and kitchen
utensils that remain stiff and
strong even when used at very
high temperatures.
22. High performance polymers offer greater design
flexibility, but they also reduce the time taken to
get new products to market.
23. But how can manufacturers
secure these benefits while
remaining price competitive?
24. But how can manufacturers
secure these benefits while
remaining price competitive?
The key is to recognize that
focusing exclusively on either
performance or price can
sacrifice an important element
of the value proposition that
consumers now expect.
25. If you’re still purchasing materials
in that way, you risk losing
business to competitors that
have refocused their sourcing and
supply chain practices.
26. In the search for the right balance between
price, performance, and power, high
performance polymers will very often
represent the best opportunity to deliver.
27. Now is the time to shift mindsets.
Make the switch.

of science fiction into part of your everyday routine. Download
