FORTE™ SERIES

The Forte™ Series of nanocomposites is made with a pure nano-filler system, using either tubes (HNT) or clay. Thermoplastic polyolefins and modified polyolefins are compounded with our nano-fillers to produce excellent properties, and can be used as substitutes for glass filled polyolefins and engineered thermoplastics. The Forte products have been used in automotive barrier films and tubing, as well as permeation resistance containers.
