The new series of six grades delivers a combination of high modulus and ductility to enable lighter, thinner and stronger parts.

Masterbatch grades have been developed to meet demands from manufacturers for masterbatches with pigments that can withstand multiple heat histories at temperatures exceeding 350°C. Newly developed permanent electrically conductive and ESD compound grades will also be on show.

Featured products include HDPE and PP-based unidirectional tapes for automotive and industrial applications, a carbon fiber/polyetherimide composite aircraft seat back, and a carbon-fiber reinforced polycarbonate composite laminate in a smart tablet cover.

Ube Industries did not conduct tests on some low-density polyethylene products for power cables delivered to 50 companies and falsified data for shipping, dating back to the 1990s.
