“Our new lab allows us to test and compare materials to find what is best suited for our customer’s needs”, says Roger Huarng, co-owner of APS Elastomers.
In addition to full laboratory services, the recent purchase of BT25 Pelletizer enables APS to blend small proprietary batches for fast turnaround time; assisting their customers with a broad range of custom blends, including color concentrates that are FDA, RoHS, CONEG, and NSF compliant and heavy-metal free.
