EMERGE™ Advanced Resins are used throughout the new Currant Smart
Outlet
BERWYN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Trinseo
(NYSE: TSE) a global materials solutions provider and manufacturer of
plastics, latex binders and synthetic rubber, announced that its EMERGE™
Advanced Resins can be found in the Currant Smart Outlet, a smart home
product manufactured by consumer electronics company Currant.
With the smart outlet and a corresponding mobile app, consumers receive
a breakdown of their power usage as well as personalized suggestions
powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to help them reduce energy
consumption.
Trinseo has been supplying EMERGE™
Advanced Resins for the application during the prototype stage and
now in production. The materials can be seen throughout the application
ranging from the outer housing to internal components.
Trinseo’s EMERGE™ Advanced Resins are specialty compounds that use
Trinseo’s proprietary CALIBRE™ Polycarbonate Resins in their
formulation. “This particular application shows the versatility of
Trinseo’s CALIBRE™ Polycarbonate Resins as a base material,” said Tony
Kam, TS&D technical development specialist at Trinseo’s Tsing Yi
facility in Hong Kong. “The materials have all been designed to meet the
specifications of each part or component, including design and weight
requirements, UL safety standards, and aesthetics.”
Currant selected Trinseo for several reasons including for the company’s
sample stock program, its ability to provide technical service support
from prototype to mass production, and its ability to coordinate support
seamlessly between North America and Asia Pacific.
Another reason for Currant’s choice was Trinseo’s color matching
capability, including its ability to achieve an ultra-bright white.
Trinseo’s color lab in Hsinchu, Taiwan as well as its newest color
capabilities in Mussolente, Italy – resulting from its acquisition of
Italian Thermoplastic
Elastomer (TPE) manufacturer API Applicazioni Plastiche Industriali
S.p.A. (API) – truly distinguish the company in the marketplace.
