Winter is here! We’re taking the time to count our blessings and be thankful. We’re excited to announce that we’ve been recognized by Boeing and received the 2015 Performance Excellence Award for being a superior supplier. It’s an honor to have our dedication recognized once again. This is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of the Polymer employees. Of course, we cannot be successful without the continued support of our customers. As we look towards 2017 we pledge to continue to be dedicated to providing superior service to our valued customers.

Further in this newsletter, you’ll find highlights about what Polymer has been working on, including our latest blog posts and trade shows we are attending. We hope you enjoy checking out what we’ve been up to lately, and we’re looking forward to continuing to find solutions that make for more energy-efficient products and a quieter world.

September 15, 2016 — Polymer Technologies, Inc. is pleased to announce that we are a recipient of the 2015 Boeing Performance Excellence Award. Every year, Boeing issues the award to recognize outstand suppliers who have achieved superior performance. We have maintained a silver composite performance rating for the entire 12-month performance period from Oct. 1, 2014 to Sept. 30, 2015.

Our POLYTECH® Heat Shields can meet virtually any specification for heat protection and are designed to reflect radiant heat and offer excellent protection to high heat exposure. The heat shield materials can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°F (537.78°C) of radiant heat as close as ¼” away from the heat source. All of the heat shield materials can be coated with a variety of adhesives to bond and protect many different surfaces including metal and plastic tubing, exhaust pipes, turbos, gas tanks, and more. Easy to apply, our heat shields are ideal for assembly line applications and installations.

We offer two new lines of anti-vibration engine mounts, ArmorFlex™ and SquishyFlex™. These mounts are suitable for use by manufacturers of generators, compressors, trucks, buses, off-highway equipment, construction equipment, and marine engines. The mounts are durable, drip-proof, and can withstand exposure to all forms of harsh weather. ArmorFlex™ offers an ideal axial to radial spring rate ratio for engines, generators and compressions. SquishyFlex™ is similar in structure and application to ArmorFlex™, but provides three different spring rates instead of two. Easy to install and fail-safe, these mounts remain captured and keep the isolated system from becoming a projectile.
