Specialty thermoplastic compounds from Lavergne Performance Compounds provide conductive, structural, wear resistant, flame retardant, and color properties in over 25 engineering resins and alloys.

We provide material solutions to your most challenging problems. Our primary business is to develop products which solve your technical and economic issues, whether they are design, processing, tooling, or secondary operations.

Halogen-Free Flame Retardant Compounds


Halogen-free Compounds lower smoke and toxicity, and comply with halogen-prohibiting labels so products can be sold worldwide.

Product Characteristics

• Typical additives are phosphorous-containing, nitrogen-containing, and hydrated mineral systems in nylon, PET, PBT, PTT, and inherently flame resistant resins. Other resin systems will be available in the near future.
• Non-corrosive to tools and equipment, preventing costly processing damage.

Laser Etching Materials

Technical advances in computer-programmable laser equipment over the last decade have been followed by development of more laser-markable grades of resins as well as custom colorant and additive packages for use with a variety of plastics from polyolefins, polyesters, PC, nylons, and TPEs.

Today's laser-markable plastics offer high contrast and, in many cases, a contrasting color rather than just black or white. Even degrees of shading are now possible.

Lavergne Performance Compounds provides eight different grades of laser etchable in PBT, Nylon, and PET polyester.

Typical Applications

• Computer/business equipment housings and components
• Appliances
• Telecommunications
• Building and structural components
• Commercial transportation
