Fenner Dunlop polymer programs

Fenner Dunlop — Fenner Dunlop silicone, polyethylene, and specialty plastic sourcing built for faster qualification.

Coordinate elastomer performance, HDPE and PE resin selection, foam board requirements, and packaging plastics documentation through one technical material desk.

Compliance conversations are framed before samples ship.

REACH

Substance review

SVHC and restricted substance questions are tied to the product family and target geography.

RoHS

Electronics fit

Material declarations can be prepared for automation, control and equipment customers.

FDA

Food-contact path

Polymer and elastomer inquiries can flag 21 CFR considerations when the application needs it.

ISO

Process discipline

Quality discussions focus on traceability, change control and sample-stage documentation.

Application environments

Material requirements vary by where the part fails.

Automotive rubber sealing

Automotive & mobility

Seals, vibration control, interior soft touch and adhesive systems that need repeatable documentation.

Flexible packaging film line

Packaging & converting

Resins and tackifier systems evaluated for adhesion, clarity, migration and line stability.

Industrial hose assembly

Industrial components

Elastomer choices for hose, profile, sheet and molded part programs exposed to fatigue and fluids.

Construction polymer membrane

Construction materials

Polymer-modified systems assessed for aging, tack retention, UV exposure and field installation tolerance.

Buyer feedback

What Technical Sourcing Teams Value

“The silicone grease conversation started with temperature, seal material and maintenance interval instead of a generic catalog page. That saved our reliability group a full review cycle.”

Maintenance Engineering LeadIndustrial Equipment OEM

“Fenner Dunlop’s sealant data let our facade consultant compare movement and cure behavior before we requested submittal packages for three building zones.”

Envelope Procurement ManagerCommercial Construction Group

“For medical trial batches, the team understood why dispersion handling notes and documentation timing mattered as much as material availability.”

Inquiry

Send the use case once, then let the material discussion become practical.

Include the current material, failure mode, target launch date and any compliance requirement. We will respond with the questions that actually shape a rubber or TPU recommendation.

  • Application-fit review before price discussion
  • Sampling notes for sourcing and engineering teams
  • Documentation route for quality approval
