Versatile, and Softens and Shapes In Use to Become More Comfortable

ROMULUS, MI (November 25, 2011) – With the goal of  eliminating the shortfalls of disposable PVC, PE and rubber gloves used in many industries, a new Maxelast® TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) has been formulated to offer numerous superior benefits.  Polymax Maxelast TPEs are sold exclusively in North America by Alliance Polymers & Services (APS).
