High-Performance Plastics for Houseware Applications

Aurora Material Solutions offers Custom Compounds Designed for Elasticity, Resilience & Long-Term Performance

Kitchenware & Food Storage Solutions

Kitchen products require materials that combine food safety with durability and heat resistance.

AuroraGuard™ ABS compounds have supplanted aluminum, zinc, ceramics, and glass in food processors, blenders, and small kitchen appliances, combining the strength and rigidity of acrylonitrile and styrene polymers with polybutadiene rubber toughness.

AuroraGuard™ PC (polycarbonate) compounds offer outstanding impact strength, excellent colorability, and superior heat resistance, with FDA, REACH, and NSF compliance for food-contact applications. These materials are ideal for food storage containers, mixing bowls, measuring cups, and kitchen utensils that require durability and dishwasher safety.

Home Organization & Storage Products

Storage and organization products require materials that combine impact resistance with lightweight design and stackability.

AuroraGuard™ PC/ABS alloys provide the perfect balance of impact strength, heat resistance, and dimensional stability for storage bins, closet organizers, drawer dividers, and modular shelving systems.

AuroraTec™ rigid PVC compounds offer excellent dimensional stability and resistance to warping, making them ideal for stackable storage containers that must maintain their shape under load. Available in recyclable grade series to support sustainability initiatives.

Aurora Material Solutions offers custom thermoplastics solutions for aerospace applications

Aurora Material Solutions offers Impact-Resistant & Durable Plastics for Structural Components for Aerospace Applications

Bathroom & Personal Care Accessories

Bathroom environments demand materials that resist moisture, mold, and chemical exposure from personal care products.

AuroraGuard™ PC compounds provide outstanding impact strength and moisture resistance for soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, shower caddies, and grooming tool housings.

AuroraFlex™ flexible PVC compounds can be formulated with biocide additives for antimicrobial protection in bathroom storage and personal care applications. Available from 35A to 95A Shore A durometer with excellent moisture resistance and easy-clean surfaces.

Consumer Goods & Lifestyle Products

Everyday consumer goods require materials that deliver durability, aesthetic appeal, and cost-effectiveness.

AuroraGuard™ MABS (clear ABS) outperforms polystyrene, SAN, and PMMA for impact resistance while providing excellent clarity and processability for decorative accessories and lifestyle products.

AuroraFlex™ SBS and SEBS compounds offer multiple TPE/TPR chemistries for high-performance durability and easy processing. Available from 10A to 50D durometer hardness with clear and oil-free grades for specialized houseware applications including soft-touch grips, container lids, and flexible components.
