Consumer Products

Consumer Products include both information technology equipment and consumer electronics as the technology trend encourages convergence of these multi-media/functional devices. Leading market players compete on both technology and design in order to differentiate comprable products. A wide range of materials from synthetic polymers to metal alloys is available for product designers to select from. Depending on the chosen material, the product will incorporate the use of flame retardant additives when used in devices/systems with high voltage.
