Advanced Polymer Alloys (APA), a division of Ferro Corporation, is a leader in elastomer material innovations, and has been for more than two decades. We introduced Alcryn^®, the world’s first – and only – Melt-Processible Rubber^TM (MPR) in 1984. It’s the premier material for applications that demand the exceptional performance, look, and feel of vulcanized rubber.

Over the years, we’ve continued to develop new polymers that help our customers achieve excellent performance in their products. Today, we offer you a complete range of material options with the world’s broadest line of Melt-Processible Elastomers (MPEs).

Your Partner in Product Design

Our personal approach to working with customers ensures that your needs are met with the optimal material for your new product designs. To that end, our technical support staff will work with you on an individual basis – listening carefully to your product design challenges, considering each performance property that is critical to your application, and offering expert material suggestions. If you have a unique need, our  R&D staff will work with you to custom-compound an alloy that matches your specs precisely. As your partner in product design, we help bridge the gap between your product vision and the realities of design engineering.
