Durables

The temperature that the polymer experiences upon entering the mold and during solidification directly affects several part properties, ranging from surface appearance to mechanical performance.

The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) recently hosted its annual event in Baltimore, bringing together over 150 professionals focused on the pressing issue of PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances).

Avantium and Studio Hoogvliet Jongerius showcase the versatility and beauty of PEF (Polyethylene Furanoate).

The tooling digitalization during the whole supply chain is vital for maximizing productivity, improving operational efficiency, and minimizing downtime. But how and with what tools?

LOWPOLY repurposes spent coffee grounds (SCGs) into functional furniture through large-format 3D printing.

The rotomolding industry is transforming technologically, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher precision, efficiency, and sustainability.

When we hear “recycled,” we often assume that the material originated from previously used products. However, “recycled” is evolving in rotomolding, driven by the need for more sustainable practices, market demand, and regulatory pressures.

Reverse engineering (RE) in plastics processing has become an essential method for product reproduction, improvement, and optimization. It involves a thorough understanding of the design, manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance stages.

In response to the shifting demands of the rotational molding industry, companies are developing pioneering technologies to reduce cycle times and integrate recycled content into advanced materials.

Incorporating recycled rubber as a filler in carbon black for NR/BR/SBR ternary blends offers a sustainable solution for the automotive tire industry, enhancing both performance and environmental impact.
