Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are unique materials that combine the elastic properties of rubber with processability. These polymers exhibit elastic behavior due to thermo-reversible cross-links and phase separation.

Extrusion troubleshooting draws the interconnection between the pillars of materials engineering, processing technology, and product development, bridging the gap between theory and praxis.

Microencapsulated flame retardants (MFRs) revolutionize the landscape of fire protection for polymer materials. They leverage encapsulation technology to enhance performance while addressing environmental and safety concerns. 

Antibacterial polymers are engineered to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, making them essential in healthcare and public settings.

Family and multi-cavity tools are two different approaches, and the choice between them can significantly impact production, efficiency, cost, and flexibility.

AQUACHILL™ Dispersion coating emerges as an innovative solution to address cool-touch performance in bedding clothes.

In today’s global market, the importance of transparency and sustainability cannot be overstated. The European Union has declared that by 2030, Digital Product Passports will be mandatory for some products sold within its territory.

Recent advances have shown that natural and waste-derived fillers, like eggshell powder (ESP), can greatly enhance the properties of composite materials.

Nanotechnology offers techniques for degrading plastics that help address pollution issues caused by improper disposal.

Sustainability certifications like The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS can enhance brand reputation and open up new markets.

Microencapsulation enhances the performance of additives in a variety of plastics applications. This technology is invaluable for incorporating additives that possess explosive properties, are challenging to handle, exhibit high reactivity, or are PCMs.
