Polyolefins

How new technologies are shaping mass production? Emerging technologies, such as 3D printing, reverse engineering, and 3D scanning, have revolutionized product design and development. 

Polymer bead foams involve scientific preparation and molding processes that drive their widespread use across industries.

Dissolution or purification is an option for recycling polymers without altering their chemical structure while ensuring energy efficiency. Nevertheless, solvents may be an environmental concern.

The TotalRecycle MRF in Pennsylvania led a groundbreaking project that effectively sorted and repurposed flexible plastic packaging (FPP) into marketable materials.

Researchers discovered how to break down polymers effectively, without using high temperatures or pressures.

When selecting the best injection molding machine for your manufacturing needs, several brands stand out for their innovation, quality, and reliability. This article will compare six leading brands.

Plastics Injection molding accounts for nearly 50% of all plastic processing methods. Compared to other processes like blow molding or thermoforming, it is preferred for its ability to produce complex parts with high repeatability and minimal waste.

Direct fluorination is a widely used surface treatment in the packaging industry to enhance barrier properties. However, it has recently been linked to PFAS contamination in HDPE and PP.

PFAS are everywhere. As laboratory characterization techniques evolve, governmental entities adjust.

Plastics training is a significant component of employee development. PE will present the main sources around the world to keep trained your team based on innovation and research for the industry.

Why an assessment of the next gen of injection molding is needed? The global injection molding market was valued at USD 265.1 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028.

The study revealed that only the biodegradable-compostable packaging fully decomposed. Oxo-biodegradables showed minimal degradation.
