Polyolefins

Plastics such as PTFE flood the medical industry daily. Examining PTFE’s past and present guides us towards its sustainable future.

Denmark leads in environmental initiatives, including recycling Styrofoam (EPS). Widely used in packaging and insulation, expanded polystyrene presents significant challenges in waste management.

The University of California, Berkeley, developed a new catalytic chemical process that has the potential to revolutionize plastic recycling by converting waste polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) into valuable monomers.

Selecting the right polypropylene grade for your project is crucial to ensuring optimal performance.

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.
