Thermoplastics

Look for opportunities to shorten each step of the molding cycle. To understand these opportunities, learn how the material behaves inside the mold.

The demand for sustainable, low-carbon materials is rising, driven by the global push toward decarbonization and the increasing focus on reducing carbon emissions.

Researchers have developed a breakthrough technique to improve the durability of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), one of the most widely used plastics.

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.

Researchers have now developed a bioinspired double-stranded yarn to harvest water from atmospheric fog efficiently.

PVDC is a synthetic polymer with exceptional barrier properties. It has transformed industries such as food packaging and medical products.

Molds must be engineered with precision to achieve optimal results, making mold life a key consideration. Several factors influence injection mold life, including material choice, operating conditions, design, and maintenance.

The injection molding market features diverse companies, each providing tailored solutions to meet specific needs.

Vinyl building materials have been essential in the construction industry. However, the environmental challenges associated with them have prompted an increasing focus on recycling efforts to minimize their impact.

Seawool is produced by grinding oyster shells into nanobeads combined with recycled polyester. This process upcycles the waste material, sparking a fabric revolution in sustainable textiles.

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

Integrating design, engineering, and sustainability is critical in modern manufacturing, especially large-scale production.
