Fifty years after its founding sees BASF Polyurethanes GmbH in Lemförde continuing its success story. With the construction of a new production complex for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) the enterprise is making the biggest single investment at the site to date. “This project will sustainably strengthen our position as market leader in the specialty plastic TPU and underlines the great importance and future direction of the Lemförde site,” explained the two Managing Directors Dr. Uwe Hartwig and Dr. René Lochtman on the occasion of the groundbreaking ceremony for the new buildings.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of Smithers Information Ltd's new book "Polymers in Cementitious Materials" to their offering.
Many of the objects we encounter are made of polymers — long chains of repeating molecules. Networks of polymers form manmade materials such as plastics, as well as natural products such as rubber and cellulose.
Metabolix, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBLX), an innovation-driven bioscience company focused on delivering sustainable solutions for plastics, chemicals and energy, today announced that it will be an exhibitor at the 7th Annual European Bioplastics Conference, being held November 6 and 7, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The Company will feature its MveraTM B5008 compostable-certified film grade resin at the conference.
Today, Trelleborg inaugurates two operations in India, co-located in one facility in Bengaluru. The facility will develop and produce industrial antivibration systems and specialty molded components for various industrial segments. Industrial antivibration systems are used for vibration damping in, for example, rail, off-highway equipment and other industrial segments. Specialty molded components, molded polymer materials, are found in a range of industrial applications and in such industries as telecommunications, energy and general industry.
Looking for both a highly durable material to withstand heavy use and a reliable material to transport patient-critical items, Pevco turned to Eastman Chemical Company’s Tritan™ copolyester for its Pevco TEC-6™, a pneumatic tube carrier. Tritan provides the durability, lasting clarity and chemical resistance needed with such a device.
Better control over the delivery of drugs to specific sites in the body at specific times would reduce unwanted side effects and improve medical treatment dramatically. ‘Smart’ polymers are promising materials for controlling drug delivery, since they change their properties in response to specific stimuli.
