SABIC Innovative Plastics, a world leader in engineering thermoplastic solutions, has collaborated with Swiss software maker KISSsoft AG to take the guesswork out of plastic gear design. To accelerate the trend toward replacing metals with high-performance, durable and versatile thermoplastic compounds.
Insulgard, the industry leader in architectural security products, today announced a new window system that can protect emergency and security workers from the battering of hurricane- and tornado-strength winds, ballisti...
An injection molded elastomeric diaphragm that constantly rolls and unrolls over the drive shaft of a mixer is a critical component in a patented single-use mixing system that enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to prevent cross-contamination while eliminating the need for cleaning and sterilizing traditional stainless steel equipment between batches.
Minus 20 degrees Celsius: A frozen pizza must not get any warmer than that before it makes its way into the consumer’s freezer. And polyurethane rigid-foam insulation made by BASF Polyurethanes is an integral part of this logistical “cooling feat”. But the insulation not only has to be efficient in terms of retaining the cold but also has to behave sustainably when it comes to energy and material consumption.
Drawing upon over 30 years experience - Porvair Filtration Group has developed expertise to offer optimum manufacturing solutions of sintered porous plastic components using a wide range of cGMP manufacturing techniques.
Whenever goods are transported in large unit loads – be it by sea, land or air – they are usually consolidated on pallets for easier handling. As a rule, products made of wood are used for this purpose. A new generation of transport pallets made of plastic is being launched onto the market.
With the aid of CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering), time and money can be saved when designing new plastic parts, as expensive prototypes can frequently be dispensed with. Multiplast in Austria and BASF have exploited this benefit during the development of a plastic valve for a new generation of fire extinguishers.
A universal test specimen whose behavior can be predicted virtually and verified experimentally is one prerequisite for gaining knowledge about fatigue strength and durability. For this reason that BASF presented such a test specimen a little less than one year ago.
Wherever the most demanding technical requirements must be satisfied - in the automotive and machinery industries but also in the household appliance and leisure sectors - designers have often had to rely on metal in the...
Thanks to the beneficial combination of characteristics, it is now possible to produce, at justifiable system costs, under-the-hood components that are exposed to very hot air and in this way contribute to a significant weight reduction from polymeric materials using a new grade of PA 66.
