Fighting Failure in Plastics

Although new plastic materials are tougher and processes more controllable, current economics are
continuing to drive the use of low-cost processors and resins—so perhaps it still shouldn’t be surprising
when a plastic part fails. However, experts in failure analysis say there are precautions that processors
and designers can take to ensure that “failure is not an option.”

Dow Corning uses Malvern Viscotek GPC to provide customers with in-depth polymer structure data

Posted: January 27, 2012
in

The installation of a multi-detection Viscotek TDAmax gel permeation chromatography (GPC) system from Malvern Instruments is enabling Dow Corning Europe S.A. in Belgium to meet customer demand for increasingly comprehensive polymer structure data. In addition, Dow Corning experts are saving resources by applying rapid, cost-effective GPC methods to pre-select the most promising new polymer candidates, significantly reducing the number of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigations required wherever possible.

SABIC’s New Lexan* EXL Copolymer Boosts Design Freedom For Next-Generation Miniaturized Photovoltaic Systems

Posted: December 16, 2011
in

SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business today announced a new, high-performance Lexan* EXL copolymer resin that addresses the fast-moving trend toward miniaturization of photovoltaic (PV) connectors and junction boxes. The enhanced electrical and flame-retardant performance of the new Lexan EXL resin grade enables designers to miniaturize the entire system by creating thin-wall parts, moving conductors closer together and integrating junction box systems – helping to drive down solar energy costs and increase efficiency. New Lexan EXL resin helps customers strengthen their competitive footing by contributing significantly to the benefits of PV systems and further accelerating the move to solar energy.
