Foam injection molding is now a mainstream process, and the MuCell® Designer’s Guide equips engineers to master its technical complexity.

Learn to read material datasheets—MFI, rheology, HDT, modulus, shrinkage and CTE—to cut injection molding cycle time and avoid warpage and rework.

UK textiles recovery is collapsing under rising costs and public pressure. EPR remains the only workable route forward.

Colombia and Latin America advance circular plastics with eco-design, R&D, and regulation, proving circularity moves forward without a global treaty.

Understanding the complex relationships between fibers, melt flow, and microstructure characteristics can help leverage the benefits of this high-performance material.

Widely used in consumer goods, these specialty coatings give plastic surfaces a sleek, smooth, suede-like texture that enhances both look and touch.

A brief overview of the most relevant U.S. regulations established and emerging plastic manufacturers must comply with.

Dr. Prithu Mukhopadhyay, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, shares insights on microplastics and their impact.

Gate placement isn’t just a technical detail—it shapes everything from aesthetics to internal stress, shrinkage control, flow quality, and mold wear.

Microplastics and nanoplastics are widespread; current studies explore their sources, impacts, and engineering solutions for sustainability.

This is the second in a two-part series discussing adjusting your injection molding process to incorporate PCR.

Some microorganisms can “eat” plastic by using it as a carbon and energy source. These tiny organisms could inspire the recycling methods of tomorrow.
