Without PFAS, extrusion systems lose their tolerance for small mechanical flaws. What once ran unnoticed now drives degradation, buildup, and instability.

AI control for recycled plastics stabilizes injection molding despite resin variability, reducing defects and improving operator confidence with explainable models.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a popular method in the research and development of electronics that use conductive polymers.

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

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

Blind box toys and collectibles have surged globally, bringing a new niche to the plastic industry.

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

Pet product manufacturers are embracing recycled plastics and long-life design to set new benchmarks for sustainability.

As industries strive to integrate recycled materials into mainstream manufacturing, researchers continue to explore ways to enhance the usability of post-industrial recycled polypropylene (PIR-PP).

Developing a greener plastic industry starts with defining clear and actionable strategies.
