Extrusion

Mechanical recycling can change the color response, surface quality, and mechanical performance of thermochromic polypropylene used in smart packaging.

Real-time resin diagnostics help processors monitor melt behavior, manage recycled-content variability, and improve plastics quality control.

Carbon black pigments limit NIR sorting, raising recyclability, compliance, and cost challenges for black plastic packaging.

PVC remains one of the world’s most versatile and widely used polymers, but producing high-performance PVC products requires far more than selecting the right resin. From pipe and window profiles to foam board and flooring, success depends on understanding the relationship between gelation, fusion, additives, and processing conditions.

Engineers use machine learning algorithms to map polymer degradation, replacing physical trials with precise predictive models for industrial extrusion pipelines.

Engineers eliminate calcination emissions by encapsulating waste inside cross-linked polymers, creating load-bearing, modular blocks for rapid deployment.

Ultrasonic extrusion boosts HDPE barrier performance, offering a path to recyclable, monomaterial packaging without multilayers.

Upcycled plastic becomes durable, low‑carbon building materials as Kubik transforms waste into affordable, interlocking components for sustainable construction.

Small errors in additive feeding can create disproportionate effects on formulation accuracy, process stability, and final part quality.

Polyolefins are increasingly replacing conventional materials as encapsulant films in photovoltaic solar panels.
