Injection Molding

Polyurethane (PU) Insulation is highly efficient and widely employed. The escalating demand for energy consumption standards underscores the need to repower it.

Polyurethane (PU) is a highly adaptable polymer recognized in the biomedical field. Its ability to be tailored by adjusting its soft and hard segments grants it superior mechanical strength and biocompatibility.

Sustainability management is a continuing process that must become an integral part of the business operations. Sustainability management is not a single act but a process. 

Swiss packaging machinery manufacturer PackSys Global and California’s Origin Materials have jointly developed a PET bottle cap that they say can help enable easier recycling by offering a mono-material solution to PET bottle makers.

Family and multi-cavity tools are two different approaches, and the choice between them can significantly impact production, efficiency, cost, and flexibility.

Recent studies have delved into the profound effects of plasticizers on the crystallization behavior of linear polymers, shedding light on their impact on nucleation, growth, and melting processes.

A Product Carbon Footprint calculator, unveiled by BARLOG Plastics, aims to forecast recyclability from the development phase for injection molded parts.

The Holy Grail 2.0 initiative led by the AIM-European Brands Association and powered by Digimarc is transforming the recycling landscape through innovative technology.

Brands and package designers are developing seaweed-based packaging as an alternative to single-use plastics. Companies such as PlantSea Ltd., Notpla Ltd., Sway Innovation and Loliware Inc. are all active in the space.

The future of the plastics industry emerges as a focal point, in a world inundated with crisis reports and the relentless hustle of daily life. Hence, it’s crucial to take a step back and examine the industry through different lenses.

Most plastics processing sites use gas simply for space heating but some processes use gas as part of the process, e.g., rotational molding.  Where gas is used for hot water only then this is generally relatively constant over the year. For space heating, the gas use load will be related to the weather conditions (how cold it is) and the weather is then a ‘condition’ driver for gas use. 

Employed by myriad sectors ranging from fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and retail packaging to pharmaceuticals, construction, and even government identification initiatives, these technologies have played a pivotal role. Taggants imbue plastic products with an additional layer of security and authentication, presenting a formidable challenge to counterfeiters who attempt to replicate or alter these items.
