Semi-Finished Products

Researchers developed a novel, bio-based composite, enhanced with essential oil and chitosan, designed specifically for cosmetics packaging.

Social commerce shifts beauty packaging into feeds. Engineers must control gloss, haze, defects, and durability while meeting barrier targets.

SPE, in collaboration with the SPE Injection Molding Division and the SPE Product Design & Development Division, has launched a new awards program: SPE’s IMPACT: Injection Molding Performance Awards.

PVC extends from flexible, RF-weldable coated fabrics to rigid, load-bearing profiles in buildings and flooring systems.

A new sodium-based method upcycles PTFE into fluorochemicals at room temperature, reducing PFAS risk and recovering valuable fluorine.

Plasticizer migration erodes performance and elevates compliance risk in PVC products. To counter this, surface engineering gives manufacturers direct, interface-level control.

Structural packaging design goes beyond function, shaping brand identity, recognition, and emotional connection with consumers.

Numerical simulations enhance the reliability and efficiency of epoxy potting processes in electronics.

The cellulose bioplastics market is rapidly expanding, driven by investments from companies like Amazon and leading research laboratories in biodegradable materials.

Reverse engineering (RE) in plastics processing has become an essential method for product reproduction, improvement, and optimization. It involves a thorough understanding of the design, manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance stages.
