Regulation

Plastics such as PTFE flood the medical industry daily. Examining PTFE’s past and present guides us towards its sustainable future.

PFAS regulation. Should they stay, or should they go? Legislative insights offer answers to common questions.

The release of injection-molded thermoplastic parts requires long-lasting and cost-intensive aging tests. A simulation-based approach to assess the aging of thermoplastic parts would constitute an essential asset for any company.

Recycling fluoropolymers is complex but essential for environmental resource efficiency and several industries that depend upon their properties.

Direct fluorination is a widely used surface treatment in the packaging industry to enhance barrier properties. However, it has recently been linked to PFAS contamination in HDPE and PP.

PFAS are everywhere. As laboratory characterization techniques evolve, governmental entities adjust.

Foam plastic insulation offers numerous benefits, making it an excellent choice for a variety of applications.

Fluoropolymers enhance various applications across multiple industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, packaging, and medical.

The study revealed that only the biodegradable-compostable packaging fully decomposed. Oxo-biodegradables showed minimal degradation.

McCallah Ferry, a University of Akron researcher, conducted a study on granular activated carbon (GAC) filters to determine if removing PFAS from water is possible.  The research confirms that GAC filters effectively remove PFAS, ensuring safe drinking water.
