• Scratch-Resistant, Transparent Polycarbonates with Eco-Compliant Flame Properties (.pdf)
  Polycarbonate resins possessing high surface hardness and improved scratch resistance have been developed for injection molding applications. Due to their transparent nature and good balance of physical and mechanical properties, these resins find applications in the business equipment, mobile...
• Case History: New Plant Incorporates Tried-and-True Feeders
  to toll-process for various companies. The company produces polycarbonate resins (PCs), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrenes (ABSs), polybutylene terephthalate (PBTs), and various polycarbonate alloys. These products, most of them proprietary compounds, are used in various applications in the automotive, consumer...
• How to develop a soft touch
  Designers under the gun to eliminate assembly and secondary operations are taking a hard look at multicomponent injection molding a process best known for putting nonslip grips on handheld consumer goods. The first load-bearing trim piece is made from a TPV overmolded reinforced nylon. The part...
• GE brings more good resins to life
  In addition to new Lexan resins, GE's also developed new high-performance polymers and engineered styrenic resins that target automotive, consumer electronics, business machines, and sports and leisure gear. Optical clarity, durability, and impact resistance make Lexan polycarbonate a popular...
