  • Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) Market Growth Continues
    into industries including medical, electronics, sporting goods, consumer products, and automotive. The polymers' softness and suppleness, in particular, add consumer appeal to products made with TPEs. Thermoplastic elastomers are low-modulus, flexible materials. Their building-block polymers vary and can
  • Breakthrough in Low Gloss and Abrasion Resistance of Molded-in-Color Automotive Interior Components (.pdf)
    to the perception of quality that they impart to the consumer. Challenges of Low Gloss with Molded-in-Color Materials. The predominant molded-in-color thermoplastics (PP, TF-PP/TPO, ABS, PA/ABS,. PC/ABS) typically produce gloss readings in the 2-5 unit range (Gardner 60 degree. measurement) on textured
  • Film and Adhesive Suppliers Respond to Durable Goods Market Pressure (.pdf)
    The drive for engineering innovation intensifies the need for nameplate, label and decal development during initial product design. Although consumer spending is down, the demands driving engineering advancements and innovations for durable goods continue to be strong, as does the market pressure
  • Plastics Industry: Laboratory Services Important for Quality, R&D, and Safety
    A quick glance around and one can find a widening variety of plastic products in both consumer and industrial applications. This increase in the use of plastic materials is partly enabled by advances in material science and technology, and partly enabled by the continuing need for cost and weight
  • Coloring outside the lines
    Thanks to engineered thermoplastics and more precise color-matching technologies, designers can satisfy consumer demands with a nearly unlimited color palette. M.A. Hanna Color and Additives EDITED BY Jean M. Hoffman The PT Cruiser from Daimler-Chrysler features vibrantly colored interior trim
  • Wider niche for TPUs
    . In this regard, PVCs (polyvinyl chlorides) are often out of the picture because of consumer complaints and some thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have limited performance. This has opened the door for a range of aliphatic and aromatic thermoplastic urethanes (TPUs) made from
  • Electronic Cable Assemblies
    Electronic cable assemblies are found on medical products, military equipment, industrial controls and machinery, and all kinds of consumer electronics. Electronic cables can be defined as cables that transmit control signals or information, or that supply low current power typically below 5 amps
  • Advances in Powder Processing Technologies for Chemical, Food and Mineral Applications
    Powder producers in chemical, mineral and pharmaceutical markets are exploring new processing methods to isolate smaller average particle sizes and tighter overall particle size distributions. Consumer demand for higher quality end products is driving these producers to explore new technologies
