Arnitel® Eco is an innovative thermoplastic elastomer partially made from rapeseed oil. This revolutionary material from DSM Engineering Plastics (DSM) helps end-users reduce their carbon footprint. Innovation and environmental performance has been noticed and the Frost & Sullivan Green Excellence in Product Innovation Award was granted.
Elasto, a leader in the development and manufacture of custom formulated thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) have announced the latest development in their Mediprene range of medical grade TPEs - coloured compounds.
SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business, Chongqing Xiyong Micro-electronics Industrial Park, and the Chongqing Economic and Informatization Commission announced a memorandum of understanding where SABIC would establish an engineering thermoplastics compounding plant in Chongqing, China.
TPE and its role to detect crack in concrete buidlings is the subject of the work of researchers at the American Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and German University of Potsdam.
SABIC Innovative Plastics’ newest Extem UH resin meets hottest trends for higher continuous use temperatures and greater design freedom.
A technology developed by FRX Polymers, Inc. for producing engineering thermoplastics that are inherently flame retardant and environmentally friendly has received the first-place award in the Clean Technology Business Forum and Competition, it was announced today by the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE).
PolyOne and Zyvex Performance Materials announce agreement to develop carbon-nanotube thermoplastic composites.
DuPont Delrin 300CP optimises impact performance, flow and cost-efficiency.
A. Schulman announced the European launch of two new thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) products for automotive applications – Invision VX EP ultra high-flow TPE, and Invision SLX slush TPE.
Moulders can cut cycle time for PBT parts up to 30 percent with new super-fast grades of DuPont Crastin PBT thermoplastic polyester. Designated Crastin SF, the new resins come in non-reinforced form and in reinforced versions with 15 or 30 percent glass fibre.
Teknor Apex Company has signed a licensing agreement with Cerestech Inc. on a unique method for blending relatively low-cost thermoplastic starch (TPS) with synthetic polymers or other bioplastics while retaining high levels of key performance properties, the companies announced jointly today.
The launch of DuPont Delrin 300CP marks the development of a new polyacetal (polyoxymethylene, POM) offering a distinct combination of properties. The engineering thermoplastic combines high impact resistance, even at low temperatures, with high stiffness, strength and elongation at yield - yet it is particularly efficient during processing, thanks to its relatively low melt viscosity.
