Plastic has been around for more than a century. While it has drastically changed the way we live, plastic has also been a subject of concern. According to a report by the United Nations Environment Program, more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced since the 1950s. Despite this,[…]
Plastics are swiftly gaining a foothold in the healthcare sector as medical devices, instruments and implants, and 3D-printed biomedical objects are increasingly using innovative, bio-compatible polymers. They are also being used extensively as packaging material, which helps a great deal in pharma logistics and supply chain. Medical plastics, as they[…]
Plastics, metal scraps and oil spills have forced several marine species into the endangered or extinct list. Sea turtles, seagulls, whales and dolphins are among the worst affected species. Human activities are also affecting coral beds such as the Great Barrier Reef along the coast of Australia and reefs in[…]
As outlandish as it may sound, this new undulating polymer device converts external stimuli such as electromagnetic energy (light) directly into linear motion, therefore propelling itself forward without the need for any motors or external forces. Scientists at Eindhoven University of Technology and Kent State University (USA) collaborated to invent[…]
What is Silicone Silicone is a specialty, high-performance polymer material produced by reacting silicon with methyl chloride. This reaction, after removing chlorine atoms, produces polymers that are resistant to temperature gradients, moisture, UV rays, chemicals, and others. They also can be made into solids and liquids, making available a wide[…]
Plastics play a crucial part of our lives, and there cannot be normal life on the planet Earth without them. And did you know for the fact that the plastics also play an essential role in reducing the environmental footprint of energy production? They play a major role in maximizing[…]
A thermoplastic in the Plastic Industry refers to a substance which becomes plastic when heated and become very hard when they’re cooled. There are a variety of thermoplastics available in the market and we shall discuss about it in our article. The reason for manufacturers opting for it is molding[…]
Modernization of Equipment- Are you looking at your thermoforming equipment, wondering if there could be a better way to get more out of them? Are you noticing subtle reductions to your output? How long have you owned your machines? Although the process of thermoforming has been around for a long[…]
P.V.Ran’s Stretch and Cling products uses RANFLAX as the trade name. The stretch films of Ranflax are applicable for packaging of food which again helps in extending shelf life of food like meat, vegetables, poultry, and fruit. It keeps the product fresh for longer duration of time. It is a stretchable plastic[…]
Throughout the latter half of the 20th century and much continuing in the new century, aeronautical engineering has evolved in leaps and bounds, with plastics assuming a real part in both practical upgrades and striking advances. Plastics components have been the smooth and significant development contributors in the world of[…]
In a world fighting with years’ old infrastructural foundation and more successive critical climate changes while additionally looking for more sustainable and energy efficient building results — polymer-based materials are taking up a greater amount of the load. From bridges and streets to material and structures, inventive structures are utilizing[…]
“Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mould. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials, including metals, glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced[…]
Though not a recent phenomenon, wood-plastic composites is posing to be a much sought after and compelling realm within the plastics industry. Also, there is a continually maturing interest in the new design potentialities that this amalgamation of components used, has to offer. It is, at its heart, a composite[…]
Polycarbonate is a versatile tough plastic that is used for a variety of applications ranging from bulletproof windows to compact disks. It is known for its unbeatable strength at light weight and the unbreakable quality made industries use it in wide purposes. Polycarbonate is just one-third the weight of acrylic[…]
Medical Plastic system is regarded as international or universal performing development partner and injection decay for Medical Plastic systems. The Medical Plastic systems is executing and functioning all various kinds of services which include such as product designing and development, engineering, form shaping or structuring, automation engineering, large and small[…]
Plastics extrusion is a high volume manufacturing process that melts and forms raw plastic material into a continuous profile. Plastic extrusion is a process that creates two-dimensional shapes on length providing the third dimension tubing, edging, moldings fence, deck railing, window frames, weather stripping, adhesive tape and wire insulation and[…]
Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics or long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) are bulk molding materials that can feature continuous fiber filaments running the full length of the pellet allowing materials to exhibit simultaneous improvements in stiffness, strength, and impact resistance over different temperatures. The industry uses long fiber thermoplastics for varied reasons.[…]
Right from NASA to the streets, everywhere we see Photovoltaics for different purposes and noticeably for electrical power generation for converting solar radiation into direct electricity using semiconductors. So, photovoltaic power generation equips solar panels made of solar cells containing a photovoltaic material. These materials presently used for photovoltaics includes[…]
