It is easy to machine, which makes it an easy choice to make parts for the automotive and electrical industry, commercial applications, and building and construction industry. Having…
Over the years, semi-synthetic resins have gained immense popularity. They are formed through naturally occurring fibers obtained from wood pulp linters and cotton. These resins are mainly referred to as cellulose, one of the most naturally available polymers on the planet. Cellulose is made of two polymers – ester cellulose and ether cellulose. Today, there…
Since Thanksgiving has passed happily ever after, the Christmas and New Year fervor has begun. Like 2020, this year was riddled with pandemic and it’s after effects. However, you all may agree that the holiday season is the best time to retrospect the year that is about to end. The year started with much hope…
Quality resins are one of the important requirements when it comes to plastic production. There are different types of resins available in the market. Since plastic can be recycled, most of the resin found in a market is recycled. However, the virgin resin is the purest and most effective form of plastic that should be…
There is a high demand for moldable and high temperature engineering thermoplastic for rapid prototyping and manufacturing. Over the years, various moldable thermoplastics have gained popularity, and Polyphenylsulfone (PSU or PPSU) resin is the most prominent among them. This resin can be used in applications where other high temperature and high performance thermoplastics like polyoxymethylene…
Plastic regrind is the type of plastic material that has undergone at least one process and has been chopped and grounded. Once the plastic material is processed and it can be recycled by using the regrind process. The used plastic, scrap, chips, etc are fed into the granulator and reground. Therefore, plastic regrind is the…
