Before a drink is ever served, its package is already shaping your perception of what you’re selecting and how others will view it. THE IMPACT The closure producer’s team switched to Gravi-Tech material, and immediately logged a 35% cost savings due to lower material and processing costs. Finding a material that would not compromise the premium quality provided to a leading spirits brand was critical for the closure producer.

CORROSION RESISTANCE The materials used in ballistic composites are resistant to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh environments. GlasArmor™ thermoset materials harden permanently when cured and so are best used in situations where weather and/or temperature can be a factor. ThermoBallistic™ thermoplastic panels can be thermoformed and shaped, ideal for indoors where they offer design flexibility and easy installation.

Comprehensive consulting and testing expertise for medical materials and device companies Committed to Growing with the Medical Industry Since 2009, PDI has invested over $2 million to improve and extend our capabilities to serve our medical materials and device clients. The challenge for PDI was to assure the polymer portion of the device would maintain its load-bearing properties without undergoing an excessive permanent change in shape, as well as to optimize and characterize the polymer-to-titanium bond.

Is TPE the best material for my products? This means a large volume of product (anywhere from tens of thousands to over a million units) can be created by heating the TPE blend and injecting it into a mold, where the TPEs cool and form the desired shape. In the simplest terms, traditional TPE types are made by combining a hard material with a soft material, either chemically or by a machine.

These profiles allow for the replacement of metal, wood and other less efficient materials in order to improve overall product performance while reducing weight, cost and complexity.

Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Using a variety of metallic fibers and particles, these compounds have densities similar to traditional metals, while offering design and processing flexibility because of the polymer matrix, which can be extruded, molded, calendered, or thermoformed into the final desired shape. Several grades of Gravi-Tech composites used for radiation- shielding applications provide protections similar to traditional lead-based materials, yet these Gravi-Tech polymer-metal composites are 37 percent lighter. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

Therefore, they recommend a non-carcinogenic classification of these materials under GHS. No, GHS elements (including diamond shaped pictograms) are not to replace or modify how hazardous products are labeled for transport. Department of Transport (DOT) will still require their diamond shaped labels as well as the applicable written information aside from GHS label elements for the transport of chemicals.

Is TPE the best material for my products? This means a large volume of product (anywhere from tens of thousands to over a million units) can be created by heating the TPE blend and injecting it into a mold, where the TPEs cool and form the desired shape. This ability to flow freely in a near-melted state is an important property because it allows TPEs to be molded into any shape you want.
