One of the most commonly cited advantages of TPEs is the ability to produce products via high-volume injection molding, which is an extremely cost-effective process. Sure, you can grind up a tire into a material for the track around a high school, but the material itself can’t be changed or transformed into a completely new and recyclable product.

INJECTION PRESSURE The injection pressure must be set high enough to obtain a high injection rate (Figure 3). Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents can be used in low pressure and high pressure processes. The high pressure process leads to larger and stretched cells with higher density reductions.

Carbon fiber production took off during the 1960’s but the high price of the material limited its initial usage. The precursor undergoes several processes including carbonization and oxidation which produces high tensile & modulus carbon fiber filaments. For over 25 years, FIBER-LINE® has provided science- driven expertise that improves the performance and the end-use processing of high performance fibers.

ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive High-performance, visible light blocking technology for extended shelf life, UHT dairy PET packaging PRODUCT BULLETIN PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ColorMatrix™ Lactra™ SX Light Blocking Additive is a solid masterbatch additive that, when added to PET to make monolayer bottles, provides high-performance light blocking technology and protection for liquid dairy contents. This additive helps PET packaging to protect longer shelf life products, especially ultra-high temperature (UHT) liquid dairy products, from visible-light induced oxidation due to ambient storage conditions. Traditionally, UHT liquid dairy products have been packaged in laminated paperboard cartons, pouches, or multilayer high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles.
