Reinforced polymer materials are increasingly being used for structural applications because they allow manufacturers to replace traditional metal components with lighter-weight plastics. However, transitioning from metal to plastic requires thorough technical analysis and preparation. By factoring in static and dynamic data, the CAE simulations can identify where an injection molded plastic part may crack or break when exposed to real-world conditions such as physical loading force, sudden impact (crash simulation), or environmental factors like temperature and humidity.

Among all the different types of plastics on the market today, why would anyone choose polyaryletherketones (PAEK), polysulfones (PSU), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), polyetherimides (PEI) and polyphenylene sulfides (PPS) for their application? While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C.

Versaflex™ HC BIO BT218 TPEs: a finalist for the Plastics Industry Association’s People’s Choice for Plastics Sustainability Innovation Award to be announced at NPE, this grade of bio-derived thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is developed specifically to handle the complexities of biopharmaceutical tubing and deliver excellent weldability, kink resistance, and low levels of extractables while offering the same performance as its prime counterpart but with a lower carbon footprint. Plastics Pact's 2024 Sustainable Packaging Innovation Award for Recyclability, which will be announced at GreenBiz Group's Circularity24 (May 22-24, Chicago, IL), Capture is a groundbreaking oxygen-scavenging technology embedded in the closure for PET packaging that can enhance product preservation sustainably and has already received Critical Guidance Recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR).

Oxidation and heat aging in plastics frequently cause a chain reaction that forms free radicals, breaks up the long polymer chains and degrades the appearance and performance of the plastic. At every stage of the plastic life cycle, from manufacturing through processing and end use, Cesa Nox antioxidant masterbatches help maintain shine and transparency while preventing yellowing, surface cracking and odors.

Association of Plastic Recyclers Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic to Work®, and is a founding member of the Alliance to End Plastic Waste.
