Consumer electronics manufacturers are demanding better performance because at 5G’s high-end millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies, signals are shorter. As device manufacturers launch 5G compatible products, phone case manufacturers need materials that facilitate mmWave transmission to maximize signal performance,” said Matt Mitchell, director, global marketing of Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Our specialty TPEs for 5G transparency provide phone case manufacturers with advanced solutions that allow them differentiate their next-generation products and delight end users.”

For decades, automotive manufacturers assumed that color appeal was the product of personal preference. As a result, the ways in which manufacturers use color can profoundly affect how well a vehicle sells and who purchases it. To successfully operate in a global marketplace, manufacturers need to recognize cultural differences in color perception.

This shift has created a dynamic landscape where innovation in electric propulsion systems is at the forefront, and leading car manufacturers are now prioritizing e-battery expertise.   Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are in a fierce race to design and manufacture battery packs with integrated cells that offer the highest energy densities. By embracing advanced materials and innovative design strategies, manufacturers can achieve higher battery pack energy densities and enhanced vehicle performance.  

Using the new bio-based Mevopur polymer solutions instead of conventional materials,” says Volker Dickfeld, senior marketing manager, healthcare global, “can help manufacturers of pharmaceutical packaging, medical devices and related products reduce their carbon footprint. And, because they are produced under Mevopur protocols, these polymer solutions also can help the manufacturers reduce their risk of regulatory non-compliance.” Manufactured using non-fossil feedstocks, the new Mevopur concentrates include polymers with bio-based content between 70 and 100%, as calculated to ASTM D6866 standard.

Using MEVOPUR medical grade materials can help manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceutical packaging reduce the risk of regulatory non-compliance. New at Pharmapack are color and additive masterbatches based on a PE carrier that is manufactured using non-fossil feedstocks. Also being featured at Pharmapack, MEVOPUR foaming agents help manufacturers of pharmaceutical packaging and medical devices add another level of sustainability to their products.
