Designing Molds for Styrenic Block Copolymers (SBC) For best results manufacturers should understand the material’s processing benefits and limitations before designing a mold.  This bulletin focuses on the raw material cost, specifically how specific gravity plays a role in product economics. 

Key considerations should include addition ratio, screw design, extrusion or cycle speed and other factors, such as wall thickness and part design.  Formulations for material performance over 300°F (150°C). Smarter Materials™ High Performance Thermoplastics: eBook

FireCon™ chlorinated polyethylene formulations are flame-retardant jacketing materials designed for use in low-voltage power-and-control cables which are routinely exposed to harsh chemicals and low temperatures. Processing & Design Guides Processing & Design Guides

How can you make the most of color, from design through processing? Advantages of integrating color into product design Practical guidance on optimizing the processing efficiency and quality of colored plastic materials

With our wide range of material solutions, we will work with you to find the right balance between functionality and design.  We can give you design flexibility with both liquid and solid colorants to make your products pop. We’ll show you innovative materials, talk through cost efficiencies, and share environmentally conscious and sustainable solutions.

Designs traditionally have required lead parts produced by machining or casting.  Teams from all three companies worked together to develop new designs based on Trilliant™ Healthcare Radiation Shielding Compound, a high-density, metallic-filled material. Finally, the material gave the OEM's designers greater geometric flexibility so that they could shield areas more effectively than with machined parts.

It is designed to meet strict regulatory requirements on a global scale. Technical information, design guides, processing information and more. Offered material and high impact with good laser marking performance strength

As a result, we expect the Specialty Engineered Materials segment will deliver over 15% EBITDA growth versus the prior year third quarter." Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Explore the design options & challenges of TPEs with sustainable content Using recycled content in the formulations can impact colorability and/or surface aesthetics, ultimately influencing material choices made during the design phase. These offer a strong, renewable story and may also give you increased design freedom when it comes to on-brand color and design choices.
