Flame retardant polyurethane foam: graphene plus CPDD gains

A blend of amino-functionalized graphene modified with polyaniline plus the phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardant CPDD produces the strongest flame retardant polyurethane foam in this[…]

Thermoplastic polyimide film: properties and limits

Thermoplastic polyimide film, or TPI film, is a polyimide substrate that melts and flows when heated, so it can be hot pressed, bonded[…]

Polyolefin Sales Strategy: From Product to Industry Thinking

A durable polyolefin sales strategy needs two lenses working at once. Product thinking turns one metric ton of general purpose resin into a[…]

Lithium-ion battery separators explained

Lithium-ion battery separators sit between the two electrodes and move lithium ions while blocking electrons. Traditional polyolefin films wet poorly and shrink above[…]

Color change additives for plastics: a specification guide

Color change additives are encapsulated dye systems that shift color when temperature or ultraviolet light changes. Two families matter commercially: thermochromic leuco dye[…]

Battery Separator Materials: From Polyolefin to Composites

Battery separator materials are the porous polymer films that keep a lithium-ion cell’s electrodes apart while letting ions pass. Traditional polyolefin films melt[…]

UV light stabilizers: absorbers, quenchers and HALS

UV light stabilizers are additives that slow sunlight damage in plastics, and they work at three different points in the chain of events.[…]

Flame Retardant Polycarbonate: Transparency and UL94 V-0

Flame retardant polycarbonate hits UL94 V-0 and stays clear when the retardant sits inside the polymer instead of being mixed into it. Sulfonate[…]

PBT Engineering Plastic: Beyond Connectors to EV and LiDAR

PBT engineering plastic is moving from a connector insulator into functional parts for electric vehicles, photovoltaic systems, automotive radar, and 5G networks. Three[…]

Lignin Biodegradable Blends: Stronger Compostable Films

Lignin biodegradable blends pair a cheap aromatic waste with compostable resins to cut petroleum use and add UV shielding. Over 95 percent of[…]
