Spend enough time formulating modified plastics and you start to notice a habit. The moment someone sees two polymers that don’t get along,[…]

If you follow industrial commodities, this was one of those weeks that reminds you how fast the ground can move. Energy led the[…]

Most PTFE filled-powder lines run on a quiet assumption: keep the powder dry and it will keep flowing. I have seen this cost[…]

For decades the seed coating industry ran on a quiet secret. The polymers that make modern seed treatment work are, more and more,[…]

Walk into any plant that cuts, grinds, or molds PTFE and you’ll probably hear the same thing: the white powder is inert, so[…]

Spend any time formulating with silicones and you keep running into three terms that sound nearly the same: silane, siloxane, silicone resin. Open[…]

That foldable phone in your pocket. The outermost layer that looks like glass — it’s not glass. It’s polyimide. A class of high-performance[…]

I keep running into the same claim at farming conferences: PHAs are the “real” biodegradable plastic. Made by bacteria, eaten by bacteria, gone[…]

If you have formulated paints, inks, or clears for any length of time, you have hit this wall. Two products both called “polyether-modified[…]

If you work with high-performance plastics, you have probably noticed a pattern. Open the datasheet for a PEEK gear, a PPS valve seat,[…]
