#JanickiIndustries , a privately owned engineering and manufacturing company, today announced its selection of Great Falls, Montana as the site of its next manufacturing campus. The $800 million investment will add 2 million square feet of production space over the next decade. Janicki expects to create 1,000 new jobs within the first five years, with total employment exceeding 2,000 jobs once campus construction is complete. The announcement follows a multi-month site evaluation process driven by sustained growth in #aerospace , #defense and #spaceprograms that has increased demand beyond the capacity of Janicki’s current facilities. The new campus is part of a multistate, phased growth strategy designed to meet increasing customer demand while creating meaningful economic opportunity in the communities where Janicki operates. The site selection process included personal visits by company leaders John and Peter Janicki, along with their families, to each candidate community to evalu...

The MSA M1 self-contained breathing apparatus uses a carrier plate made of #Ultramid®A3XZC3ESD , which combines #flameretardancy , high mechanical strength, and defined electrical properties. The highly impact-modified, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic proves itself not only in demanding technical applications but also in daily use – for example with BASF’s plant fire brigade. Ultramid® A3XZC3 ESD combines three properties that are crucial for #firefighting applications: reliable flame retardancy, high mechanical stability, and reduced surface resistivity. The flame retardancy (V-0 from 1.5 mm) ensures that the function of the self-contained #breathingapparatus is maintained even under thermal stress; the fully assembled device passed a flame test by an independent testing institute, with full operational functionality retained after direct flaming. “With Ultramid® A3XZC3 ESD we have developed a product with excellent flame retardancy, very good electrostatic properties, and high mech...

This capacity expansion in Calvert City, Kentucky, strengthens the Group’s leadership in #PVDF . This investment of around 20 million US dollars will support the growing demand for #energystoragesystems and #semiconductors , as well as data center rapid expansion. Announced in February 2025, this investment has been delivered on time and within the initial budget, demonstrating Arkema’s disciplined execution and strong project management capabilities, while supporting customers’ growth. Further strengthening Arkema’s leadership in PVDF in the United States, this additional capacity will enable #Arkema to better serve fast-growing markets driven by the global energy transition and digitalization trends, where demand growth continues to materialize as expected. In particular, it will support increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS), the rapid expansion of data centers driving cable demand and infrastructure, as well as ...

SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, today launched its new #LNP™ELCRIN™DC0051RC1 compound, containing 75 percent post-consumer recycled ( #PCR ) content, to enhance product circularity while delivering high-performance mechanical properties. This is SABIC’s first PCR-based #carbonfiber -reinforced compound. Formulated with #polycarbonate (PC) resin, this specialty material provides excellent dimensional stability, high modulus and thin-wall #UL94V0 flame retardancy (FR), making it well suited for consumer #electronicshousings . “SABIC supports customers by developing new materials that enhance circularity,” said Sergi Monros, vice president, SABIC’s Specialties BU. “But we do more than incorporate recycled, upcycled or bio-based content in our specialty #thermoplastics . Our formulation experts also achieve high levels of performance, aesthetics and processability. For instance, our new LNP ELCRIN compound combines a high percentage of #recycledcontent with many desira...

The defect wasn't caused by the plastic. It was caused by the air. When trapped air has nowhere to escape, it becomes highly compressed. The temperature rises rapidly, and the trapped air can ignite the surrounding polymer surface. This phenomenon is known as the Diesel Effect — one of the most common causes of burn marks in injection molding. Why does it happen? ① Trapped air at the end-of-fill region ② Poor or insufficient venting ③ Excessive injection speed ④ Vent locations that cannot evacuate compressed air effectively How can it be prevented? ✓ Improve mold venting at critical end-of-fill zones ✓ Optimize injection speed to reduce air compression ✓ Design geometry that avoids air traps ✓ Validat...
