The plastics industry faces a twofold challenge: While components must withstand increasingly high temperatures, at the same time they need to meet more stringent demands for durability, reliability, and functionality. Specifically in electromobility, electrical components, and technical industrial applications, conventional material concepts are constantly stretched to their limits. With its new heat stabilizers BYK-MAX HS 4316 and BYK-MAX HS 4317, BYK Additives is expanding its portfolio with two high-performance additive solutions that were especially developed for the long-term thermal stabilization of polyamides. Both products allow plastics manufacturers and compounders to adjust their products precisely to the demands of modern applications, while simultaneously improving the long-term performance capacity of their compounds. When heat becomes a challenge Whether it is in plug-in connectors in electric vehicles, technical casings, engine compartment components, or heavily used i...

Throughout the entirety of the production cycle, from initial substrate application through final outer layer deposition, maintaining rigorous consistency in resin content parameters constitutes a fundamental quality control imperative. This dimensional consistency across the complete laminate thickness is essential for ensuring structural homogeneity and predictable mechanical performance characteristics.

Sumitomo Chemical has achieved production-scale manufacturing of #liquidcrystalpolymer (LCP) that contains a portion of monomer derived from #biomassfeedstock (bio-based LCP). As a global supplier in the LCP market, the Company is preparing a mass production system for bio-based LCP leveraging biomanufacturing technology. It also plans to begin providing customers with samples obtained from this production-scale manufacturing. LCP is a type of super engineering plastic that offers excellent heat resistance and flame retardancy. Its outstanding fluidity, in particular, makes it well-suited to a wide range of applications, from electronic devices such as #smartphones to #automotive components and office automation equipment. While most of the raw materials used to produce LCP have traditionally been derived from fossil resources, there is growing demand for shifting to biomass feedstock and reducing the carbon footprint in order to achieve a sustainable society. In response to rising...

Turquoise Group, a verified graphene producer through the Advanced Carbons Council (ACC), has announced promising epoxy protective coating results demonstrating increased surface hardness, improved weathering performance and reduced corrosion spread. The company’s few-layer synthetic graphene is manufactured from methane gas, averages five layers and comprises 98.5% carbon and 1.5% oxygen, with no other measurable impurities (TG Graphene). Testing across two epoxy coating systems demonstrated how low additions of TG Graphene can enhance protective performance, supporting opportunities to develop more durable coatings for shipping, marine infrastructure and industrial assets. The programs evaluated graphene loadings of 0.1%, 0.5% and 1.0% by weight in a two-component epoxy formulation and a commercial, high-performance zinc-rich epoxy primer. Improved hardness and resistance to environmental exposure: Testing evaluated a two-component epoxy system formulated from commercially available ...
