  At JEC World 2026, Arkema and Zephir Project introduced a prototype of an eco-designed speed board made with Elium® resin, the first recyclable liquid thermoplastic resin. This board incorporates materials that promote circularity right from the design stage, paving the way for a new generation of composite parts that combine performance, precision, and recyclability. By joining the Zephir Project, #Arkema is once again using extreme #sports environments as testing grounds to unlock the potential of its materials. Exposed to particularly high stress levels in terms of acceleration, stability, and rigidity during the pursuit of sailing speed records,  #Elium®  resin enables the design of high-performance structural components while remaining fully chemically #recyclable : through a depolymerization process, the fibers and resin can be separated and then recycled, with the resin subsequently reused to produce recycled resin, thereby reinforcing the c...

  𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 🟢 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐖𝐡𝐲?🟢 When we are doing molds trials and normally you will find some plastic parts with burn mark. Here share some information about this defect. Burn marks refer to dark or black marks formed at the end of the flow path or in trapped gas areas during the injection molding process due to poor mold venting or too fast injection, where the air inside the mold does not have time to escape and suddenly heats up under high pressure (in extreme cases, temperatures can reach up to 3000 degrees). The overheated compressed air scorches the melt. 🟢 Why? Here are 3 reason for your reference 🟢 1. Poor mold venting causes the trapped gas to be compressed and overheated. 2. Excessive melt temperature or injection speed. 3. The material remains in the barrel for too long, leading to overheating source : Michael Qu #plastics #injectionmolding #injectionmold

On Wednesday, fiberglass producer China Jushi, a subsidiary of China National Building Material Group( #CNBM ), opened a new production line in Huai'an, Jiangsu province, capable of producing 100,000 metric tons of electronic-grade #fiberglass and 390 million meters of electronic fabric annually. This line represents 9 percent of the global market capacity, making it the largest of its kind worldwide. Zhou Yuxian, chairman of CNBM, highlighted that this line is a crucial component of the world's first zero-carbon fiberglass smart manufacturing base, set to supply high-end electronic materials for industries like consumer electronics, 5G, and medical technology. General manager Yang Guoming of China Jushi said that the new capacity will be gradually released to stabilize the electronic fabric market. He said that price volatility poses challenges, but the company plans to adjust prices based on market demand and feedback from industry partners. With the rapid growth of the elec...

As #Boeing777 -8 freighter, which has won 68 orders from customers worldwide, is being built at Boeing’s 777/777X final assembly facility in Everett, Washington, employees express their pride and hopes, and talk about their approach. The teams work on the ‘wing-body join,’ i.e. they bring the 777-8F’s mid-fuselage together with its composite wings, which span 235 feet (72 metres), i.e. about twice the distance of the Wright brother’s first flight! This is something to be proud of,” says Landa. “It’s a whole new freighter that our customers are excited about, and we’re excited to be building something brand new,” says assembly installer Pedro Landa. Then, the teams begin outfitting forward and aft fuselage sections with systems and wiring. “We’re building on the success of the legacy 777 Freighter,” explains Jens Biemann, design engineer lead. “This is going to be an airplane that will help customers be successful in their businesses. Building a new airplane is challenging, from coordin...
