DuPont Apollo thin-film photovoltaic modules
  • are used for commercial rooftop and large-scale applications. The solar modules can generate more wattage output under diffuse lighting conditions and consume only about 1/200 the silicon of traditional crystalline silicon solar cells, resulting in shorter energy payback times.


  • DuPont™ Tyvek® Weatherization Systems are part of a system created to seal buildings from the inside and out. Tyvek® is an ENERY STAR partner that helps enhance the energy efficiency, indoor air quality and overall comfort of a home or commercial building. Tyvek®, which combines properties of paper, film and fabric, also is an ideal choice for reusable bags by environmentally conscious customers.


  • DuPont™ Energain® decreases the amount of energy used in a building by controlling temperature levels and thus reducing the need for cooling and heating. The result is major cost savings and reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

  • DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymers are made partially with agricultural feedstocks instead of petrochemicals, thus reducing dependence on oil. In addition to fibers and fabrics, Sorona® can be used in films, filaments, engineering resins and other applications. Sorona® contains 37% renewably sourced ingredients by weight.


  • DuPont™ Corian® solid surfaces, made from natural minerals and high-performance acrylic, are non-porous, helping to resist stains and growth of bacteria. Available in more than 100 colors and all fulfilling the U.S. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 51, Corian® is safe for food contact.

  • DuPont™ SentryGlas® ionoplast interlayers help create lighter, safer, more structural glass that can stand up to greater loads and higher threat levels.


  • DuPont™ Teflon® FEP anti-flammable cable provides excellent fire resistance characteristics without producing toxic smoke in the event of fire, thus gaining valuable time for evacuation of personnel. In addition, it can be recycled.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:PLA BOTTLE

-
Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share Ever wondered how we can reduce plastic pollution in India? The Mysuru-based Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL), affiliated with the DRDO, has launched an eco-friendly remedy with the introduction of biodegradable water bottles. Crafted from sustainable Polylactic acid (PLA) material, these bottles not only combat plastic waste but also contribute to reducing the overall carbon footprint. The best thing about this bottle is its all-encompassing sustainability approach – the bottle, cap, and label are all compostable. This innovation, derived from 100% bio-based and renewable sources, sets us on a path towards environmental conservation and fosters a greener and more sustainable future.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share UPM Raflatac launches OptiCut™ WashOff linerless label to promote plastic packaging reuse UPM Raflatac, a global supplier of sustainable labeling solutions, is expanding its direct thermal (DT) linerless label offering with the launch of its new OptiCut™ WashOff solution. The new linerless label is specifically designed for returnable and reusable plastic food containers, including PP, HDPE and PET crates used in food logistics. Available to customers now, the label launch meets the need for innovative plastic packaging solutions, driven by evolving regulations and consumer demand. The OptiCut WashOff label, which is compatible with most direct thermal printers and weighing scales, offers excellent washability and easy, adhesive residue-free separation for both industrial processes and home washing machines. While ensuring excellent washability, the OptiCut WashOff solution meets end-use requirements by offering the same benefits as the entire OptiCut linerl

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share:High and low shear rate changes in Rheology

-
Image
Today's KNOWLEDGE Share If a relatively high Mw grade flows from thin to thick, as shown in the picture, and if the time needed to fill the thick section is way shorter than the average polymer relaxation time, the polymer will not be able to reach its higher viscosity (corresponding to higher thickness/lower shear-rate). I am assuming here the polymer reached equilibrium low viscosity in the thin section, say for instance because it is much longer. Any pressure prediction not accounting for transient rheology would then overpredict the pressure to fill.Of course the diverging flow will further complicate the situation and mess with the molecular orientation created in the thin section, but to what extent ? Since this is more of a reasonable "conjecture", don't take this for granted, and discuss or share your opinion in the comments. There are hundreds of Rheology papers on the "4:1 contraction flow". Not sure I have ever seen any on the..."1:4 expansio
