Sigma Advanced Systems has signed a seven-year agreement valued nearly £300 million (around ₹3,800 crore) with Rolls-Royce to manufacture and supply a wide portfolio of high-precision-engineered, safety-critical components and assemblies for the latter’s aerospace programmes. The contract provides a long-term revenue stream and stronger visibility over future growth, Sigma said. It is a programme-level partnership delivered through its manufacturing network across India and the UK. The partnership builds on an existing relationship. With proximity, engineering collaboration, and programme alignment in the UK, the company cements its transition from a system player to a more integrated manufacturing partner capable of handling larger work packages, the company said. An aerospace and defence company with more than three decades of manufacturing experience, Sigma operates across India and the UK, with expansion under way in the U.S. The company works with global aerospace and defence OEMs...

And that is why not all carbon nanotubes deliver the same performance. Thanks to their unique one-layer structure, single wall carbon nanotubes are long and highly flexible, with a high aspect ratio and exceptional intrinsic mechanical and electrical properties. They are able to form a widespread, homogeneous, and stable 3D conductive network within materials at ultralow dosages. This makes it possible to create colorful or transparent conductive products with improved performance and durability.

  Great news. BASF and Sumitomo Chemical (through its license partner) have signed a license agreement that allows #BASF to use Sumitomo’s innovative HCl Oxidation globally.  At BASF Monomers, we operate production assets for #isocyanates in all key regions – US, Europe and Asia (China and Korea) and produce millions of tons of Isocyanates each year. One side product in this value chain is hydrochloric acid. With Sumitomo’s technology, BASF can now turn this #hydrochloricacid (HCl) back into Chlorine, which is then used again to produce Isocyanates in our plants. This important new process is part of our Verbund spirit and will make our isocyanates production even more productive and resilient in the future.  The agreement marks an important step in our partnership with #Sumitomo and our contracting partner #TechnipEnergies , and it reflects the trust and constructive spirit on all sides. A big thank-you to everyone who helped bring this together. We’re looking forwar...

LyondellBasell has earned top honors at the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe for a tool storage case that demonstrates how #recycledplastics can deliver professional-grade performance. The chemical industry leader, alongside Bosch Power Tools, received recognition in the Household & Leisure category for the L-Boxx Contractor at a May 6 ceremony during the Plastics Recycling Show Europe in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The award-winning product represents a significant milestone in mechanical recycling applications. Several models in the Bosch L-Boxx Family — including the 1, 3, 3AC, and 4.3, with the Contractor model coming soon — contain more than 70% #recycledpolypropylene sourced from post-consumer waste. These rugged cases meet Bosch Power Tools' rigorous drop-test standards while providing reliable storage solutions for hand tools used by contractors and tradespeople daily. "Recognitions like this one show what's possible when circularity is translated into everyday p...

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 — 𝐀 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞, 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Every year, the global citrus industry produces millions of tons of orange peel waste. Most of it is discarded, even though it contains valuable natural compounds like cellulose and limonene. But new research shows that orange peels can be transformed into biodegradable bioplastic materials — offering a sustainable, low-cost alternative to fossil-based plastics. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Orange peels are rich in cellulose This gives them the structural properties needed to form biopolymer films. 2️⃣ The peels are processed into a natural bioplastic mixture Using simple and economical techniques, researchers convert the peel into a film-forming material. 3️⃣ Glycerol acts as a natural plasticizer It improves flexibility and mechanical strength — without using petrochemical additives. 4️⃣ The resul...

TotalEnergies Corbion , a global leader in polylactic acid (PLA) bioplastics, and YuhanKimberly , a pioneer in sustainable consumer #hygieneproducts , today announced the successful commercialization of a new generation of washable, biobased kitchen towels, marking a major milestone in their multi‑year joint development partnership. The product, officially launched in 2026, is the result of more than three years of close collaboration between the two companies, combining Yuhan‑Kimberly’s application development expertise and market leadership with TotalEnergies Corbion’s Luminy® PLA, which has been solely qualified for this application following extensive development, testing, and industrial validation. A Multi‑Year Co‑Development Built on Scientific and Industrial Expertise Since the project’s inception, #TotalEnergies Corbion and #YuhanKimberly have worked together across the entire value chain – from material formulation and process optimization to downstream performance validatio...
