Panel-level packaging has gained momentum in the semiconductor industry as manufacturers pursue higher efficiency and improved yield that can support next-generation packaging processes. In response to these market changes, Asahi Kasei, a diversified global company, has combined the features of its photosensitive #polyimide (PSPI) and dry film photoresist (DFR) into a new #photosensitive film. The PSPI film is currently under customer evaluation, with commercial availability expected in the near future. The new PSPI film was developed by combining Asahi Kasei’s expertise in the manufacture of PIMEL™ liquid PSPI used for buffer coatings and passivation layers and SUNFORT™ dry film photoresist for temporary #lithographiccircuit patterning on substrates and wafers. It will improve productivity in semiconductor packaging manufacturing by enabling easy, uniform application of a lamination process to large square panels. In addition, the film is designed to accommodate an increased number...

Syntetica, a leading European deeptech startup, and the Center for Sustainable Materials (CMD) at Michelin Innovation Park – Cataroux in Clermont-Ferrand, are joining forces to accelerate the industrial development of a breakthrough nylon recycling solution in support of the circular economy. #Syntetica will install its recycling process within an industrial environment that is secure, purpose-adapted, and conducive to its further development. A collaboration to cross the industrialisation threshold This collaboration will enable, for the first time, the industrial-scale recycling of #nylonrichmixedtextiles . It brings together Michelin’s expertise as a recognised leader in material science for over 130 years, and Syntetica’s proprietary chemical #recycling process. The pilot installation will benefit from the industrial infrastructure, technical teams, and operational excellence made available by the #Michelin Innovation Park, transforming a laboratory innovation into a robust and ...

Here’s a quick overview of the most common clamping systems 👇 ⚙️ Manual Methods 🔧 Bolt Clamping – Low cost and rigid, but slow and operator-dependent. 🦶 Clamp Shoe – Faster to adjust, but still manual and less repeatable. ⚙️ Assisted & Automated Systems 💧 Hydraulic Clamping – Uniform pressure, safer, faster; higher maintenance cost. 🧲 Magnetic Clamping – Ultra-fast and clean; high investment, only for steel molds. 🚀 Quick Mold Change (QMC) – Full automation for fast changeovers; requires standardization. ⚙️ Special Applications 🔩 Mechanical Wedge / Toggle – Compact, simple, but less flexible. 🌪️ Vacuum Clamping – Great for prototypes, not for high pressure. 🧠 Takeaway: Choosing the right clampi...

𝗦𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗟™ 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀: • Food and beverage packaging for freshness-sensitive products • Personal care packaging such as toothpaste tubes and cosmetic containers • Motor vehicle fuel-system parts and other industrial multilayer applications SoarnoL™ gives manufacturers a practical way to build high-barrier structures while supporting more recyclable packaging design. For brands looking to balance barrier performance with recyclability, SoarnoL™ is worth exploring. source : Mitsubishi Chemical Group APAC #MCGAPAC #SoarnoL #PackagingSolutions

BASF Monomers happy to announce the next milestone for their clay foam insulation. This week, the first house in #Italy was insulated with clay foam in collaboration with our Italian distribution partner Thermiqa® and with the support of Insu-Tec Deutschland GmbH. It's great to see the clay foam family working together and tapping into a new market. A big thank you to the teams for their trust and great collaboration. This is an important step, and we’re excited to see many more projects follow in Italy. So far, the Cavipor® clay foam system is available via our partners in Germany, the Netherlands, UK, Ireland, Belgium and Italy. P.S. One of the many perks of working on Italian construction sites: being invited by the homeowners to try local specialties! Thank you for your hospitality and for trusting our innovative insulation material. source : BASF Monomers #ClayFoam #Insulation
