Together with #Comotomo Inc. and #AvientCorporation , we have helped bring the next generation of #babybottles to life. By pairing #BASF high-performance #PPSUUltrason® P 2010 with Avient’s advanced Colorant Chromatics™ high-temperature blue color formulation, we support both bottle design and everyday usability for parents. What does this mean in practice? ✔️ Reliable safety: food-contact approved across key standards ✔️ Reusability: exceptional durability and heat resistance ✔️ Easy cleaning - whether dishwasher, boiling water, or sterilizer Because when it comes to infant care, performance is essential. So look forward to seeing how our partnerships continue to drive innovation in everyday applications leading to real benefits for children and parents. source : BASF #BASF #Ultrason #babybottles #PPSU

Envalior, a leading global manufacturer of sustainable and high-performance engineering materials, has developed #XytronTMM5080ET , a new PPS ( #PolyphenyleneSulfide (PPS) for overmolding and functionalizing busbars for #electricvehicles (EVs). The impact-modified compound is primarily designed for busbars that must withstand temperatures above 150°C while also being highly resistant to stress cracking during thermal shock. The material is a solution to rising temperatures in EV powertrains, driven by higher operating voltages, stronger currents & more compact assembly designs. This also increases the requirements for the thermal shock resistance of overmolded busbars, such as those used in #powercontrolunits (PCU) or electric drive axles of EVs. Thermal expansion closer to copper improves resistance to stress cracking In EVs, busbars must safely conduct electricity between the high-voltage battery, control unit, drive, and charging unit. They are made of copper and overmolded w...

Quality is achieved when: ✅ SOPs are clear and practical ✅ Employees are properly trained ✅ Competency is verified ✅ Processes are followed consistently ✅ Knowledge is reinforced through coaching and practice 🏭 Even the best-written procedure will fail if people do not understand: 🔹 Why it is important 🔹 How to apply it correctly 🔹 What can go wrong if it is not followed 🎯 Remember: 📖 SOP = What to do 🎓 Training = How to do i...

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲'𝐬 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐄𝐃𝐆𝐄 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐨-𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫: 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬 Today, what we call bio- or eco-leather is not a single material, but an entire class of solutions that differ in origin, technology, and behavior. Main groups: 1. Plant residues (agricultural waste): pineapple (Piñatex); apple pomace; grape marc; orange peel; corn, grain residues. 2. Microbial materials: SCOBY (kombucha culture); bacterial cellulose. These are all grown films, closer to “living” materials. 3. Fungal materials: cultivated mycelium. 4. Plants with high fiber/juice content: cactus (Desserto); agave leaves. 5. Biopolymer systems: alginates, cellulose, starches reinforced with plant fibers. 6. Synthetic “eco-leather”: PU, PVC. Formally “vegan leather”, but not biodegradable. Today, these solutions are entering into competition with natural leather. However, it is important to understand the real scale of the market. Please, see the picture. This mean...
