Designed to move seamlessly from work to workout (and everything in between), the brand’s latest innovation combines the familiar softness of premium Pima cotton with advanced material innovation to deliver lasting shape, stretch, and comfort. Powered in part by NEOLAST™ fiber technology, and developed in collaboration with #Celanese , this tee from #UnderArmour brings together ultra-soft feel, resilience, and rapid-dry performance to keep up with modern, on-the-go lifestyles. The result: a shirt that looks like your favorite cotton tee but performs at a whole new level. It’s lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, no matter where you wear it. Behind every great fabric is a smart material choice. Meet The Future of Stretch – NEOLAST™ stretch technology.

Adding a PVC/PPH liner to the fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tank combines the best of both materials, solving the key limitations of pure FRP tanks while extending service life and improving performance: Superior chemical & corrosion resistance PVC/PPH provides excellent resistance to most acids, alkalis, salts, and chemical solutions, including many corrosive media that ordinary FRP resins cannot withstand (e.g., chlorine-containing wastewater, hypochlorite solutions). It prevents chemical attack on the FRP layer. Zero leakage and anti-permeation performance :The liner is fully hot-melt welded, forming a seamless, impermeable barrier. It eliminates the risk of medium seepage into the FRP structure, preventing delamination and early failure. Smooth inner surface, anti-fouling and easy cleaning: The non-porous PVC/PPH surface prevents scaling, sediment adhesion, an...

A joint research team led by KAIST, Korea University, and the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials has developed Water-Floating Nano-Transfer Printing (WF-nTP), a groundbreaking technology that enables precision metal nano-circuits to float on water and be seamlessly transferred onto virtually any 3D surface. By leveraging the unique properties of water, the team successfully transferred 20-nanometer-thick metal patterns while preserving their intricate nano-scale structures. The technology was demonstrated on a wide range of challenging surfaces, including plant leaves, fruits, flexible fibers, and highly curved objects. The resea...

Toray Industries, Inc., announced today that #TorayIndustries (India) Private Limited has decided to build a new production facility for #TORELINA™ at its site in Sri City, Andhra Pradesh.   This high-performance #polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) resin offers excellent heat and chemical resistance, mechanical strength, and flame retardancy. Annual production capacity will be around 3,000 metric tons.   Operations should start in early 2027 at what will be Toray’s first in-house PPS compound production line in India. Supplies of samples to customers will begin in April 2027, with full-fledged mass production starting as soon as possible.   Toray will augment nylon and polybutylene terephthalate resin compounds that it already makes in India by establishing an integrated in-house PPS resin compound production system. It will expand its range of engineering plastics for #automotive electrical components and engine parts to optimize product design and process...

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...
