The colorants are provided as color concentrate pellets added to the yarn during spinning in the process known as spin-dyeing. Our team of fiber experts provides guidance to ensure that the desired color intensity and performance are achieved in a cost-efficient way.

Food packaging helps limit that waste by providing protection for food so that it remains safe to eat, and packaging also serves a significant role by increasing attractiveness, making it more likely customers will purchase a specific food. One of the most tantalizing aspects of modern packaging is this: it provides such good protection for the contents, that sometimes it is almost impossible to break into it! Secondly, the additive must not interfere with the principal role of the polymer, which is to provide high levels of film sealability and peelability.

The materials are compounded with fillers, flame- retardants, additives and stabilizers to provide a customized desired level of performance. As such, FireCon CPE formulations are well suited to provide a robust cable jacketing solution.

THE SOLUTION In the development of the Caplex PRO-002, Humotech sought a material solution that would provide high torque, flexibility, and durability for key components of the foot. THE IMPACT The high energy storage characteristics of Gordon Composites thermoset springs provide Humotech’s prosthetic foot a natural flex, responding similarly to human calf muscles with the roll and rebound required for the patient to achieve a natural gait.

They also provide good cold bending performance and elongation at break at as low as -40°C, making them suitable for use over a wide range of temperatures. Catalyst Content - ECCOH XL 8148 solutions are REACH compliant and require 50% less catalyst compared with competitive solutions, while providing the same crosslinking efficacy.

The fiberglass material, which is less stiff than carbon, proved to provide greater comfort and gave the energy return they were looking for. The neoprene layer provides comfort and space for the unidirectional laminate to deflect downward as the runner’s foot strikes the running surface. They fit comfortably in most athletic shoes, including racing spikes, with the glass fiber properties providing comfort and performance benefits to the user.

Available with 10–33% short GF levels, they provide outstanding chemical resistance, low moisture uptake, and excellent dimensional stability. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent chemical resistance • Low moisture uptake • Comparable dimensional stability to nylon • Reinforced with 10–33% glass fill • High impact and wear resistance • Eco-conscious alternative to PA66 and PA6 MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Whether using a standard or customized formulation, the PK-based Trilliant grades provide a high-performing, cost-competitive, and more eco-conscious alternative to competitive materials found in biopharmaceutical processing, hospital settings, and home healthcare applications.

For example, a laser mark can provide the appearance of stitching where two parts adjoin. The activation changes the molecular structure of these additives, causing a color change that provides the vivid contrast of laser marking.
