Capabilities, features, benefits, impact, and technical data for Glasforms™ and Polystrand™ RV composite panel applications  This high-level, objective look at both TPEs and LSR touches on some key topics to consider in three critical categories—design, production and performance—to help you make a more informed decision Cesa™ Flame Retardant Additives key characteristics, target applications and impact.

Beyond these, one clear impact of the pandemic has been on the packaging industry, where vastly increased e-commerce and the focus on hygiene has shown, for example, PET bottles and containers to be an ideal solution to shifting consumer and regulatory trends.   This comes as the German Bundestag has passed an amendment to the country’s 2019 Packaging Act, aimed at both avoiding, and recycling, packaging waste to reduce its impact on the environment, a move that will make PET packaging even more sustainable. This high-tech facility is helping us to understand the chemistry of polymers in the mechanical recycling process to see how and where problems occur.

The impact can be even greater if the blow molder can measure compressor energy savings. If determined by the brand, the blow molder must be aware that process aids are in the preform because of the dramatic impact this can have on the blow molding process. This leads to a cleaner recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) stream, which is critical for creating high-quality recycled materials.
