Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive. Boyson, et al., “Graphene: Sheets of Carbon-based Nanoparticles,” http://www.dummies.com/education/science/nanotechnology/graphene-sheets-of-carbon-based-nanoparticles/ 5E. Compounds at the high end of the resistivity scale shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio-frequency interference (RFI).1 Faster data transmission and broader electromagnetic frequencies are driving the need for better EMI/RFI protection for electronic devices.2

The company noted that proceeds from the sale will be used to strengthen its balance sheet and fund future growth initiatives, including investing in sustainable solutions and specialty acquisitions. 

Thermoform sheet for Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) dairy applications

Specific continuous-fiber thermoplastic technologies include: •    Multi-axial and multilayer tapes, laminates and sheets up to 10’ wide •    Sandwich panels in unlimited lengths, up to 6” thick and 10’ wide •    High volume production capacity

Sheet metal restricts design flexibility, and different automotive OEMs request different attachment configurations for the part,” Spiess explained.

Polystrand continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic 6-ply laminate sheet was integrated into the direct long fiber thermoplastic (DLFT) manufacturing process and applied via compression molding.
