The use of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) is becoming increasingly important in the quest for sustainable packaging. For example, anthranilamide (ATA)-based acetaldehyde (AA) scavengers, commonly used in PET, can deposit on the molds during injection molding. Being ATA-free, it also avoids the formation of primary aromatic amines (PAAs), making it safe for use in closed-loop recycling systems.

This TPE provided a lower durometer than AES for enhanced vibration damping combined with durability for demanding use conditions. Currently, the company is producing 800,000 housings annually using the specialty TPE material. Adding to the overall value of the solution, the TPE yields significantly less scrap than the previously used AES material.

This dissipation is typically handled by a heat sink, but the aluminum one used by the company was becoming a problem. Mars Otomotiv owned the tooling used to form the metal heat sinks. They completed the metal-to-plastics transition in less than four months – bringing production in-house while using the same tooling.

Materials and their impact on patient safety Increased use of Quality by Design (QbD) processes means that more consideration needs to be given to materials used and their impact on patient safety. Fingerprinting and routine batch testing of the raw materials used in MEVOPUR and REMAFIN-EP help detect changes and implement countermeasures. Declarations based on pre-testing of the ingredients we use to standards typically required for medical and diagnostic devices (biological evaluations ISO10993, USP , for class VI devices); and for pharmaceutical packaging and drug-contacting materials (biological evaluation USP, EP chapter and requirements USP and ICHQ3D extractable metals).

PREPERM™ materials can be used in automotive radar antenna covers, radomes, emblems and bumper windows to provide longer beam length and wider beam scanning angles compared to alternative materials. Ultra-low loss PREPERM™ materials can also be used in industrial radars for different types of level detection applications such as those used in the process industry, silos and automated warehouses. These solutions are also suitable for use in industrial machinery, consumer electronics (gesture recognition), rain droplet analyzers and for applications identifying moving crowds in different surroundings. 

The EPIC Rio system is designed using the latest pigment technology and formulated for optimum color strength, wet-on-wet printing and low temperature cure.  In addition, designers can add more colors to their graphics without using larger screen presses for a cost effective solution. As the most opaque finished color system in the Wilflex Ready-For-Use (RFU) range, the EPIC Rio system helps screen printers save ink and money by achieving color-on-press quicker, even with fine mesh-counts.
