Percept technologies can be tailored to a wide variety of processing conditions, end-use applications, and authentication techniques based on overt, covert, or forensic-based approaches. These solutions enable companies to readily identify counterfeit products with easy-to-use methods based on additives and unique identifiers called taggants.

Many products, from industrial tools to suitcases, use nylon grips that benefit greatly from the tactile qualities of overmolded TPEs,” said Charles Page, director of global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers. Using two-shot or insert molding, the material bonds tightly without adhesives to most standard nylons, as well as heat-stabilized, lubricated, glass-filled and impact-modified versions.

According to Filip Technologies, the FiLIP 2 uses cell tower location and Wi-Fi triangulation to supplement GPS data, which can more accurately pinpoint a child's location in areas where GPS is limited. Further enhancing its effectiveness, the FiLIP 2's cellular technology also enables parents and children to communicate with each other using two-way voice functionality to place and receive calls.

Catheters made using the patent-pending NEU View technology provide optical visibility (translucent) when outside the body and superior visibility under X-ray (radiopaque) when inside the body. This technology enhances the ability of clinicians to make visual confirmation of fluid flow and can allow for detection of potentially harmful air bubbles that might cause embolisms, while patients can experience greater comfort via use of a single catheter.

This technology addresses the limitations of traditional APET, which can only be used up to 60°C, by significantly increasing its heat stability up to 100°C. This enhancement makes Cesa Raise an excellent solution for a wide range of applications in the food industry, including hot steam sterilization, hot-fill, and microwave use, as it is created for containers that need to withstand higher temperatures.

New Excelite IM chemical foaming additives are suitable for use in automotive, construction, commercial, personal care packaging or structural foamed applications.  Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses.

Geon HC 8200 series is formulated for improved chemical resistance to withstand repeated exposure to powerful disinfectants, which are increasingly used in the fight against healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), helping device manufacturers to reduce service calls, warranty claims and product returns. We used our expertise in formulating innovative materials for demanding appliance and electronic applications to develop this family of Geon HC materials, which offer superior chemical resistance to many of the strongest medical disinfectants.”

The same attributes that reduce fog from forming on the films used to pack fresh foods for display in stores also create tremendous value for farmers growing fresh produce by reducing the possibility of condensed water contacting the produce.” Films used to protect crops from extreme weather can create heavy condensation as temperatures fluctuate, and fresh produce begins to decay when it makes contact with this condensed water.

A change to the formulation used to manufacture LubriOne anti-wear solutions has led to: •    improved processability •    improved surface finish on parts •    lower densities •    improved impact performance These changes have not affected the excellent lubrication and mechanical properties of the original formulation.  LubriOne anti-wear solutions are well established in many industries, enabling customers to replace metal bearings, for example, or to stop using oil or other external lubricants.

Istanbul-based IŞILSAN makes these plastic spinning tubes and bobbins, used on the world’s most advanced textile machinery to carry thread and spun yarn. But as the newest generation of machines introduced higher operating speeds and increased mechanical loads, it became clear that the plastic used to make the bushings was no longer suitable under the punishing conditions.
