Volatile energy prices against a backdrop of rising oil prices will conspire to keep polymer prices high in 2007. Despite the fact that oil prices have been hovering at levels of US$60 for the first two months of 2007, several factors will aid in keeping polymer prices at higher levels read in 2007 may not bring cheers to processors globally
A new technology has been developed, in which PVdc is coextruded with polyamide. The experimental results indeed show a very promising future for this new technique for barrier films. PVdc provides an economical solution compared to EVOH, and also offers longer shelf life before use read in Coextrusion of PVdc with polymers offers better performance and lower cost
Rotational moulding process requires a very long processing time. In this process, the material remains in contact with oxygen present in the air that is present in the mould. Longer processing time would induce oxidative degradation due to the reaction of oxygen with PE chains read in Proper antioxidant system aids impact strength in PE for rotational moulding to
China is the second largest market for polymer composites in the world. A new report indicates that consumption of polymer composites in China is expected to reach 2.3 million tons by 2011. By 2013, China's polymer composites market will surpass the US market of polymer composite read in Polymer composite industry continues to grow well in China
Without plastics, much of modern medical practice would not be possible. Plastics have become increasingly important to our healthcare. Plastics are now inextricably linked to the well-being of millions of people. They have reduced contamination, relieved pain and cut medical costs. They have prolonged, improved and saved lives, helping us live longer and more productive lives. Plastics contribute to our ongoing health and safety read in Much maligned Plastics are your life saviours
