As OEMs increasingly turn to processors for design and material selection,
the responsibility for in-service weathering failures also percolates
down to the processors. Processors in turn, are resorting to new materials
and additives as potential solutions. However, introduction of these
unknowns without adequate testing, explains the incidence of weathering-related
failures on the rise. Read more about

An
alloy of PPE (Poly Phenylene Ether) with Polypropylene has been introduced
for retort packaging. The resin is targeted at large trays used to
handle retort pouches during sterilization and conveyance. Read about
the features, characteristics, applications, the technical challenges
and market share regarding the Alloy
for retort packaging |

PVC - one of the world's most widely used plastics, is sensitive to
heat degradation and requires heat stabilizers for processing. However,
heat stabilizers are plagued with problems revolving around environmental
issues and food contact safety. An innovative organic product, usable
as a stabilizer and a plasticizer, could provide the perfect solution
to these problems associated with PVC. Read more about the Organic
products that offer a safer alternate for PVC stabilization |
