A new molding process was first used to produce a disposable protective cover for a digital thermometer. Tapped to manufacture a reusable digital tympanic thermometer, contract service provider ...

Hybrid injection molding technology, which joins metal and plastic inside the mold to produce structural components that offer the best of both materials, has been around for more than a dozen years ...

A radical new process “vaporizes” plastic bags and bottles to help make recycled materials. American scientists say the innovative chemical procedure turns ubiquitous waste items into hydrocarbon ...

A new chemical process can essentially vaporize plastics that dominate the waste stream today and turn them into hydrocarbon building blocks for new plastics. The catalytic process, developed at the ...

There are thousands of plastics, when you take into account the various grades and fillers, and around a dozen types of joining techniques. Matching up a polymer with the most appropriate bonding ...

Frimo has added two new design sizes to its portfolio of standardized infrared welding systems in the JoinLine IR welding machine series. In addition to the IR-V-ECO-1200 with a maximum clamping area ...

Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Chemists have developed a catalytic process that turns the largest component of today's plastic waste stream, polyolefin plastic bags and bottles, into gases -- propylene and isobutylene -- that are ...
