Plastics are widely used polymeric materials employed in a diverse array of applications and across a wide range of popular consumer products. Polymers used in the production of plastics are typically ...

Nordson Corp., which has its corporate headquarters in Westlake, OH, is building a new facility in Münster, Germany, to serve as a global hub for all of the company’s BKG products, which include ...

Most polymers don’t mix—and that’s the point. Polymer alloys succeed by engineering the interface: use thermodynamics to ...

Thermoset polymers underpin many high-performance applications because covalent cross-linking yields stability, chemical resistance, and robust mechanics.

Auxiliary equipment maker Piovan SpA says it will acquire a number of selected assets from Germany-based Protec Polymer Processing GmbH. Protec went into administrative receivership in November 2022.
