Hammerhead Marine Composite Panels consist of thermoplastics, continuous glass-fiber face sheets, and foam cores.

Complete with food contact approvals for the European Union and FDA, this new Lactra additive is compatible with the PET recycle stream for fibers, sheet, and strapping.  

It is suitable for thermoformed sheets as well as transparent food packaging, agricultural, and protective films. 

This is quite common for sheet goods and general molding TPEs. Accurate testing procedures are needed to ensure valid data. When comparing TPEs across different families, actual physical property data beyond hardness is required to make appropriate material decisions.

Nymax™ REC Recycled Nylon Formulations: two new super tough PA6 and PA66 grades added to Avient’s recycled content portfolio, each containing post-industrial recycled content, resulting in up to 81% lower cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint than traditional alternatives made without recycled content, and will be presented during Avient’s technical seminar at NPE, “Exploring Sustainable Alternatives to Traditional Polyamides,” by Jeremy Gray, Application Development and Technical Service Engineer, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient, on May 9 at 11 a.m. Avient will also host a series of technical seminars at its customer center for NPE attendees to explore sustainability strategies and the pressing issues of carbon footprint reduction. Additional details and registration for the technical seminars can be found here.

The most common post-surface manipulation is called “tapping”—the practice of placing a Teflon sheet over a cured print and hitting it with a transfer machine. The sheet usually has a high gloss side and a satin side, and whichever side is used will impress a similar surface on the ink. Using the gloss side is a great way to make a print look like an old-time transfer, while the satin side of the Teflon sheet is more widely-used as it gives the ink a smoother, softer hand.
