From PC to Nylon 66: Understanding Polymer Resin Applications in Construction

The evolution of construction has an obvious, and essential, relationship with the materials it uses. Throughout history, available materials have shaped the way construction has progressed. From the mud bricks of ancient Mesopotamia to the steel beams of modern skyscrapers, we see it everywhere around us, all throughout history. Today, we aren't using mud bricks. Instead, materials such as polymer resins are emerging as materials used to create rigorously strong, safe, and cost-effective construction. From the durability of Polycarbonate (PC) ...

Top 5 Benefits of Using Engineering Resins in Electronics Manufacturing

Materials make all the difference, particularly in the competitive electronics industry. If the product's core suffers from poor quality, design and functionality may falter. And that can lead to poor usability for consumers, and we know where that goes. Engineering resins are a class of polymers with superior mechanical and thermal properties. The electronics industry leverages engineering resins in numerous and extensive aspects of their manufacturing.  In today's blog post, we'll examine five benefits to using engineering resins in electronics ...
