Beyond the Basics: Engineering Resin Blends for High-Impact Performance
When it comes to high-impact applications, a surface-level understanding of resin properties isn’t enough. Selecting the ideal material is a strategic process, requiring alignment between resin capabilities and the unique demands of the application. This blog delves into these challenges and highlights how innovative resin solutions are paving the way for next-level performance ...
PC vs. ABS vs. ASA: A Beginner’s Guide to Choosing the Right Resin
Choosing the right resin is essential because different resins affect a product’s performance, durability, and longevity. In this blog, we’re focusing on three primary resins: Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA). Each of these resins offers unique properties with their own pros and cons. Choosing the wrong resin can lead to issues such as poor weather resistance, decreased longevity, and even total failure. That’s why it’s important to understand the distinct advantages and limitations of ...
The Essential Guide to Resins: Understanding the Basics
There are two main types of resins: natural and synthetic. Both types of resins have a rich history. And while we focus on Polymer Resins here, we do feel it's important to educate across both types so that we all better grasp the concepts from a general perspective. Let's begin with a little history lesson ...
The Role of Engineering Thermoplastics in the EV Revolution
The world of engineering thermoplastics continues to "charge" forward within the electric vehicle(EV) revolution. Vehicles, either partially or entirely powered by electricity, are leveraging the power of engineering thermoplastics throughout their manufacturing processes. From battery enclosures to a variety of structural components, engineering thermoplastics are making a significant difference in EV production. Let's break down how engineering thermoplastics play a powerful role in EV products and what the future may hold ...
ASA’s Role in Outdoor Applications Through Weather Resistance
One of polymer resins' strongest suits undoubtedly lies in it's ability to help products endure the elements. This can add years to a product's lifecycle which ultimately helps sell more products to consumers. Product manufacturers heavily focus on weather resistance for this exact reason. Outdoor applications are as popular as ever, particularly in the technology realm; thus, weather-resistant materials such as ASA are a core component. Let's explore how ASA helps bring longer life to a myriad of our everyday ...
