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 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 ...

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 ...

In healthcare, the materials used serve as a vital influence on the quality of care for patients and the costs they pay. Modern medical device manufacturing advancements hinge primarily on the revolution of polymer resins. Polymer resins are a class of synthetic organic compounds. In manufacturing, it's polymer resins adaptability for complex shaping that makes them a viable component. As polymer science evolves, the medical industry is increasingly leveraging its power. Let's dive deeper into the role of polymer resins ...

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) ...
