Some time ago, in our laboratories, when asked “What colors can we create?”, the R&D manager replied, without hesitation: “All the colors of the universe!” In fact, why should we limit what we can shape to the boundaries of the “already seen”, when our imagination goes far beyond that? Here,
Generally, we tend to think that an engineering plastic is simply a resistant plastic. The reality, however, is quite different: it is a structural material specifically designed to replace metals and alloys when the relationship between weight and performance proves to be critical. Let’s go in order: technically, engineering plastics
When we enter a kitchen or walk through the aisles of a supermarket, we are surrounded by an undisputed protagonist of modern preservation: polypropylene (PP) certified for food contact, a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer that has redefined the standards of hygiene and practicality in packaging. Choosing the right polypropylene means giving
In plastics processing, injection moulding occupies a position of absolute importance. This technology, in fact, represents the most widespread and versatile method for the production of plastic items on a large scale and allows you to create objects with the right compromise between complex geometries, dimensional accuracy and surface finishes.
Safety in the environments in which we live and work is of significant importance. To this In this regard, it is essential to know that the materials that surround us also play a decisive role. Plastics, for example, due to their polymeric nature, are generally flammable, which would lead to
The transformation of plastics, to give shape to polymers, makes use of different technologies, each characterized by peculiarities that make it ideal for specific applications. Among these, rotational molding stands out as a fascinating and indispensable method for creating objects that other techniques would struggle to make with the same
Those who work in the plastics industry know that in order to obtain materials with specific performance (whether they are, for example, more resilient to the transformation process, more flexible, flame retardant or perfectly colored) it is necessary to carry out a sophisticated polymer processing process known as compounding. At
The need to embrace circular economy models has transformed the way we perceive and manage plastic. The latter, in fact, is no longer seen as end-of-life waste, but as a precious resource to be reintroduced into the production cycle. In this context, plastic regeneration proves to be a fundamental pillar
