In order to achieve consistent part quality – regardless of whether a part is being molded in Germany, Mexico, or China, on a hot humid summer evening or a cold dry winter day – processors everywhere are searching for tools that bring greater stability and more reliable control over their molding processes. Given all the […]

In order to produce quality thermoset parts quickly and consistently, processors need real-time access to four pieces of data at any given point in each molding cycle: How close are you to the material’s gel point? What is the material’s current glass transition temperature (Tg)? What is the current degree of cure (DoC) for the […]

Since thermoplastic materials are already prepolymerized and do not cross-link during the molding process, many processors like injection or compression molders can produce good parts with just in-mold pressure and temperature sensors. However, with next-generation sensors that provide accurate materials characterization data in real time—what sensXPERT’s in-mold dielectric monitoring system provides—most thermoplastic molders could produce […]

The plastics industry has seen significant changes in the last years – both at the macro and micro level. We have closely looked at current industry trends in two webinars and shed light on the challenges of processing thermosetting materials. Utilizing the multi-faceted opportunities that digitization and collaboration have to offer allows the transformation of […]

Our society depends on elastomers. From sport and leisure activities to health care, transportation and material handling, elastomers or rubber can be found in almost all of our everyday products. Due to their high resistance to heat, oils, acids and mechanical stress, rubber materials like NBR and EPDM are used to produce tires, sealing rings, […]

Setting New Production Standards for the Future of Driving As more and more car manufacturers work on developing EVs (electrical vehicles) and the adoption of these vehicles is set to accelerate in the coming years, the topic of light weighing car components continues to move into the spotlight. Reducing car weight is one of the […]

Next-Level Composite Production: Sustainable, Highly Productive, Efficient As we continue to move towards a world where our streets will see more and more electric vehicles, composite materials continue to move into the spotlight.
