How do alternative materials to plastic packaging perform?

Plastic packaging usually provide the same function with significantly less material mass per functional unit.

Blowing Agent Dispersion

Blowing agents are chemical materials, which decompose by heat and mechanical stress to produce blowing gases for dispersion, which can be trapped within the polymer melt, creating a cellular or foamed structure. By forming this structure, the initial benefit created is a reduction in specific gravity, i.e. weight

Why Use Additive Dispersions?

What are the benefits of using additive dispersants in plastics? An additive dispersion is a means of taking a solid particle (pigment, blowing agent or fire retardant) and dispersing this in a liquid, and to form the particle to then suspend in a solution or paste. Products can be tailored for viscosity, degree of dispersion, additive content and / […]

Plastics and Sustainability

In order for a product or material to be truly described as sustainable it must be environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. These aspects have become known as the Three Pillars of Sustainability. Plastics make a positive contribution to all three pillars of sustainability.  Plastics make an immense contribution to the environmental sustainability through their energy saving potential and intrinsic recyclability and […]
