Thermoplastic mold composite materials, whether short fiber, continuous fiber or hybrid are receiving increasing attention in various industries because of their many advantages, especially in terms of stiffness and specific strength. The advantages in working with thermoplastic molds Thermoplastic molds allow the use of different types of fibers and materials. In the case of using… Continue reading Thermoplastic molds: characteristics of composites used
Among different plastic molding companies, what has made the growth and internationalization of the Ansa Composites Group possible over more than 60 years is the diversity of our people. Our value lies in people As representatives of a niche sector with high technical value, we have built our achievements on the work of our workers… Continue reading The central role of people in the success story of Ansa Composites
According to a U.S. study, the use of alternative materials to plastics leads to greater use of energy, water, climate-altering emissions and waste generation. The study just published, constitutes an in-depth study to an analysis previously published in 2014. The analysis conducted in 2014 used life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology to compare six different types… Continue reading Will replacing plastic packaging really be good for the environment?
The European research project Polynspire was officially launched at the end of September; aimed at identifying new, more economical and environmentally sustainable processes for recycling polymers and plastics from municipal and industrial waste. It aims to process 100 percent of streams containing at least 80 percent plastics. The project, funded with 10 million euros, will… Continue reading A new inspiration for the use of polymers
German company Equipolymers, part of the international Equate Group, with clients such as Coca Cola and Nestlé, has just launched a new food-grade polymer with the highest percentage of recycled matter ever. Viridis 25, the new food-grade polymer (PET) uses up to 25 percent chemically recycled PET as raw material. This reduces the need for… Continue reading The new food-grade polymer composed of recycled plastics
The combination of the potential of plastic composites and 3D printing have revolutionized the two-wheeled world, resulting in an innovative design and high-performance bicycle. Lightness is the most important requirement of commuter bikes. Dedicated to intensive, daily use perhaps taken on the train or subway. In such a context lightness means transportability and maneuverability. True… Continue reading Plastic composites and 3d printing for a revolutionary bicycle
An innovative thermoplastic elastomer hybrid technology was unveiled at Fakuma 2018, the international trade fair for plastics processing. Innovation in thermoplastics The new series called TEH (Thermoplastic Elastomer Hybrids) holds specific properties superior to materials currently on the market and can be formulated according to different application needs and thus able to meet new market… Continue reading An innovative thermoplastic elastomer hybrid technology.
Underlying the exhibition that opened in late October at the Design Museum in Ghent is a very specific idea: to raise awareness of all the possible applications of plastics. “Fibers Fixed. Composites in Design” this is the name of the exhibition that brings together sixty-three projects, from different sectors and intended for multiple fields of… Continue reading Composites on display. Everything you can make with plastics
Through the processing of plastics today, objects with excellent functionality and design are obtained. With its various adjustments, sturdiness, and ergonomic and functional design, Lemo Chair is a tangible example. The plastic chair that tracks development The design of the Lemo Chair manages to achieve a perfect reduction to the essential elements. Its purist simplicity… Continue reading Thanks to plastics, a new modular seat is born
In Europe, plastics companies have recovered. That’s what the Composites Europe report tells us. The main reasons for this positive index are attributed to the great properties of composite materials, their performance, and the new uses that are being made of them. What is happening in plastics companies today? Today, in plastics companies, all possible… Continue reading Composites Europe confirms growth of chemical-plastics companies
