TECH TALK - Recent Advances in Thermal Analysis Reviewed

As sustainability becomes a crucial aspect of materials science, the focus on bio-based alternatives is growing, and basalt fibers fit perfectly in this context, being excellent candidates to replace traditional synthetic fibers such as glass fibers. Their combination with polypropylene (PP), the most widely used thermoplastic polymer in the automotive sector, allows to ...

To ensure a tight fit, the earplugs are first squeezed and then inserted into the ear. There, they seal the ear canal and dampen the ambient noise. Unfortunately, the contact pressure in the earplugs reduces over time and, if you are unlucky, they will fall out again after a while.

Despite their advantages, such as the ability to achieve homogeneous and streak-free color distribution even with minimal addition quantities, they are still often underestimated in the industry. Particularly noteworthy is their efficiency during color changes, which can be achieved with just a few cleaning cycles, resulting in a significant reduction in machine downtime.
