New Shin‑Etsu LSRs: Optical Clarity for LEDs and Nylon‑Bonding Self‑Adhesive Technology

3D printing materials span a broad spectrum of polymers, and selecting the appropriate one hinges on your printer type, the intended application, and environmental demands. Our clients frequently ask, “Which material should I use?” While the answer is rarely straightforward, a clear understanding of

Nylons are a common class of plastics that have been around since the 1930s. They are a polyamide polymer traditionally used in a number of common plastic manufacturing processes for plastic films, metal coatings and tubing for oil and gas – among other things. In general, nylons are imm

Nylons are a family of strong engineering plastics. Nylons are low-friction plastics, which makes them ideal for replacing metal components like bearings or bushings. Additionally, nylons create less operating noise and wear on mating parts, often allowing for external lubrication to be

Engineering plastics, a group of plastics that have better mechanical and thermal properties than other plastics, are often used as replacements for traditional engineering materials such as wood, metal, or rubber. Two of the most commonly used engineering plastics are acetal (known by m
