At Prism Plastics, quality is baked into every step of the process. The result: 1 billion parts per year with a defect rate less than 1 ppm.

New molding technologies seen at the JEC Composites Show in Paris in April promise dramatically faster cycles than are achievable with autoclaves or RTM. One novel technique rapidly heats and cools a thin tool by "floating" it on a flexible bladder—similar to a water bed—that is flooded with heat-transfer fluid.

Additives that render plastic compounds antistatic or electrically and/or thermally conductive are in hot demand.

The period from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s saw the emergence of a sub-group of engineering thermoplastics that can be called “super-high-heat” plastics.

Three distinguished experts in the area of reactive extrusion shed some light on this process.

Business conditions for the North American plastics industry will continue to improve steadily in 2005.

After expanding by 5% to 6% in 2006, U.S. production of wire and cable products experienced a 1% to 2% decline in 2007.

Part II of our report on the leading international composites show includes news for everything from high-tech aircraft manufacturing to boat building and automotive SMC.

Three forward-thinking custom molders have taken steps to streamline their manufacturing, expand new product development, and add to their customer base—and all in a more cost-effective manner than ever before.

Family-owned former has been in the forefront of sustainable thermoforming and package design for years. Has it been worth the effort?
