Well, colour me pink! That’s how Masterbatch works

02/06/2021

If you’re looking to achieve a splash of colour, texture, or even anti-bacterial properties into your plastic components, chances are your moulder is using masterbatch in the mix.

Is greener innovation in aerospace possible?

02/06/2021

Current legislation, aimed at curbing emissions, is fuelling materials innovation for aerospace components and, as global standards get more stringent, the pace of change is quickening. Now is the time for design engineers to look beyond traditional choices, to prompt radical transition, urges Richard Thompson, Commercial Director of Alvant.
