Performance in use is determined by more than just material selection. Part design, tool design and material processing are just as critical.
Engineering thermosets and engineering thermoplastics have many similarities, but one fundamental difference. Here is a closer look on what sets them…
Selecting the optimal material type and grade for a particular application can be a challenge given the wide range of commercially available…
Engineering thermosets, like many engineering thermoplastics, have inherent features that make them attractive design options as replacements for…
Bakelite® molding compounds are engineering thermosets (ETS) not engineering thermoplastics (ETP). Once processed and cured, they are infusible and…
Molding ETS parts into complex shape is a matter of the right process. Here we give you a short look at different process approaches and how they…
Usually engineering thermosets are not only molded but undergo further processing to be fit for application. Here are some tips on how ETS parts can…
Parts made from engineering thermosets can be assembled in different ways to fit their applications. Here we shed some light on different assembly…
