The common problem of many manufacturers is that the flame retardant effect of the flame retardant is not obvious, and the flame retardancy is uneven. On the same board, some places have obvious flame retardancy, some places have poor flame retardancy effects, and some places are flame retardant. T... read more
Let’s start with a definition for polymerization itself.Polymerization, as a chemical reaction, may occur with solids, liquids, or gases. Since solid state reactions are slow, and since gas-phase reactions require high temperatures (which leads to instability when trying to achieve a high molecular... read more
Often, when manufacturers are sourcing and procuring raw materials, they like to investigate the differences between natural and synthetic alternatives. With some types of raw materials, sourcing natural products is almost always a better option. While there are certainly some good applications fo... read more
Understanding how a latex binder forms a film is critical to understanding how many modern products are made. That’s because so many products we use every day — coatings, adhesives, and composites — are made when wet latex is transformed into a final film material. Film formation is highly modifiabl... read more
A latex is a dispersion of polymeric particles or droplets in liquid, which sounds simple enough. But the chemistry, mechanics and processes used to create synthetic latex (also referred to as an emulsion polymer) are a bit more complicated. Read on for a comprehensive overview of the science of la... read more
