Plastics Research
Question:
As a purchasing agent for a custom injection molder, not only am I constantly barraged with 2, 3, and even 5 letter acronyms like LLDPE, but sometimes I get a request for a certain physical properties that are required. I spend more time researching exactly what they want before I can even begin to determine pricing. Can you help make my job easier?

Answer:
Dear Befuddled - I think we have just what you need. On our new web site you'll find helpful resource tools including a list of Common Acronyms for the Plastics Industry and Physical Property Data Sheets on our Polifil® and reprocessed line of resins. You'll also find current Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all our products when you need product safety data. Additional tools to help you include Common Terminology and Conversion Factors. All of this information is set up to be printer friendly so you can keep a copy on file.
