The Stratek Tek-MixTM Process Provides Lower Temperatures and Lower Pressures
Ideal for Biomaterial Processing
In the field of biomaterials, survivability is enhanced when materials are processed at lower temperatures and lower pressures. These requirements are key features of Stratek’s Tek-MixTM mixing and blending technology. For more information on the benefits of the Tek-MixTM process , click here. For more on "Bio-Plastics" we recommend an article in the July Issue of Plastics Technology Magazine titled "Additives Are Needed for Toughness, Heat Resistance & Processability".
The above article by Lilli Manolis Sherman, Senior Editor, appears in the July Issue of Plastics Technology Magazine. This article addresses the issue of plastic materials going “green,” but it also advises that these materials will need some help to get there. Biodegradable polymers derived from renewable resources are attracting lots of interest and publicity, but that enthusiasm is counterbalanced by persistent questions of availability, cost, performance, and processability. All these issues are inter-related: Increasing demand will lead to more capacity, which will presumably lead to lower prices. But the foundation is market demand, which ultimately depends on whether biopolymers will have the performance properties and processability to compete with existing non-renewable plastics.
