We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Polypropylene",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Adhesives complement fixing portfolio from
Anixter Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rite-Lok cyanoacrylate and anaerobic adhesives are fast and easy to use, and form strong bonds to secure components firmly in place".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Recycled polystyrene helps green electronics from
Axion Polymers: "Axpoly PS02 is fully compliant with the European RoHS Directive that bans new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of potentially harmful metals and chemicals".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Michael Smith Engineers
concerning its Thompson DB pumps
- take a look at Plastic pumps handle corrosive environments
which says: "The DB series pumps offer high working pressure capability which means fluids with a high specific gravity can be easily pumped without the need for impeller trimming".
Take a look also at the news release from Polymer Group, Medical materials go up in price,
as well as Switch ranges go way beyond pressure from PVL,
and Batching systems remove colloidal solids from ProMinent Fluid Controls (UK).
