Upgrade for plastics specification package
IDES has responded to the need for finding lower cost, better performing resins with the introduction of an all new Prospector plastics search engine.
Search sorts out alternative resins
A novel online Alternative Resin Search facility helps designers and moulders replace higher cost resins and discontinued materials with a single mouse click.
"The resin selector from IDES now available on our website is a great tool to help our organisation respond quickly to customers", said Scott Barnard, Sales Manager at The Materials Group.
"We feel that having datasheets online for the materials we produce and distribute provides a valuable service for our customers and allows us to focus on selling plastics, rather than managing our plastics data".
TMG's resin selector connects customers to their linecard of materials from LG Chem, Mitsubishi Engineering Plastics Corporation, Mitsubishi Rayon America, Rhodia Engineering Plastics and Vi-Chem Corporation.
As the data are drawn directly from IDES's database of more than 55,000 globally available resins, TMG's site is supplied with fresh data every two weeks.
Furthermore, once customers locate specific resins, they can submit requests for resin quotes directly from each material's datasheet.
"The plastics industry is really moving towards providing and accessing information online".
"We're pleased to have The Materials Group choose our services and anticipate helping them save costs over time by providing a valuable tool for both their customers and employees to make informed polymer selection decisions", said Josh Dorrell, Director of New Business Development at IDES.
