SABIC's NORYL™ resins have emerged as a game-changer, offering advanced properties that meet the rigorous demands of EV applications. Bamberger Amco Polymers helps you harness the full potential of NORYL resins and make your mark in the EV industry.

Imagine a material with outstanding toughness, strength over a wide range of flexibility and stiffness (modulus), while providing significant part design freedom. Sound too good to be true? It's TPU!

In my years of tech service, I have spent many hours at a press trying to optimize the cycle time of a part, and discovered that not enough process technicians and engineers understand the demolding temperature of their plastic parts.

Polycarbonate (PC) is an amorphous thermoplastic with a glass temperature of 150 degrees C, which allows it to be used at elevated temperatures. One of its most prominent properties is its high impact resistance.

Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are low modulus, flexible materials that can repeatedly be stretched at room temperature and return to their approximate original size when stress is released.

One of the major suppliers that we work with at Bamberger Amco is BASF Corporation. Since the 1930s, BASF has been a key industry leader in plastics development.

This may be surprising because typically we see plastics as impervious to water. However, on a microscopic scale, impurities in the polymer react with the water in the air.

Bamberger Amco Polymers is thrilled to provide SABIC’s customers with specialty engineering thermoplastics and related services in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Polystyrene (PS) is one of the most popular thermoplastic materials in the world, but depending on your application you’ll want to use High-Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) or General-Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS).

In general, as moisture content rises, significant increases occur in impact strength and other energy absorbing characteristics of the material. Nylons, having a ‘polar’ structure attract moisture. The amount of moisture absorbed depends on several factors.

Understanding the complex dynamics of molecular weight in polymer science is fundamental for optimizing material performance and functionality.
