  Have you ever wondered why Taiwan is an automation and automotive parts manufacturing stronghold? In this episode, you will be explaining the first two streams, which are upstream and midstream, which are the initial points for the following procedure of the automotive industry.

In this episode, we will uncover a series of online and offline information about machines and manufacturers related to the Plastics and Rubber Industry. Due to the pandemic many international exhibitions have been cancelled, postponed or even transformed into a digital exhibition. This has led us to become victims of the ones who attend international exhibitions. Nevertheless, for every challenging time there's always an opportunity to develop and become better. Following this philosophy we have brought a solution for the international companies in the related field who have been affected by the current situation. Check the video above to know more about the solutions we bring to the ones who are passionate about attending international exhibitions!

Climate Change, Extreme Weather, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Plastic Reduction, those topics have been discussed for many years. What should we do to help the environment better? Starting not to use the air-conditioner, not to eat meats that might decrease a little. Moreover, we could take action to use reusable materials, to reduce the frequency of ordering food delivery and use eco-friendly products. In this episode, we are conveying messages about the global warning to everyone that might lead you to think “What should we do for the Earth?”

In blow molding, hollow plastic components are formed through a producing process categorized into three main methods: injection, extrusion, and injection stretch blow molding.  In this episode of PRM What to Say, the plastic blow molding process is explained. Besides, we also mentioned some common benefits of the blow molding production method. For more info and machine manufacturer info, you can refer PRM-TAIWAN Blow Molding Machine category at Blow Molding Machine Category Since blow molding allows freedom for design and engineering, the range of applications that you can manufacture by blow molding is really wide. The automotive industry, Appliance components, Medical supplies and parts, Children’s toys, Packaging, Sporting Goods, and Industrial bulk containers are where we see blow molded products often. The blow molding process is very suitable for automation.  Especially using the robot technology for take out units and packaging offers the benefit of faster production. Besides that, you can also reduce labor costs by using automation.

In this episode, we will open a special page for TPU and TPE, TPR materials. Because there are several common confusions about them. Then, let’s understand the differences and fields of application of those innovative materials together. 【TPE/TPR】 Both TPE(Thermoplastic Elastomer) and TPR(Thermoplastic Rubber) belong to the family of Thermoplastic Elastomers, and there isn’t a defined industry standard to distinguish them. But, it is certain that TPE is made from SEBS, while TPR is made from SBS block copolymers. [TPE/TPR Applications] TPE/TPRs are great for anywhere that flexibility, comfort, or cost savings are needed. They are a top choice for medical applications like surgical and dental tubing and also tubing used in the food/beverage industry. 【TPU】 TPU(Thermoplastic polyurethane ) is a soft polyether type polyurethane that is available in a range of hardness grades, which gives a diverse application range to TPU. There are two main types based on soft segment chemistry: Polyester-based TPUs, and Polyether-based TPUs. [TPU Applications] With their resistance properties, TPU is superior for use anywhere that ozone, extreme temperatures, and high levels of abrasion are a concern. In addition to medical uses, TPU is also a popular material for sporting goods, tubing, wire, protective coatings, and more. All those materials above are alternatives for natural rubber and are easy to manufacture. Moreover, those materials can be 100% recycled.
