Adding foaming agents to PVC dryblends helps reduce material consumption and lower production costs for lightweight pipes. However, selecting the right additive is crucial to maintain mechanical strength and ensure process stability. Learn about the key differences between ADC (azodicarbonamide) and OBS (oxobisbenzenosulfonylhydrazid), their activation temperatures, and how to achieve proper homogenization in PVC recycling. Find out what matters most when incorporating foaming agents into your dryblends.

Onboarding is more than just procedures – it's the key to a fast and effective adaptation for new employees. Sales and marketing also have structured processes that can be documented and standardized. Digital onboarding helps companies save time, ensure knowledge consistency, and reduce turnover. Instead of relying on new hires to "learn on their own," businesses should implement digital training programs available 24/7 and tailored to their specific needs.

At Rolbatch Laabs Academy, we conducted a Plastic Recycling training session for recycling and plastic processing companies. We covered plastic identification, the impact of regranulate contamination on film quality, and key parameters like MFI, density, and moisture content. Understanding these factors helps companies reduce waste and improve product quality. Find out why training should involve not only the technical department but also machine operators to enhance production efficiency.

The automotive industry is in crisis. With China leading the market, European manufacturers must adapt to new challenges. Recycled plastics are becoming an industry standard, but they will not solve rising production costs or supply chain disruptions. Germany is losing its dominance as China develops its own closed-loop recycling systems. How will European injection molding companies and recyclers position themselves in this changing landscape?

Raw material prices seem to be constantly changing, but are these shifts driven by real market dynamics or strategic supplier tactics? Many businesses in the plastics processing and recycling industry have noticed that price announcements don’t always align with actual costs. While some companies still stockpile materials, others now buy only when needed. But is this the right approach? In this article, we analyze pricing trends, common supplier strategies, and how companies can avoid being caught in market manipulation.

Silicone cables are increasingly used in automotive, electronics, aerospace, drones, and medical industries. Their temperature resistance, flexibility, and durability make them superior to traditional PVC and PUR wires. Manufacturers are seeking high-quality silicone components, and the growing demand makes this industry profitable and future-proof. Find out where silicone cable production is most lucrative and how to enter this expanding market.

The first 60 minutes after you publish a LinkedIn post are crucial. LinkedIn’s algorithm tests your content by showing it to a small, engaged group and tracking key signals:
✔ diverse reactions,
✔ thoughtful comments,
✔ time spent reading, and
✔ shares.
If these indicators are strong, your post expands to a broader audience and may go viral. To boost your reach, craft valuable content with a strong opening, ask your network for early, meaningful comments, and engage actively with others.
