In this issue:
Prior to the last NPE in 2006, we surveyed our users and found that 40% of respondants were attending NPE to work with their suppliers to find alternative resins. With the current economy, we're guessing that finding a better performing or more cost-effective alternative is still on your minds. So if you plan to attend NPE, stop by our booth and we’ll help you by using the Alternative Resins Search in Prospector. We'll print a datasheet comparing possible grades so that you’ll have the data in-hand when talking with your suppliers. We'll be in the West Hall, Booth #128031. See you in Chicago! - The IDES Team Premium Melting Specialty Metals
