Happy New Year from your friends at IDES!

Quite a bit has transpired in 2006 - a brief recap is provided below (Plastics Year in Review - 2006).

Wait 'til you see what's headed your way in 2007! We're working hard to provide you with additional information for each plastic found in Prospector - things like design and processing guides, application data, MSDS and much more! We're also working on a Plastics Marketplace.

Let us know how we're doing or drop us a line to let us know what things you'd like to see us accomplish for you this year.

Warmest wishes,
The IDES Team
