How to Locate RoHS Compliant Plastics
By Melissa Jones, IDES
A customer called in the other day hoping to get a material recommendation for his application. The material had to be a Polycarbonate that was RoHS compliant for use in Electrical Applications and available in North America. While it seemed that there might be endless possibilities given these specifications, I was able to help him quickly locate one material that fit his needs perfectly using the Prospector search tools.

China RoHS Forum
April 11, 2007 - Sunnyvale, CA
China RoHS is not EU RoHS. There are significant differences in the structure, implementation, and enforcement of this directive that you may already be aware of. This is exacerbated by China’s legal infrastructure, which is unfamiliar to many US companies. Complying with China RoHS requires a well thought-out strategy that is cost-effective, thorough, and resilient to the ambiguities surrounding this directive.
Plastic Pressure Drop During Injection Molding
By Suhas Kulkarni, President of FIMMTECH
As plastic flows through the different sections of the injection molding machine and the mold, because of drag and frictional effects there is a loss of the applied pressure at the flow front of the plastic. Additionally, as the plastic hits the walls of the mold, it begins to cool increasing the viscosity of the plastic requiring additional pressure to push the plastic.
