Premix has reached a new milestone on our sustainability journey: our first-ever EcoVadis Gold Medal.
In this blog Christine is elaborating what is Premix’s role in the power cable market and how could an independent compounder become a successful new player in such a conservative industry dominated by polymer producers and cable manufacturers?
Premix Group is thrilled to announce the opening of its state-of-the-art US manufacturing facility in Apple Creek, North Carolina. This facility represents a major step in securing the domestic supply chain for critical diagnostics and other high-impact applications.
In the manufacturing industry, sustainability is a popular topic—but often a distant reality. While corporate ESG goals point in the right direction, everyday decisions such as procurement criteria are still dominated by one driver: cost.
This article discusses the processing and use of Premix’s electrically conductive plastics in the injection molding process. The electrically conductive PRE-ELEC® grades can be successfully molded with normal processing equipment. However, the processing conditions require particular attention due to their significant effect on the resistivity of the molded product.
This article covers some fundamentals, practical tips, and pitfalls related to the resistance and resistivity measurements of electrically conductive plastics. To achieve the most precise outcome, it is essential that you understand the basic measurement procedure and the key factors causing uncertainties in measurements. In this way, the probability of errors will be decreased, and analyzing the outcome of the measurement will be easier.
This post takes a look at the key element of conductive compounds – carbon black – and how it is used for creating the perfect compound mix.
