How To Be Forward Looking Company With Sustainable Approach

Image
Business as you know is not about profitability, it has a gone beyond it as DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). The pandemic had changed the way the world used to look at things, there is a disruption in everything. From working from home to telehealth and online shopping, everything has changed faster and quicker than expected. The fact is that there is a disruption everywhere and as a brand, you need to approach it intelligently. Sustainability is one such thing that brands should look at to operate competitively. Here is how the market dynamics are changing and what you need to do. In the era of loyalty disruption: Studies suggest that 90 percent of consumers changed their brands and they say that they are likely to stick to the brands they have newly found. The first thing that attracts them to these new brands is that customers are being served in new ways. Millennials and Gen Z are the groups that are quite proactive in choosing b...

What Are Frangible Projectiles and Lead Free Ammunition

Image
  There’s been a lot of talk lately about lead-free ammunition and frangible projectiles. Lead-free ammunition is, quite simply, ammunition that does not contain any lead. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, but the most common is to use copper instead of lead for the bullet’s core. Frangible projectiles are bullets that are designed to break apart on impact. They are made with a variety of materials, including bronze, brass, and copper. What are frangible projectiles? Frangible projectiles are those that are designed to break up on impact, rather than penetrate through an object. They are typically made from materials such as copper or brass and have a very high velocity; this makes them ideal for use in areas where there is a risk of ricochet or over-penetration. frangible projectiles are projectiles that are made of a material that can be easily broken by an impact. These projectiles are much less likely to cause injury or death than traditional projectiles. ...

Why Thermoplastic Composite Material Is the Best For Frangible Bullets

Image
As a defense contractor, you know that the armed forces need new types of bullets that can penetrate armor, but with less risk to the shooter and less danger to others if they miss their target and shoot something else instead. The answer is frangible bullets made out of thermoplastic composite material. They’re safer, cheaper to manufacture, and lighter. Let’s take a look at why these materials are best for frangible bullets and other frangible ammunition. ? What are frangible bullets? A frangible bullets are type of ammunition that is designed to break apart into small pieces when shot into hard surfaces such as steel or concrete. Frangible bullets are used for training and law enforcement, for the military, and indoor shooting ranges.   Frangible bullets are not used in hunting because they don’t travel a long distance through the air and they don’t have enough momentum to kill the game. frangible bullets are also not suitable for self-defense because they are unlikel...

High-density plastics are the preferred material for producing lead-free ammunition (or “green ammo”) because they provide a better aerodynamic bullet that has superior ballistics. The bullets made from high-density plastic have high mass than a lead bullet of the same diameter. This means that they weigh high and hold more kinetic energy. These bullets are also streamlined and have a less frontal surface area which improves their ballistic coefficient, making them have less drag and better range and angle of ascent. Requirements to use high-density plastic for producing lead free ammunition In order to use high-density plastic to produce lead free ammunition , there are some requirements that must be met. First of all, the plastic has to be hard enough to be formed into a bullet shape. It also has to have enough strength to withstand the firing process.   The plastic must also be able to withstand the heat generated by the burning of the gunpowder. This means that it mus...

The Role Of Heavy Plastic In The Era Of Sustainability

Image
The ESG (Environmental Social Governance) as an idea is gaining traction in corporate settings because environmental safety is vital for human existence on the earth. Years of industrialization and irresponsible actions have deceased the environment, it is time to take some serious actions to have sustainability. CEOs, governments, and world organizations like the UN, and WHO are thinking about radical change so that pollution and deterioration of the environment can be contained. Many policies are coming into play but all that can be materialized when you find viable alternatives, such as heavy plastics which are high density materials that can be used in many applications. The use of heavy plastic for sustainability: The application of engineered plastic can be wide and dynamic, it can be used in many industries. For example, you can replace the dangerous material lead in the medical device industry as heavy plastic can be engineered for radiation shielding. You can use heav...

Why Is HDPE So Popular? Benefits Of Tungsten Polymers

Image
HDPE or high density polyethylene is a thermoplastic. It has a high strength making it suitable for various applications such as storage bottles to pipes. Its melting point is very high compared to other plastics. It accounts for 34% of the worldwide plastic market. HDPE gained wide popularity because products made using it last longer. Its maintenance is very easy. The products made using high density polyethylene are highly safe. The food stored in such containers does not get contaminated. Therefore, you can use high density polymer for food storage without any worries of health hazards. Maintains rigid structure High density polyethylene maintains a rigid structure till it reaches the melting point. You can easily mold it into your desired shape after it reaches the melting point. Therefore, it is ideal for the manufacture of water bottles, food containers, and plastic lumber.   You need not worry about rotting because it is corrosion resistant. It can be used for und...

The Advantages Of Thermoplastic Composite Materials That Different Industries Appreciate

Image
Thermoplastic composites have gained popularity in recent years. These materials combine the strength of fibers with the properties of thermoplastics to create a strong, lightweight final product. Depending on your needs and budget, you can use them for a variety of applications and industries. This article explores the advantages you get from thermoplastic composite materials and explains why they are becoming so popular among manufacturers. Keep reading to learn more about this affordable and high-performance material. A. Lightweight materials One of the main advantages of Thermoplastic composite material is that they are lightweight. They are even lighter than aluminum. This makes them perfect for use in applications where weight is a concern. Thermoplastic composite material is also cost-effective, when compared to other materials, thermoplastics are less dense and have lower specific gravity. This makes them ideal for a variety of applications and industries where weight is...
