Woojin Plaimm South Korea s leading injection molding machine manufacturer has unveiled its latest micro physical foam molding technology Clean-Foam marking a new stage in eco-friendly plastic production. Foam molding is a manufacturing process that introduces bubbles into plastic or rubber materials to produce lightweight products with excellent shock absorption. There are two main types of foam molding: Chemical foam molding which uses foaming agents and Physical foam molding which injects gas directly from an external source. Among them physical foam molding is highly regarded for its ability to produce uniform cell structures and easily controlled density making it ideal for automotive interior parts and lightweight structural components. Woojin Plaimm has long been recognised as a pioneer in micro physical foam molding contributing significantly to building a sustainable plastics ecosystem the company said. From Sup...

GE Aviation said that its innovative jet engine cleaning technology 360 Foam Wash has reached 1 000 customers since 2017 when GE first began testing foam wash on fielded engines or engines in service with customers. Included in this milestone are foam washes performed as part of technology trials with GE Aviation s On Wing Support team at customer sites as well as washes that are performed by customers who ve adopted it as part of their aircraft maintenance processes. GE s 360 Foam Wash is an alternative to the water wash method. It restores engine performance leading to reductions in fuel consumption. The process involves injecting a specially-formulated proprietary solution that removes dust and dirt particles in the engine. When compared to cleaning jet engines with water wash foam wash can save an estimated 15 900 gallons of fuel and 168 tons of CO2 emissions per year on a GEnx-powered Boeing 787 aircraft. Wit...

GE Aviation and Etihad Airways have joined hands to launch GE s 360 Foam Wash a groundbreaking jet engine cleaning system to optimise performance of Etihad s GE90 and GEnx-1B engines on its Boeing 777 and 787 fleets. Working with Etihad as a launch partner for the Etihad Greenliner programme to innovate develop and test aviation decarbonisation technologies GE has awarded Etihad technical licences to use GE s patented 360 Foam Wash system on its GE90 and GEnx-1B aircraft engines. Etihad is the first airline to trial GE s Foam Wash with a GE90 engine on wing; receive a GE90 Foam Wash license; and receive licences for multiple GE engine programmes (GE90 and GEnx). The airline s collaboration in the trial process was important to the product s development contributing to GE s data collection and analysis and improving reliability o...

Polymeric foams are widely used in areas that encompass building construction and automotives The first product of a new generation of LDPE foam grades from Sabic has been designed to increase production efficiency at the foam manufacturer. The new Sabic LDPE fast converting foam grades reduce the time that semi-finished products need to be kept in storage thanks to faster degassing of the blowing agent. They can therefore reduce the working capital of foam manufacturers drastically. These new Sabic foam grades also help to create additional value by increasing production efficiency through higher material yield. Polymeric foams are widely used in areas that encompass building and construction automotive packaging sports and leisure and more. Trends in these industries are driven by consumers looking for solutions that are smarter better and more sustainable whilst at the same time reducing total costs.
