Western Case, custom plastic product manufacturers, share the steps to high-quality product design through custom blow molding.

Riverside, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/05/2018 -- Western Case, custom plastic product manufacturers, has an in-house design department to create product designs for customers. Through their years of experience, Western Case has designed plastic products including coolers, toys, sporting goods, wheels, containers, chairs, automotive parts, and safety equipment. To manufacture high quality products, customers need to start with the customer's expectations of quality.

Western Case has experience in many product markets as blow molding manufacturers.

These include:

- Automotive Ducts
- Traffic Safety Products
- Stadium Seating and Chairs
- Containers, Trays, Reservoirs, and Tanks
- Coolers
- Fan Housings
- Floats, Stands, Panels, and Doors
- Toys and Sporting Goods
- Watering Cans and Household Products
- Wheels

If the plastic product is new, and does not currently have a mold, then there are steps to create a high-quality mold. Western Case offers expert blow molding design and engineering support.

Here's what goes into creating a high-quality mold:

1. Solid Works CAD Platform – Western Case works extensively in creating complex shapes and surface modeling.

2. Create a single or multiple cavity mold. The molds are machined and created with aluminum for low production unit cost.

3. Surfaces are created to be complex and non-flat parting line.

4. Molds are designed and built to perform at a high quality for a long time.

5. Each mold is attended to with detail to produce a perfect part during the first run.

6. A wide variety of texture surfaces are available, from sandblast to course texturing.

7. Rapid prototyping is available when needed for assistance in product design.

Since businesses require a steady production of products and services to be sustainable, a prototype must be designed, tested, and analyzed before being brought to the market.

There are four factors that must be considered before bringing the idea to the market:

1. Assemble the prototype. The mold must be created to manufacture the prototype. Western Case has made this process to be cost effective.

2. Focus on high quality. A company can have both speed of product creation and high quality. Western Case offers both with our manufacturing lines.

3. Affordable design costs. The cost of the materials is a critical factor to keep costs down and produce a high quality product. Western Case has our customers covered with cost effective materials and line runs.

4. Control quality. Having consistent products manufactured is critical in customer satisfaction. At Western Case, we commit to meeting our customers' expectations in quality, delivery, and cost in manufacturing products. We develop a checklist for our QA staff to ensure consistency in each production run.

Minneapolis, MN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/19/2018 -- After 40 years of leading Diversified Plastics, Inc. to success, James R. Dow retires as president. Succeeded by Kevin G. Hogan in August 2017, Dow will continue to serve as chairman of the board for Diversified Plastics, an award-winning, custom plastic-injection molder of high-precision thermoplastic components.

"As a result of Jim's exceptional leadership, the company has a firm foundation," says Hogan. "From this position of strength, Diversified Plastics is advancing with a growth initiative for continued success and prosperity."

Dow and William J. Cullen founded the company in 1977 with 13 employees and three machines, operating from a 2,500-square-foot facility. Diversified Plastics has grown to include over 75 employees and operates from a 52,000-square-foot facility with state-of-the-art equipment. Diversified Plastics provides exceptionally high-quality parts that meet high-tolerance guidelines. These parts can be found in developing nations creating clean water, in lithium-ion batteries, dental X-ray machines and NASA's Juno spacecraft instruments. In November 2011, the company was sold to its employees through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).

"Since the early days, we have had a family culture at Diversified Plastics," says Dow. "When planning for retirement, I met with several potential buyers who made good offers. I was concerned that long-term employees would be terminated through consolidation or relocation. I believed that they deserved better. So, the employees became the owners."

Prior to founding Diversified Plastics at the age of 40, Dow held various positions at an electronics firm for over 13 years. Dow also served in the U.S. Army for four years, achieving the rank of captain. He graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts major in American studies.

"Jim created a safe environment for employees to develop new skills, take risks and learn," says Annette Lund, vice president of Diversified Plastics, Inc. "I started working at Diversified Plastics as a receptionist. Jim encouraged me to complete my degree and passed along his technical knowledge. A mentor and a friend, he has truly helped me get to where I am today."

Dow strongly believes in giving back to the community. Dow and the Diversified Plastics team participate in many charitable activities every year, including providing school tours to educate youth about opportunities in manufacturing. Involved in the Rotary for over 30 years, Dow has served on several boards including DEED, North Hennepin Area Chamber of Commerce, North Hennepin Community College Foundation and others. Dow has also created curriculum for upper-level molding technicians for a local college.

Miami, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/06/2017 -- Timeplast, the world's first and only nano-degraded plastic which promises to end plastic pollution forever, is live on global crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and raising funds to bring the project to life.

1500 years will pass before a single piece of plastic dissolves into the earth. Nearly all plastic that has ever been created still exists today. Just in the U.S. alone, 694 plastic bottles are thrown away every second. Nowadays so-called biodegradable additives only break plastic into microscopic plastic which is even worse for the environment, and studies show that only a small percentage of plastic bottles are ever even recycled, and not even recycled but down-cycled.

"Studies show how micro plastics like BPA are linked to several health issues, some of them horrifying, like the direct correlation between miscarriages and high levels of this component, or the ability to accumulate in our bodies generation after generation through biomagnification; and it's happening!," says Timeplast CEO Manuel Rendon. "Nowadays 93% of all Americans have BPA in their bodies, this is very scary. There's almost no place in the world we won't find plastic polluting."

Timeplast is the first and only company in the U.S. with a patent approved by the USPTO on the nano-degradation of plastic. It is also the only green technology in the plastics industry that has a scientifically tested and proven claim beyond a reasonable doubt. Timeplast has managed the impossible, by disintegrating the carbon-to-carbon covalent bonds in plastic during the manufacturing process to create a 97.79% wax-based plastic that behaves, looks and feels exactly as regular plastic.

Rather than passing on the burden of degrading plastic to Nature, Timeplast degrades it at the manufacturing process, lowering 98% of any plastic's chemical lifespan by disintegrating the carbon-to-carbon covalent bonds from the start. In other words, Timeplast plastic does 97.79% of the required effort that Nature would otherwise do, leaving a plastic with only a 2.21% lifespan which is more than enough for all of today's applications.

"We are the first and only technology approved by the USPTO on the actual chemical degradation of plastic, and not the "bio"degradation of plastic. All of the alternatives for the plastic pollution problem are based on Mother Nature biodegrading plastic waste, and it turns out she can't," adds Rendon. "Biodegradation of plastic has been debunked and proven that only works in unrealistic laboratory conditions, but in reality, and in the best case scenario, plastic would only look like it's biodegrading, only to be disappearing from sight and becoming a dangerous micro plastic that will now enter the food chain."

Timeplast is currently live and available to support on Kickstarter: http://kck.st/2y50iOY.

About Timeplast
Timeplast is an U.S. Nano-technology Company that specializes in the alteration and reengineering of polymers at the manufacturing process of a plastic piece, with the solely purpose of marking by Solvation and Oxidation weak spots on the polymer chain for it not to be longer than paraffin wax's once it eventually breaks down.

Ingotech introduces their newest innovation via the ‘Ingo Glow: World’s 1st Glow in Dark Moldable Plastic’ project on Indiegogo. The team behind this campaign is crowdfunding to bring this exciting new luminary moldable plastic to market.

Perth, Western Australia -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/03/2016 -- Ingotech, the brilliant team that brought Ingo moldable plastic to the world, has launched a new crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo. This campaign has a funding goal of $3000, which needs to be raised in order to bring their newest innovation "Ingo Glow" to market. Ingo Glow is the new version of their highly popular Ingo moldable plastic. Ingo is a biodegradable polymer that is completely non-toxic and moldable when softened in hot water. It was introduced to the public when the team had a successful campaign earlier this year, and they have already delivered the original Ingo to their enthusiastic supporters. After getting rave reviews from the crowd, the team is now ready to introduce version 2: Ingo Glow, a glow-in-the-dark type of their original Ingo moldable plastic.

The Ingo product is handy and pocket-sized, ultra-strong, biodegradable, reusable, and can be quickly heated and molded to practically any shape for immediate application. It can be used to fix virtually anything, such as replacing broken handles on tools, broken drawer handles, replacing a missing bottle cap, creating a portable holder for smartphones and devices, etc. The added bonus of Ingo Glow is that it can also be used to create illumination for something a person wants to keep track of in the dark, or simply for creating fun crafts and jewelry. A person can make a key cap to see their keys at night, attach Ingo Glow to a light switch to help find it in the dark, make fun glow in the dark toys for kids, illuminate a dark passageway, create fun crafts, attach it to a flashlight to make it easier to find in a power outage, or anything they can imagine. Ingo Glow can be used for a vast array of purposes, with the only limitations being a user's own imagination. It will initially be released in two colors: blue with a green glow, and green with a yellow glow.

The team at Ingotech has been working very diligently on all of the essential groundwork for their Ingo Glow and they are now ready to begin the process of bringing it to market which is why they have launched their Indiegogo campaign, and hired a team of crowdfunding specialists to help them spread the word. As an added bonus with this campaign, the team is offering several perks. These perks, which serve as funding incentives, give supporters the opportunity to pre-order Ingo Glow at a substantial savings off of regular retail prices. Supporters can pre-order a single set of 4 bars starting at only $7, or get various multi-packs that also include original Ingo. The team has a projected delivery date starting in September 2016, and since delivery of original Ingo has already taken place, they have no reason to expect delays.

Full details can be found on their Indiegogo campaign page.

West Palm Beach, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/20/2016 -- Glidecoat, the Smart Surface Technology provider of Nano Coating, is now revolutionizing the inflatable marine vessel industry with Glidecoat Inflatable coating—and industry leaders are praising its benefits.

"Amazing, smooth and extremely durable," is how chief executive officer of Argos Nautics, Ignacio Vadillo, described the innovative new product.

The proprietor of a fleet of luxury inflatables was experiencing a myriad of issues, above and below the water, before discovering the benefits of Glidecoat Inflatable coating, saying, "In the Caribbean sun the material gets damaged very easily. It has a ten-year warranty, but the color fades quickly and once it gets algae or barnacles it gets really damaged."

Glidecoat was the immediate solution to both of Argos Nautics issues according to the CEO, "Its amazing. You get a very, very smooth surface, the color doesn't change, in fact, it looks brighter, very nice."

Inflatable's exclusive formulation also repelled both algae and barnacle's ability to adhere to the rubberized material. Designed specifically for the needs of the inflatable boat industry, Nano-polymers seal the pores in the material and protect against damaging UV rays. Independent lab results verify inflatable boats treated with Glidecoat Inflatable have 45% less color loss and fading after a year of high-intensity UV exposure.

The benefits, however, do not stop there according to Glidecoat managing director Paul Westhorpe, "Our Inflatable product was developed expressly for the needs of the inflatable boat industry and its specific needs. It not only protects against the elements and sea life, but also soft impacts, all while increasing the lifespan of the material by 25%. This is our contribution to the industry and it is effective."

Vadillo, who has twenty years' experience in the boat manufacturing industry, was so impressed by the effectiveness of Glidecoat Inflatables that he intends to coat all of Argos Nautics Inflatables with the product from this point forward.

Glidecoat Inflatable is available at your local Marine Dealer and online at www.Glidecoat.com. The kit includes everything you need for an easy application and fresh start.

The Yorkshire Rows crew lauds Glidecoat technology after completing their record making Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge trek.

Plantation, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/24/2016 -- On February 26, 2016, Janette Benaddi, Helen Butters, Niki Doeg and Frances Davies stepped off of their Rannoch 45 vessel in English Harbour, Antigua and into the record books as the oldest all female team to row any ocean—graciously taking Glidecoat's technology along for the 3,000 nautical mile journey.

"We were meant to clean (the bottom of the vessel) every two weeks. I think because of the Glidecoat that probably kept us going longer, because we didn't have the opportunity to clean it. And the salt buildup, we just didn't have that in the boat. Glidecoat was unbelievable," Butters said.

The company, which provides Nano-coating for aviation and marine vessels, applied its cutting-edge Smart Surface Technology (SST) Nano-composite to the vessel, dubbed "the Rose", in England. The Challenge commenced in San Sebastian in La Gomera.

After sixty-seven days, a three-day storm and countless 30-foot swells, the Rose arrived in English Harbour barnacle-free, residue-free and scratch-free. Delivering on Glidecoat's promise as a sponsor for the Yorkshire moms.

"The ability to coat a rowboat that is traversing the Atlantic is in itself cool. We recognized that it would help Yorkshire Rows out and minimize the number of marine organisms and barnacles that were on the boat," Glidecoat managing director, Paul Westhorpe, said.

The company was unable to coat the entire vessel, as it was hitched to a trailer. This unforeseen hiccup that left eight linear feet of the Rose untreated turned out to be quite fortuitous—allowing marine specialists to analyze both treated an untreated sections of the boat simultaneously.

"We were able to test our product in one of the most extreme environments during the most extreme boating challenge and the treatment fared very well. The examination found the Nano-protected areas were shielded from the elements," the managing director revealed.

He noted Glidecoat does not intend to "rest on its laurels", but will continue to improve and perfect its innovative technology.

Westhorpe, however, preferred to focus on the brave women of Yorkshire Rows.

"Although we are pleased with the performance of Glidecoat, we are even more impressed with the performance of the women of Yorkshire Rows. What they have accomplished is amazing. They are an inspiration and we are honored to be a part of their success," Westhorpe said.

International Pen and Ink Manufacturer finds the precise grip for their new product line with global thermoplastic elastomer producer – KRAIBURG TPE

Duluth, GA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/12/2016 -- Late last year, KRAIBURG TPE Americas, the manufacturer of tailor-made thermoplastic elastomers received the 2014-2015 Best International Supplier Award from Zebra Pen, a producer of writing instruments, in Monterrey Mexico. Alberto Oba, Director of KRAIBURG TPE Mexico, accepted the award on KRAIBURG TPE America's behalf. It was given based on outstanding service, consistent product quality and competitive pricing.

KRAIBURG TPE Americas and Zebra Pen have been collaborating since February 2014, when their respective representatives initially met at Plastimagen – a national plastics exhibition in Mexico City, Mexico. One of KRAIBURG TPE America's custom technologies from its THERMOLAST® K series was the solution for the grips needed on two of Zebra Pen's product lines: Orbitz and Sarasa.

For their Sarasa Gel Pen grip, Zebra was seeking a TPE with high coefficient of friction, optimal adhesion to polypropylene, and that would be easily pigmented to match their array of ink colors. The material processing and physical properties aligned extremely well with this application. Because of this success, Zebra then decided to utilize the same grade for their Orbitz pen line.

Similarly, the custom TPE manufacturer aided in the optimization of Zebra's logistics. Before partnering with KRAIBURG TPE Americas, Zebra was purchasing TPE overseas, resulting in a higher cost to acquire and store material. The thermoplastic elastomer producer not only provided a quality product that fit Zebra's application requirements, but was able to streamline their supply chain to a more cost efficient level.

Cherry Hill, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/09/2015 -- On August 15, 2015 Pathfinder officially completed its 40th year in business. Pathfinder was established in 1975, by Lou and Helen Cabano, as a totally independent project management consulting and training firm specializing in project planning and execution in numerous industry sectors across the globe. Services cover all aspects of project planning and execution, from strategic planning to start-up, from concept to production. Pathfinder clients are assured business success through innovative project management solutions facilitated by a seasoned staff. Pathfinder's experience and expertise can generate a capital cost and schedule certainty on new or retrofit, small to mega-scale projects, as well as similar outcomes on routine outages to large, complex turnaround projects. Pathfinder has provided support to over 4,100 projects representing over $625B worth of capital investment.

Lou and Helen and their original expert staff of core professionals boot-strapped Pathfinder from an initial domestic based operation to a world-wide enterprise during the Company's first 10 years and continued to expand its activities and client base over the next 20 years. Leadership of the Company transferred from Lou and Helen to their son Steve Cabano in 2005, under whom it has continued to grow, diversify and prosper. Being subject to the fluctuations of the industrial capital investment workload cycles, to which Pathfinder's support business depends, has been challenging at times, but diversification and belt-tightening has allowed the Company to sustain itself during these reduced workload periods.

Both Lou and Steve Cabano steadfastly attribute the Company's success and longevity to the cadre of outstanding, experienced and dedicated technical and administrative staff they have been able to attract and maintain over the years.

In celebration of this commendable achievement Pathfinder hosted current and previous employees for an afternoon picnic in the parking lot of its Cherry Hill, NJ headquarters. Photos include speeches by Steve, Lou and Helen and a visit from the Cherry Hill Fire Department.

The astrospec - an uvex classic safety glass design from the 90s, is reborn in an all-new design. Its predecessor retains the original lines, while supplementing the product with all the functions required for modern safety glasses: A frame from KRAIBURG TPE made of COPEC® ensures secure holding without pressure spots and keeps it velvety-soft for the wearer and holder.

Waldkraiburg, Germany -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/20/2015 -- The new astrospec 2.0 involved processing high-tech materials into a set of safety glasses, which combine innovative functionality with unmatched standards of safety. The flexible safety glasses frame employs the COPEC® Thermoplastic Elastomers from the specialist manufacturer KRAIBURG TPE. They remain firmly in place, on any face, while retaining a silky-smooth feeling against the skin, for unbeatable wearer comfort. The frame also features triple adjustment, while the glasses can be folded flat together after use.

Eyes are protected using a flattened curve wraparound lens made of polycarbonate and with built-in side protection. The lens coating prevents fogging and scratching. Finally, a ventilation system keeps the climate comfortable for eyes while preventing any risk of liquids or foreign bodies entering into the eye area.

COPEC®: Offers unbeatable feel and repels dirt
COPEC® is processed as part of dual-component injection molding with polycarbonate (PC). A production approach which simplifies manufacturing, slashes cycle times and eliminates the need for additional work procedures. The material resists dirt and withstands the everyday external stresses to which it is exposed – including UV radiation as well as skin oils and lubricating greases. It is also totally harmless to the wearer of the glasses: TPE is free of all latex, PVC and heavy metals. Moreover, COPEC® is also recyclable. KRAIBURG TPE has its own in-house coloristic division, to get the color of the material exactly as the customer wants. Further advantages of TPE compounds include the ease of coloring they allow and their excellent color stability.

Long-standing collaboration
UVEX and KRAIBURG TPE joined forces to collaborate as early as the astrospec 2.0 predecessor, as well as on many other projects. This was also the case for the pheos safety glasses, which were honored with the German Design Award in 2013.

Ueber UVEX
UVEX WINTER HOLDING GmbH & Co. KG is a trio of multinational companies under one roof: uvex safety group, uvex sports group (Uvex sports and Alpina) as well as Filtral. The uvex group has a presence including 47 subsidiaries in 20 countries, characterized for its forward-looking production, which centers on Germany.
