Today's TTF covers buying resin in our current (and uncertain) times.  Despite being what Kurt would call a buyer's market, please remember to allow the seller to cover their costs, so they can continue to provide their support and service.  It doesn't have to be a zero sum game.  Everyone can have a small win.

In today's TTF, Kurt talks about the differences (and some similarities) between a water soluble resin and a biopolymer.  These resins are very different and have different and unique applications.

In this episode, Kurt discusses the Sulapac product line from Helsinki, Finland that Simcoe Plastics will be selling across Canada.  Formulated for injection, extrusion, thermoforming, and 3D printing, these highly innovative polymers offer not just the processor, but the designer a new range of tools to express their brand in the marketplace.  Exciting and kind to the planet!

In today's #TTF, Kurt shows samples from last week's Sulapac haul.  He's focusing on the wood fibre filled materials that offer a very attractive appearance and are truly in the spirit of biopolymers.

A major product haul!  Courtesy of Sulapac in Helsinki, Finland, I received a large box of product made with Sulapac's biopolymer.  Simcoe Plastics will be tasked with finding new applications for this durable, but biodegradable polymer.  The sample products look good, feel good, and are good for the environment!
