    Tech Tip Friday - Know When to Stop

    Thinking about the #TTF episode "Don't Give Up" (which dealt with using a disciplined approach to handle technical issues), "Know When to Stop" talks about no wearing out the welcome mat.   It's easy in sales or in interpersonal negotiations to want to take control and "keep pushing".  Realistically, we need to know when to look at an opportunity and if it's not working, park it.  In sales, like in comedy, timing is everything.  Find Simcoe Plastics Ltd. on Facebook and Instagram.

    Flow Modifiers

    In today's episode, Kurt discusses the various types of additives that are used to alter the flow characteristics of resins.  Broadly speaking, they can be grouped into two types; those that mix mechanically with the resin to reduce friction when flowing, and those that directly target a key area of the material's chemistry to alter viscosity (resistance to flow).
