Visit to China was Very Successful

As president of Polymics, I once again was given the honor of being invited to be a speaker at a materials conference. I was excited to learn that this conference was going to be held in China.

It was a good trip and I got to meet some interesting people who are also pioneering the limits of engineering plastics.

One such man is doing research on ways to make PEEK not only bio-degradable but child safe. This could potentially turn into a very lucrative market nitch: baby toys that are truely indestructable.

He went on to explain that these chew rings and building blocks were not just dish-washer safe, but could be sterilized at 600 F if the mother so chose. Not only that, but the potential for these blocks to be passed on from generation to generation is huge. Imagine, a rattle or chew toy that had been held by the great minds of yester-year. Your many times great grandfather that helped build the elevator to the moon chewed on a ring that the next genius is able to play with care-free.

We exchanged business cards. I hope to be in touch with him about applications of PEEK in the world of cribs.

Houston Branch Making Great Strides

I am happy to hear about our new website that is under-way.

An intern in the Houston sales division has made it her personal project this summer before she returns back to Texas A&M for school.

Stay tuned for the official-switch over, but I have gotten to preview the prototype and it is going to be more informative, easier to navigate, and a lot better overall.
