Anhydrides: A Critical Ingredient for Advanced Epoxy Applications
Epoxy resins have long been used in a wide variety of applications, from coatings to adhesives to protective layers and more. And as technology advances the need for improved epoxy resins has increased as well–and so has the need for epoxy curing agents. Broadview has been developing anhydrides for use […]

Potting Compounds: Protecting PCBs in Harsh Environments
Potting compounds are a crucial part of PCB assemblies, protecting the individual components as well as the board as a whole from a variety of environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture, dust, and more. Specialty compounds also offer general protection from contaminants and corrosion, helping to maintain the performance of […]

The Future of Specialty Plasticizers is Resoflex
Broadview Technologies, in partnership with Cambridge Industries, developed a line of plasticizers designed to improve material handling properties for the purpose of manufacturing. Now, Broadview is in the process of developing the next generation of Resoflex plasticizers which will enable high-performance, environmentally sustainable polymer solutions for the industries we rely […]

Top Innovations in Epoxy Resins for Outdoor Power Equipment Casting
Electrical equipment and the outdoors rarely go well together. From ever-changing weather conditions to constant abrasion from dirt, dust, wind, rain, and UV rays, outdoor power equipment and electronics are always under barrage from the elements. However, much of our country’s infrastructure relies on outdoor power equipment to maintain its […]

Polyanhydrides: Bio-based Alternatives for the Future
One of the most unique aspects about polyanhydrides compared to other types of specialty anhydrides is that they’re biodegradable. These types of polymers consist of anhydride bonds that break down in water, resulting in smaller chains that are much more easily degraded–and, especially important for pharmaceuticals, are also biocompatible. However, […]
Unlocking the Potential of Polyanhydrides for Food Packaging and Related Applications
In one of our previous articles, we explored the wide range of applications that polyanhydrides can serve thanks to their versatility. This time, we’re going to focus on the use of polyanhydrides for food packaging and pharmaceutical applications. Polyanhydrides–Engineered for Biocompatibility and SafetyOne of the major benefits of polyanhydrides is that […]
