SPE Announces TA Instruments as Preferred Partner

The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) recently announced TA Instruments as a SPE Preferred Partner. A SPE Preferred Partner is a converter, manufacturer, solutions provider, or product distributor that has been recognized by SPE for demonstrated leadership and innovation in the plastics industry. Their products and services are valuable to SPE’s members. 

TA Instruments is the world leader in manufacturing industry-leading systems for thermal analysis, rheology, microcalorimetry and mechanical analysis. Their reliable technology helps scientists in top laboratories test the physical properties of their materials. TA Instruments are a staple of any polymer lab and drive innovation in material design, process optimization, and sustainability. From medical devices to recycled plastics, material analysis and development across diverse industries is made possible by TA Instruments.

“We are proud to join SPE’s esteemed list of preferred partners,” said Bharath Rajaram, Ph.D., TA’s Senior Manager of Strategic Marketing and polymer applications expert. “TA has been delivering benefits to the plastics industry for decades now. Additionally, our business closely overlaps with SPE’s community – many of our employees and customers are SPE members, our instruments are used in SPE journals, and we have exhibited, presented, and moderated sessions at ANTEC® for years. As a preferred partner, we are excited to continue helping SPE members advance their plastics analysis and innovation.”

Plastics professionals, from raw material suppliers and plastic producers to OEM manufacturers, use TA Instruments to characterize the thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of their materials. These techniques are also increasingly important for optimizing plastic recycling, including analyzing recycled feedstock variations and evaluating plastic decomposition.
