How to find the materials you need with speed and precision

Описание: Learn how to quickly find the right material using SpecialChem’s Master Catalogs, the advanced material selection platform for engineers, formulators, and R&D professionals. In this step-by-step tutorial, Catherine Bouhier demonstrates how to use powerful filters and search tools to identify the best materials with speed and precision.

Using the plastics and elastomers Master Catalog as an example, this video shows how to navigate the “Find a Product” section and refine your search with key filters such as product type, product family (e.g., polypropylene/PP), market, conversion process, sustainability criteria, supplier, and trade name.

Discover how to leverage property-based filtering (e.g., flexural modulus, deflection temperature) to narrow down thousands of materials to a highly relevant shortlist. Learn how to use the graphical search (2D material comparison tool) to visualize performance criteria, optimize your selection, and compare up to five products side by side.

This tutorial is ideal for professionals working with plastics, coatings, adhesives, polymer additives, and cosmetic ingredients, looking to accelerate material selection, improve accuracy, and make data-driven decisions.
