Escalating the future of the London Underground
Ellie McDaniel • August 22, 2016
In one of our most exciting projects to date, we have been working with Transport for London to improve the durability of their escalators.
In the past
the escalator combs have been made of aluminium, but in partnership with TFL we
have been developing a suitable durable plastic alternative. The result has
been particularly successful and trails have been done on escalators throughout
the capital. TFL are currently in the process of refurbishing 425 escalators
across London’s Underground Stations.

Plastics are an essential material for manufacturing millions of parts, components and products. Sometimes the properties and behaviours need to be formulated in order to serve the right purpose.This is made possible by additives, which enhance certain properties and help to deliver the desired outcomes to the plastics with which they’re combined. Here are three popular additives which serve different purposes in plastic production.
