South Carolina Patent of the Month – December 2023
Shakespeare Company, material science experts, have made a name for themselves by building the solutions that some of the world’s most reliable products depend on. In a recent bid for innovation, the company has patented their clear polyamide resin formula. Commercially-available polyamide resins are rarely clear and certainly not to the degree achieved by Shakespeare Company.
The formula utilizes hexamethylenediamine (HMDA), diamines, and organic diacids to achieve a materially sound resin. This provides a never-before achieved quality for resins that can be used in a variety of products, like headphones.
Currently, Shakespear Company’s solutions are used in a range of industries including military electronics, marine electronics, polymer and filaments, and lawn and garden products. Since originally manufacturing polyamides in the 1960s, the company’s strategy evolved to develop a polymer business platform serving the needs of both internal and external polymer demands. Now, more than fifty years later, Shakespeare Company has the expertise and R&D capabilities essential to problem-solving clients’ needs across markets, manufacturing those solutions, and delivering best-in-class service.
