The Department of Science and Technology Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST ITDI) has recently concluded their Innovation Convention (iCON) where they presented the various services they offer to the public. This includes packaging for food, advanced materials testing among others. #NewsMediaNest #dost #dostph #itdi #icon #sti #science #technology #initiatives (at Acacia Hotel Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clpe_gCvk8O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Department of Science and Technology Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST ITDI) has formalized the inauguration and the public opening of the Simulation Packaging Testing Laboratory and the Green Packaging Laboratory which provides industries with the tools needed to develop effective and environment friendly packaging solutions such as boxes and containers. The facility has equipment to stress test packaging materials on low atmospheric pressure and determine the limits of containers and boxes before they break. You can now design the best packaging material for your goods through the help of this facility. This will truly be of great help to the private manufacturing sector once it is fully realized. #NewsMediaNest #dost #itdi #dostph #sptl #gpl #science #technology #packaging #boxes #carton #box #container #design (at Department of Science and Technology (Dost)) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfBwddSPFeM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ITDI's biodiesel antifreeze to boost foreign sales With the DOE 2017-2040 Philippine Energy Plan targeting to maintain a B2 biodiesel blending, as shown in its long term (2020-2040) Biofuels Roadmap, local processors are having difficulty finding an antifreeze that would ensure their biodiesel gets a slice of the foreign market. Cleotilde A. Bulan, head of the Industrial Chemicals Section at the Industrial Technology Development Institute (DOST-ITDI), stressed the need for local processors for a locally-produced antifreeze agent that would complement the Philippine biodiesel from coconut. The biodiesel industry sector needs "this" to ensure that the coconut methyl ester (CME) or coco biodiesel can compete in the world market. GlobeNewsWire has reported that the global biodiesel market is currently standing at the size of USD23,290 million and is expected to reach USD25,880 million by the end of 2026 (CAGR of 1.5% during 2021-2026). Bulan explains further what antifreeze does. Also known as a coolant, it lowers a liquid's freezing point, which is why it is added to vehicles' radiators. In foreign localities, antifreeze allows cars to operate in a variety of temperatures, from frigidly cold to scorchingly hot. By adding a mixture of chemicals and water, antifreeze helps ensure that the liquid in radiators does not freeze over during winter or boil up during summer, thus overheating the engine. But, how does an antifreeze exactly work? How does it protect engines? Bulan said that the key lies in coolants' boiling and freezing points. Pure water has a boiling point of 212°F (100°C) and a freezing point of 32°F (0°C). However, by using a 50/50 mixture of water and ethylene glycol, the M boiling point rises to 223°F (106°C), and the freezing point lowers to -35°F (-37°C). By taking it a step further, using a 30/70 mixture of water and ethylene glycol, the boiling point rises to 235°F (113°C), and the freezing point lowers to -67°F (-55°C). #NewsMediaNest #itdi #science #technology #dost #dostph #biodiesel #fuel #cleanfuel #antifreeze #itdiph #green https://www.instagram.com/p/CckYmbprG6y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Unboxing the Simulation Packaging Testing Laboratory and Green Packaging Laboratory” A Prelude to the Inauguration and Full Operation One of the important DOST Projects under its Big 21 in 2021 is the establishment of the Simulation Packagingq Testing Laboratory (SPTL) and Green Packaging Laboratory (GPL). This project was funded through the DOST-GIA and implemented by the ITDI-Packaging Technology Division (PTD). The ‘Unboxing Event’ for these two laboratories will be held on December 21, 2021 at 9:00 am at the SPTL/GPL site inside the DOST Compound, Bicutan, Taguig. This event will be led by DOST Secretary Fortunato De La Peña and with Dr. William Dar, Secretary of the Department of Agriculture as the Keynote Speaker. SPTL/GPL The SPTL was designed based on international standards in developing packaging design, performance evaluation and in developing testing protocols for distribution packaging. With SPTL, the current capability of PTD in developing packaging design and performance testing of transport packaging will be significantly expanded. On the other hand, the green packaging lab or GPL is being established to provide alternative packaging or packaging options to the consumers, and not in any way to discriminate any type of packaging materials. Green packaging could not be directly equated to biodegradable packaging. GPL envisions to do research on the following areas: Processes that will reduce energy consumption and solid/liquid waste Materials reduction without compromising product quality and consumer safety Use of indigenous and renewable materials Circular/Recycling technologies Waste utilization Waste disposal #NewsMediaNest #laboratory #testing #itdi #science #technology #simulation #green #packaging #dost #dostph #sptl #gpl https://www.instagram.com/newsmedianest/p/CXsTdqsLXbj/?utm_medium=tumblr
