The stretch films of Ranflax are applicable for packaging of food which again helps in extending shelf life of food like meat, vegetables, poultry, and fruit. It keeps the product fresh for longer duration of time. It is a stretchable plastic[…]
Matsui’s Mold Temperature Controller is used for maintaining stable temperature. It is for regulating high accuracy molding and secure for usage. The internal parts are built using a stainless steel and even have heaters which are for reforming the performance and reducing the consumption of energy. It is an[…]
Plastic is a well-established material that needs no introduction. It is a substance which is melted, then sequentially moulded into a new form to create a perfect and practical object that can help around the house or in the workplace. Yet, the way plastic is being manufactured is changing. Now,[…]
It is well known that static mixers – so called mixing nozzles help to avoid color streaks in injection molding. Less known is the fact that mixing nozzles can be used to solve many other quality problems, improve the process stability and reduce production costs. This article provides an overview[…]
Leave the superior qualities lightweight and easy-to-use for plastic as its birth is unimaginable without those, but whom to blame on when this swiftly-shape-changing marathon participant plastic is reinforcing the global total wastage with around 10% of its contribution, turning the Pacific Ocean as a home for the plastic debris, accounting for[…]
The University of Liverpool has developed a plastic that is sponge-like. This material soaks up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and will also make it easy to arrive at better energy sources from the continuous use of pollutants like fossil fuels. The sponge-like material is designed so that it can[…]
In the ‘smart age’ of the smart phones and smart watches and smart what not, the industry too, needs to pull its socks up. If you had been waiting for the same, you might just as well be glad to know of shape memory polymers which are “smart” plastic materials[…]
Throughout the latter half of the 20th century and much continuing in the new century, aeronautical engineering has evolved in leaps and bounds, with plastics assuming a real part in both practical upgrades and striking advances. Plastics components have been the smooth and significant development contributors in the world of[…]
In a world fighting with years’ old infrastructural foundation and more successive critical climate changes while additionally looking for more sustainable and energy efficient building results — polymer-based materials are taking up a greater amount of the load. From bridges and streets to material and structures, inventive structures are utilizing[…]
New innovation is continually energizing yet not generally reasonable. How frequently has an apparently as good as ever contraption hit the market that your wallet basically hasn’t had the capacity to stomach? Since the early improvement of SKETCHPAD in 1963, an ancestor of CAD and CAM programming, the issue has[…]
The National Safety Council (NSC) sways Americans every June to take an interest in National Safety Month, which is committed to lessening preventable wounds. Past the evident agony and enduring brought on by preventable damages and passings, numerous individuals don’t join these particular mishaps with the monstrous trouble on societal,[…]
“Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mould. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials, including metals, glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced[…]
Though often criticized, MFR is a very good gauge of the relative average molecular weight of the polymer. Since molecular weight (MW) is the driving force behind performance in polymers, it turns out to be a very useful number. Melt indexers, or extrusion plastometers, are common lab tools used to[…]
Technology changes every day. Even in the world of plastics there is continual research and development to arrive at newer and fresher alternatives. In the light of the same, microcellular foam is a breakthrough technology in the plastics industry. The concept or the technology of microcellular thermoplastic foam appears to[…]
Though not a recent phenomenon, wood-plastic composites is posing to be a much sought after and compelling realm within the plastics industry. Also, there is a continually maturing interest in the new design potentialities that this amalgamation of components used, has to offer. It is, at its heart, a composite[…]
Today, public concern regarding the setting, climate amendment and restricted fossil fuel resources are necessary drivers for governments, firms and scientists to seek out alternatives to crude oil. Bio-based plastics might provide necessary contributions by reducing the dependence on fossil fuels and also the connected environmental impacts. Within the past[…]
Injection molding is unanimously the core process in plastic equipment manufacturing industry. As in any industry sector, the present techniques and technologies used in manufacturing process deserve promotion in terms of every aspect including energy efficiency, output quality, processing time, reliability of usage and ease of operation. Being the core[…]
Over 2.5 million water bottles are thrown away every HOUR in United States alone and this statistics doesn’t include thousands of other plastic products that are manufactured, used and discarded at the same time. If these calculation results are consolidated, the plastic waste would be beyond 60 billion tons every[…]
Great destructions took place from fire and to create material resistance towards fire scientists worked on creating retardants in several ways. During Roman times itself chemical flame retardants were used to prevent siege towers from catching fire. While, British Patent 551 was taken by Obadiah Wilde in the year 1735[…]
Polycarbonate is a versatile tough plastic that is used for a variety of applications ranging from bulletproof windows to compact disks. It is known for its unbeatable strength at light weight and the unbreakable quality made industries use it in wide purposes. Polycarbonate is just one-third the weight of acrylic[…]
