What is Silicone Silicone is a specialty, high-performance polymer material produced by reacting silicon with methyl chloride. This reaction, after removing chlorine atoms, produces polymers that are resistant to temperature gradients, moisture, UV rays, chemicals, and others. They also can be made into solids and liquids, making available a wide[…]
Thermoplastics are polymers that become mouldable upon application of heat and solidify upon cooling, without undergoing any disintegration of molecular structure or mechanical properties. Acrylic, ABS, nylon, PLA, polyether sulphone, polyether ether ketone, polyetherimide, polyethylene, polyphenylene oxide, polyphenylene sulphide, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and Teflon are some of the most[…]
Plastic Injection Molding is a manufacturing process which produces plastic parts by injecting materials into the mold. It is a fast process for producing plastic items in huge numbers. Like all, the injection molding process also has few merits. These merits can even be used as a tip on why[…]
Modernization of Equipment- Are you looking at your thermoforming equipment, wondering if there could be a better way to get more out of them? Are you noticing subtle reductions to your output? How long have you owned your machines? Although the process of thermoforming has been around for a long[…]
Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics or long fiber thermoplastics (LFT) are bulk molding materials that can feature continuous fiber filaments running the full length of the pellet allowing materials to exhibit simultaneous improvements in stiffness, strength, and impact resistance over different temperatures. The industry uses long fiber thermoplastics for varied reasons.[…]
