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[…]
Medical Plastic system is regarded as international or universal performing development partner and injection decay for Medical Plastic systems. The Medical Plastic systems is executing and functioning all various kinds of services which include such as product designing and development, engineering, form shaping or structuring, automation engineering, large and small[…]
Plastics extrusion is a high volume manufacturing process that melts and forms raw plastic material into a continuous profile. Plastic extrusion is a process that creates two-dimensional shapes on length providing the third dimension tubing, edging, moldings fence, deck railing, window frames, weather stripping, adhesive tape and wire insulation and[…]
Plastics processing machinery includes a variety of equipment. As per a Global Industry Analysts report, Global Plastics Processing Machinery Market is expected to exceed US$13 Billion by 2015. During the period between 2008 and 2009, global plastics processing machinery market witnessed a sharp decline. The emerging markets of Brazil, China,[…]
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.[…]
Right from NASA to the streets, everywhere we see Photovoltaics for different purposes and noticeably for electrical power generation for converting solar radiation into direct electricity using semiconductors. So, photovoltaic power generation equips solar panels made of solar cells containing a photovoltaic material. These materials presently used for photovoltaics includes[…]
Flame retardants are a class of chemicals designed to provide passive fire protection to polymers under specific fire risk scenarios. The fire protection provided by the flame retardant can vary from ignition resistance to slowing of flame spread/heat release growth to smoke and toxic gas reduction. Flame retardants can be[…]
