The CAD CAM revolution in the Plastics industry
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[…]
Plastics and its New Sustainability facets
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 Moulding: How Companies can ‘Mould’ Their Own Production
“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[…]
Melt-Flow Rate Testing
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[…]
Microcellular Foam – The Next Step From Cellular
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[…]
Wood-Plastic Composite
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[…]
Bio-Degradable Plastics
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 Moulding Climbs the Ladder
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[…]
Revolution on Plastics Outgassing
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[…]
Fighting Fire: Fire-Proof Plastics
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[…]
