THERMOPLASTIC EXTRUSION AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Image
THERMOPLASTIC EXTRUSION AND ITS APPLICATIONS EXTRUSION plays a prominent part in the plastics industry. Whether it's one hundred yards of pipe-tubing or a thousand Crazy Straws, plastic extrusion is in frequent use in today's plastics industry. During extrusion, plastics transform from solid to liquid and back again without sacrificing their distinctive properties. Plastic Extrusion Applications: AUTOMOTIVE: The use of thermoplastics in automotive manufacturing is not a new concept. It has been used for non-load bearing parts and interiors such as battery frames and bumpers in mass-produced cars, and for more complex applications such as the monocoque for high-end sports cars. CONVEYORS: The conveyor belts are used in all types of industry and have rightfully become the most important part in the belt conveyor market. Companies that rely on conveyor systems know that the key to success is keeping those systems working quickly, efficiently and smoothly. ...

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Manufacturer

What is UHMW-PE? UHMW-PE stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. It is the highest quality polyethylene (PE) available, designed for heavy duty work and a wide range of applications. It brings savings in a series of heavy applications. The ultra-high molecular weight is the secret of the unique properties of this polymer. Its high-density polyethylene resin has a molecular weight range of 3 to 6 million, compared to 300,000 to 500,000 for high molecular weight (HMW) resins. That difference is what ensures that this material is strong enough to withstand abrasion and impact better than lower level poly products. The high molecular weight of UHMW-PE means that it will not melt or flow as molten liquid. The processing methods are derived from those metal powder technologies. UHMW-PE cannot be processed and shaped by conventional plastic processing techniques (injection molding, blow molding or thermoforming). Compression molding is the most common conversion process used...
