Asia Pacific Business Press Inc. has published “Speciality Plastics, Foams (Urethane, Flexible, Rigid) Pet & Preform Processing Technology Handbook” in 2005. NIIR Board of Consultants & Engineers basically deals with the technology of processing plastic, through which people can show their skills and performance, in terms of both theoretically and practically.
Plastic is the man-made substance, created by Alexander Parkes in 1862 and now the industry of plastic and polymer has taken great pace. Today, plastic has gained its place in the different spheres of market and consumption is increasing at a very fast pace. In market there are various specialty plastics available, which include thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), polytetra fluoroethylene (PTFE), polyester sulphone (PES), polyarylates, polyamide imide (PAI), polysulphones (PSO) and so on. Now, people are fastly replacing the traditional material with different segments of plastic and polymers. Due to technology advancements and development the processing of plastic is convenient and making it cost effective manufacturing.
Injection moulding, compression moulding, extrusion, thermoforming (vacuum forming), blow moulding, rotational moulding, casting, calendering and bending are some of the processes through which plastic can be processed easily. The book explains the whole process of injection moulding and other processing process. Injection moulding is one of the most important industrial processes to obtain good plastic. Blow moulding is also one of the important processes to obtain plastic by installing softened thermoplastic that is forced by compressed air in order to get moulded plastic. In comparison to blow moulding, injection moulding is the better option. You will get complex shape plastic in finest finishing and good quality. In blow moulding, polyethylene (low density), polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene (high density) can be used to obtain good quality bottles, jars and roll-on containers etc. The book is very useful to all those people, who are planning to get into the business of plastic or already existing in this field.
Properties and applications of specialty plastics, formation of urethane foams, methods of foam application, properties of flexible foams, rigid foam, one stage injection stretch blow moulding, pet material and applications, pet film and sheet and other various topics are covered in this book to keep you updated about the processing technology.
The book covers all the concepts in detailed form, which includes, liquid crystal polymers, thermoplastic polyurethanes, the tin catalysts, urethane foam systems, effect on cell structure, voids and foam collapse, raw materials used in flexible foam, general methods of preparation of foam systems, one-shot foams, effect of blowing agent, solvent and chemical resistance and much more topics to clear all you doubts.
