Color plays a significant role in the compounding of plastic materials, as it enhances the visual appeal and functionality of plastic products. This white paper aims to explore the concept of color, its importance in compounding plastic, and the benefits of compounding in color compared to coloring at the press. Furthermore, it will discuss the color matching process and differentiate between critical and non-critical color applications.  What is Color and Why is it Important in Compounding Plastic?  Color is not ...

The world of polymer resins is a vast and sometimes confusing subject. But it's our world, and today, we'll do our best to explain and convey a basic understanding of what polymer resins are and how we use them ...

UL 94 Listings UL 94 is the flammability standard which determines a material’s likelihood to either spread or put out a flame once the material has been lit on fire. The UL 94 testing can present a variety of determinations including hourly fire resistance ratings, surface burning characteristics, roof covering flammability ratings and flammability of contents within a structure. The testing is done on a small scale to evaluate the flammability of the plastic used in various parts under controlled ...

For products which require a softer inner core and a hard outer surface, Structural foam molding guarantees tough and reliable wall sections. This type of molding process is generally used for medium to high volume production and produced on injection molding machines where a foaming agent is used to produce thick internal wall sections. Depending on the processing method and the application, there are wide varieties of Polycarbonate plastic available in the market. There are different blends of Polycarbonate PC ...

High quality products manufactured with great accuracy, quickly and in large numbers – Thermoplastic injection molding is definitely one of the most popular manufacturing methods. The use of thermoplastic materials has seen an upsurge due to the growing demands of manufacturing quality plastic products for diverse industries. Thermoplastic, made from polymer resins becomes a homogenized liquid when heated and gets hardened when cooled. The materials used for Injection molding process brings in its own unique features while guaranteeing best performance ...
