Thin wall plastics are used to hot fill (injection and blow molded bottles, thermoformed containers, etc.) without sagging during filling and maintaining mechanical properties such as impact strength and stiffness in temperatures from at least —40°F to 250°F (—40°C to 120°C). Plastic used includes special grades of PEN, PET, PP, PS, and PVC. 

Soluble core molding The soluble core technology (SCT) is called by different names such as soluble fusible metal core technology (FMCT), fusible core, lost-core, and lost-wax techniques (3). In this process, a core [usually molded of a low melting alloy (eutectic mixture) but can also use water soluble TPs, wax formulations, etc.] is inserted into a mold such as an injection molding mold. This core can be of thin wall or solid construction. 

Using the manufacture of PP battery cases as an example, the authors show how to produce thin-walled (2-5mm), foamed articles with good surface properties by means of low pressure injection moulding. Neopor 35 was used as the blowing agent. 5 refs. 

A study was made of the effect of density of injection moulded, thin-walled, integral foam products made of propylene copolymers, containing 20% PE, on their low-temperature properties. Results are discussed and evaluated. 5 refs. 

Because PTFE melts at such a high temperature and the melt is very viscous, it is difficult to work by conventional plastics techniques such as injection molding or extrusion. It is usually formed into useful shapes by sintering at about 380 °C sometimes liquid alkanes are used as a carrier, but the product then tends to be porous (this emerges as a serious problem when thin-walled objects are machined out of PTFE stock). Accordingly, several fluorocarbon thermoplastics have been developed that have lower melt viscosities, at the expense of somewhat poorer thermal and mechanical properties than PTFE. For example, the thermoplastic FEP (fluori-nated ethylene propylene), made by copolymerization of F2C=CF2 and... 

PVC has a unique ability to be compounded with a wide variety of additives, making it possible to produce materials that range from flexible elastomers to rigid compounds, that are virtually unbreakable. Compounds arc also made that have stiff melts for profile extrusion or low viscosity melts fur thin-walled injection molding. 

Numerous housings, electrical enclosures, and cabinets are injection-molded from rigid PVC. These take advantage of PVC s outstanding UL flammability ratings and easy molding into thin-walled parts. 

Perform a dimensional analysis on the thin wall injection molding scaling problem of Example 4.8 and find the dimensionless groups used in the example.

In conclusion, the pulmonary delivery of insuhn offers an efficient and convenient therapy for diabetic patients. The feasibility of inhaled insuhn is based mainly on the lungs large absorption area of alveoli and their extremely thin walls full of intercellular spaces that make them more permeable than other mucosal sites to large proteins. Generally, inhaled insuhn showed a more rapid absorption than insulin administered by SC injection [59]. One major concern for pulmonary insuhn delivery is the unknown long-term effects of inhaled insuhn within the respiratory tract. Thus, possible long-term problems should be considered when insuhn is administered in this manner [66]. 

A newer development is the manufacture of bi-axially oriented bottles, in particular for PETP. The pre-form is injection- moulded and rapidly cooled in the mould it remains amorphous (PETP crystallises very slowly) by heating above its Tg (65°) it passes into the rubbery state, and can then be blown-up and, simultaneously, longitudinally stretched. The biaxial orientation thus obtained, accelerates the crystallisation, and, at the same time, results in a very fine crystalline texture, so that a thin-walled, strong, transparent and heat-resistant bottle is obtained. 

Injection-Molded Products. Numerous housings, electrical enclosures, and cabinets are injection-molded from rigid PVC. These take advantage of PVC s outstanding UL flammability ratings and easy molding into thin-walled parts. PVC has developed melt flow capabilities to the point where it competes with essentially any other flame-retarded engineering thermoplastic and molds easier than most. 

Pipe fittings require quite high tensile and creep resistance they are thus molded from compounds that have less melt flow than for thin-walled housings. Plasticized compounds are injection-molded into a variety of parts requiring elastomeric properties.
