Today, all of the leading manufacturers of injection molding machines offer such systems. For sensitive and delicate structures, the mold protection may require additional facilities. The same applies to queries, sensors and machine controllers. In the field of micro system technology, it is common to offer additional facilities and advanced machine control options. 

To prepare the standard pH buffer solutions recommended by the National Bureau of Standards (U.S.), the indicated weights of the pure materials in Table 8.15 should be dissolved in water of specific conductivity not greater than 5 micromhos. The tartrate, phthalate, and phosphates can be dried for 2 h at 100°C before use. Potassium tetroxalate and calcium hydroxide need not be dried. Fresh-looking crystals of borax should be used. Before use, excess solid potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium hydroxide must be removed. Buffer solutions pH 6 or above should be stored in plastic containers and should be protected from carbon doxide with soda-lime traps. The solutions should be replaced within 2 to 3 weeks, or sooner if formation of mold is noticed. A crystal of thymol may be added as a preservative. 

Prepared feeds are marketed in various forms from very fine particles through cmmbles, flakes, and pellets. Pelleted rations may be hard, semimoist, or moist. Hard pellets typically contain less than 10% water and can be stored under cool, dry conditions for at least 90 days without deterioration of quahty. Semimoist pellets are chemically stabilized to protect them from degradation and mold if they are properly stored, while moist pellets must be frozen if they are not used immediately after manufacture. Moist feeds are produced in machines similar to sausage grinders. 

Packaging constitutes another significant use and is often a foam-ia-place operation to protect iadustrial equipmeat such as pumps or motors. Furniture articles molded from rigid foam are used in the form of decorative drawer fronts, clock cases, and simulated wooden beams. Flotation for barge repair and sport boats as well as insulation for portable coolers are a few other uses. 

Gel coats are pigmented polyester coatings appHed to the mold surface and are an integral part of the finished laminate. Gel coats are used widely on hand lay-up and spray-up parts to enhance surface aesthetics and coloration as weU as to provide an abrasion-resistant waterproof surface that protects the underlying glass-reinforced stmcture. 

Production of decorated melamine plastic dinner plates makes use of molding and laminating techniques. The pattern is ptinted on the same type of paper used for the protective overlay of decorative lamiaates, treated with melamine resia and dried, and then cut iato disks of the appropriate size. 

To make a decorated plate, the mold is opened shortly after the main charge of molding compound has been pressed iato shape, the decorative foil is laid ia the mold on top of the partially cured plate, ptinted side down, and the mold closed again to complete the curing process. The melamiae-treated foil is thus fused to the molded plate and, as with the decorative lamiaate, the overlay becomes transparent so that the ptinted design shows through yet is protected by the film of cured resia. 

The primary appHcation for barrier polymers is food and beverage packaging. Barrier polymers protect food from environmental factors that could compromise both taste and shelf life. They also help retain desirable flavors and aroma. Barrier polymers are also used for packaging medical products, agricultural products, cosmetics, and electronic components and in moldings, pipe, and tubing. 

Nickel—beryllium casting alloys are readily air melted, in electric or induction furnaces. Melt surface protection is suppHed by a blanket of argon gas or an alumina-base slag cover. Furnace linings or cmcibles of magnesia are preferred, with zirconium siUcate or mullite also adequate. Sand, investment, ceramic, and permanent mold materials are appropriate for these alloys. Beryllium ia the composition is an effective deoxidizer and scavenger of sulfur and nitrogen. 

Ra.dia.tlon Shielding. Like lead, bismuth absorbs radiation. Therefore, bismuth ahoys are widely used in the medical industry during radiation therapy. The ahoy is molded to the shape of various organs that are to be shielded. Then the molds are placed between the radiation source and the patient to protect the patient s vital organs from radiation exposure. 

In joining reinforced thermosetting pipe it is particularly important that the pipe be cut without chipping or cracking it. It is also important to sand, file, or grind any mold-release agent from the surfaces to be cemented. Joints are built up layer by layer of adhesive-saturated reinforcement by following the manufacturer s recommended procedure. Application of adhesive to the surfaces to be joined and assembly of these surfaces shall produce a continuous bond and provide an adhesive seal to protect the reinforcement from attack by the contents of the pipe. Unfilled or unbonded areas of the joint are considered defects and must be repaired. 

Hydrocyclones are available in numerous sizes and types ranging from pencil-sized 10-mm diameters of plastic to the 1.2-m (48-in) diameter of rubber-protected mild or stainless steel. Porcelain units 25 to 100 mm (1 to 4 in) in diameter are becoming popular, and in the 150-mm (6-in) size the starch industry has standardized on special molded nylon types. Small units for fine-size separations are usually manifolded in multiple units in parallel with up to 480 ten-mm...
