Thin to large wall Designing around TP problems is the joint responsibility of the product and mold designers. For example, one way to handle the problem of thin to large area walls is by the inclusion of long ribs into the product in the direction of plastic flow. These ribs are not a functional requirement of the product but they act as auxiliary runners attached to the product to facilitate plastic flow in difficult to fill areas. In some instances the ribs may be used as a surface decoration like a corrugation or they may be on the concealed side of the product where they are stiffeners.

Union Carbide (34) and in particular Dow adopted the continuous mass polymerization process. Credit goes to Dow (35) for improving the old BASF process in such a way that good quality impact-resistant polystyrenes became accessible. The result was that impact-resistant polystyrene outstripped unmodified crystal polystyrene. Today, some 60% of polystyrene is of the impact-resistant type. The technical improvement involved numerous details it was necessary to learn how to handle highly viscous polymer melts, how to construct reactors for optimum removal of the reaction heat, how to remove residual monomer and solvents, and how to convey and meter melts and mix them with auxiliaries (antioxidants, antistatics, mold-release agents and colorants). All this was necessary to obtain not only an efficiently operating process but also uniform quality products differentiated to meet the requirements of various fields of application. In the meantime this process has attained technical maturity over the years it has been modified a number of times (Shell in 1966 (36), BASF in 1968 (37), Granada Plastics in 1970 (38) and Monsanto in 1975 (39)) but the basic concept has been retained. 

Machine process controls coordinate individual functions of the clamp, injection unit, ejector mechanism, and mold systems and accessories such as core pulls and unscrewing dies for threaded parts. The more advanced controls employ a feedback system (closed loop) to provide much tighter control over actual parameters vs. setpoints. High-level controls are capable of communicating with auxiliary equipment such as chillers, hopper loaders, mold temperature controllers, robots, etc., and displaying all machine parameters and conditions (Chapter 3)... 

The chemical system and the final molded product requirements determine machinery requirements. Features to review in specifying equipment based on requirements to produce products includes the addition of a third and fourth component coloring paste in order to mold colored products. Many machinery suppliers offer color-dosing units in conjunction with a three or four component mixing head as auxiliary equipment. Clamps come in a variety of shapes and sizes most are custom-built. A clamp should have a smooth action through its...

Carbothermal reaction requires temperatures in excess of 2000°C. After ca. 1 to 2 h the continuously operating furnace is tapped with an auxiliary electrode. The liquid silicon (m.p. 1413°C) is collected in pans or ingot molds. If necessary, further metallurgical processes such as slag extraction or air blasting with reactive gases can be carried out to rid the silicon melt of included metallic and non-metallic impurities, before the silicon solidifies into brittle blocks.

On one hand, inhibited films employ traditional process methods and equipment used for molding film materials. On the other hand, special operations and auxiliaries are needed to modify the polymer base with Cl (Fig. 2.4). A number of methods of combining Cl with the polymer matrix are unique and patented. 

The operation of the injection and clamp units and other components of the injection molding machine (opening and closing of the mold and melting and injection of the polymer material) requires power, which is supplied by an electric motor. The orderly delivery of this power depends on auxiliary systems the hydraulic and control systems. The hydraulic system, the muscle for most maehines, transmits and controls the power from the electric motor to the various parts of the maehine. Maehine functions are regulated by a careful control of the flow, direction, and pressure of the hydraulic fluid. The elements of the hydraulic system for most injection molding machines are essentially the same fluid reservoir, pumps, valves, cylinders, hydraulic motors, and lines (Figure 11.8). 

Under transfer molding, the mold is first closed. The plastic material is then conveyed into the mold cavity under pressure from an auxiliary chamber. The molding compound is placed in the hot auxiliary chamber and subsequently forced in a plastic state through an orifice into the mold cavities by pressure. The molded part and the residue (cuU) are ejected upon opening the mold after the part has hardened. Under transfer molding, there is no flash to trim only the runner needs to be removed.
