Chemical Applications. The chemical processing industry uses large amounts of granular and fine powder PTFE. Soft packing appHcations are manufactured from dispersions, and hard packings are molded or machined from stocks and shapes made from granular resin. 

Polystyrene. There are two types of expandable polystyrene processes expandable polystyrene for molded articles and expandable polystyrene for loose-fill packing materials. 

Vibr toiy Consolidation. Powders are vibrated in a mold or other container in which they will be sintered, or in a metal container that will be used for extmsion or other metalworking process (31). Vibratory consoHdation produces packings of UO2 particles up to 95% of theoretical density. 

Eor fresh poultry, a potassium sorbate dip significantly reduces total viable bacteria and doubles the refrigerated shelf life of ice-packed broilers (133). In cooked, uncured, vacuum-packaged turkey and poultry stored at 4°C, 0.2—0.25 wt % potassium sorbate suppresses microbial growth for up to 10 days (134). Sorbic acid at 0.5% in a marinade mixture for chicken dmmmettes extends refrigerator shelf life (135). Country-cured hams sprayed with a 10 wt % potassium sorbate solution showed no mold growth for up to 30 days (136). A review of sorbate use in meat and fish products has been pubHshed (137). 

Tempeh. DehuUed cooked soybeans are inoculated with the mold, Thi pus oligosporus packed in perforated plastic bags, and allowed to ferment for 18 h. The mold mycelium overgrows the soybean cotyledons and forms a compact cake. When sHced and deep-fried in oil, a crisp and golden brown product is obtained. Although native to Indonesia, tempeh has become popular with vegetarians in the United States and other Western countries (93). 

Boron carbide is used in the shielding and control of nuclear reactors (qv) because of its neutron absorptivity, chemical inertness, and radiation stabihty. For this appHcation it may be molded, bonded, or the granular material may be packed by vibration. 

The soft-mud process is used to make handmade btick. Mote water is added to the clay to make a thinner paste, typicaHy about 20 to 30% by weight of water. The resulting slurry is packed into molds that have a sand or water coating on them that acts as a release agent. The wet brick shapes ate removed from the molds when they have set up enough to handle and ate then stacked for drying and burning. 

The wet pan is used for developing plasticity or molding qualities in ceramic reed materials. The abrasive and kneading actions of the mullers blend finer particles with the coarser particles as they are crushed (Greaves-Walker, Am. Refract. Jnst. Tech. Bull. 64, 1937), and this is necessary so that a high packing density can be achieved to result in strength.

Thermosetting resins are available as powders and liquids. The powders can be molded in a similar manner to thermoplastics and are used in process plants where large numbers of small items are required (for example, packing rings). 

Nitrile rubbers, including fiber-reinforced varieties, are used both as radial shaft-seal materials and as molded packing for reciprocating shafts. They have excellent resistance to a considerable range of chemicals, with the exception of strong acids and alkalis, and are at the same time compatible with petroleum-based lubricants. Their working temperature range is from —1°C to 107°C (30°F to 225°F) continuously and up to 150°C (302°F) intermittently. When used on hard shafts with a surface finish of, at most, 0.00038 mm root mean square (RMS), they have an excellent resistance to abrasion. 

In order to judge performance capabilities that exist within the controlled variabilities, there must be a reference to measure performance against. As an example, the injection mold cavity pressure profile is a parameter that is easily influenced by variations in the materials. Related to this parameter are four groups of variables that when put together influences the profile (1) melt viscosity and fill rate, (2) boost time, (3) pack and hold pressures, and (4) recovery of plastica-tor. TTius material variations may be directly related to the cavity pressure variation. Details on EQUIPMENT/PROCESSING VARIABLE are in Chapter 8.
