Powder plastic

Ceramic forming iavolves consoHdation and mol ding of ceramic powders to produce a cohesive body of the desired size and shape. Ceramic forming operations (38,40—66) are conducted with dry powders, plastic bodies, pastes, and slurries. 

This includes wire enamels on a base of polyvinyl formal, polyurethane or epoxy resins as well as moulding powder plastics on phenol-formaldehyde and similar binders, with cellulose fillers, laminated plastics on paper and cotton cloth base, triacetate cellulose films, films and fibres of polyethylene terephthalate. 

RM is a simple, basic, four-step process that uses a thin-walled mold with good heat-transfer characteristics. Its closed mold requires an entrance for insertion of plastic and, most important, the capability to be opened so that solidified products can be removed. These requirements are no problem. Liquid or dry-powder plastic equal to the weight of the final product is put into the mold cavity(s), which rotates simultaneously about two axes located perpendicular to each other (Fig. 8-68). These two rotation speeds can be varied to permit more... 

The binder should be compatible with the other ingredients of the propellant, that is, oxidizer, metal powder, plasticizer, bonding agent, stabilizer and ballistic modifier etc. 

Powdered plastic foam may also be used for this purpose. 

Common consolidation methods include variations on pressing powders, plastic forming, slip casting and tape casting. The choice of which method to use for a given application is very dependent upon the shape, size and required dimensional tolerances of the final product, available capital outlay and desired productivity. Each of these methods is examined in turn below, followed by sintering, which turns the consolidated powders into a monolithic body with mechanical integrity. 

Hollow products can be made by placing powdered plastic in a closed mold, tumbling and heating it until the plastic has coated the walls of the mold, cooling it to solidify the product, and opening the mold to remove the product. 

The equipment is simply a horizontal box with a finely-porous shelf near the bottom. Powdered plastic, ground to 20-200 xm, is poured above the shelf. Compressed air is fed in below the shelf, percolating up through the... 

Because of its high melt viscosity it has no useful melt flow index. Conventional screw plasticizing extrusion and injection molding can noy process them. The processing methods used are compression molding, ram extrusion, ram injection, and warm forming of extruded slugs from powdered plastic. In turn many components are machined from semifinished products. 

Different methods of coating are used to meet different coated product requirements (Table 10.1). The coating materials are in different forms ranging from liquids to solids. They include emulsion, latex, dispersion, lacquer, powdered plastic composition, plastisol, organosol, rubber composition, hot-melt, reacting TS compound, etc. The product could be plastic film, paper, paperboard, woven fabric, plywood, nonwoven fabric, steel sheet, aluminum foil, irregular flat or shaped products, 260... 

In fluidized bed coating, a product to be coated is heated and then immersed in a dense-phase air fluidized bed of powdered plastic the plastic adheres to the heated object and subsequent heating provides a smooth, pinhole-free coating. 

Some high-flow plastics, such as nylon, have been used in small pellet form. Ethylene vinyl acetate and PEs are also used in specialized applications as are PVC, PC, TP polyester, nylon, and PP. RM vinyl plastisols produce different products such as beach balls, floating animals, and toys as well as industrial products. The liquid or powdered plastic used in this method flows freely into comers or other deep draws upon the mold s being rotated and is then fused by heat passing through the mold s wall.

These materials are mixed with a powdered plastic to form a porous pad. Then the heat-producing reaction is started by adding water to the pad.

The pigments required for a specific color tone are intensively mixed with powdered plastic using dispersants (waxes), then dispersed in a twin-screw extruder (high energy consumption) and thereby embedded in the plastic. Laboratory mixtures and production often show different results. 

This technique, termed rotational molding (e.g. Engel Process), can be used with thermoplastic materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, polycarbonate and polyurethane. The powdered plastic is placed in a mold and heated externally in an oven chamber to about 220-400°C, whilst it is rotated around both vertical and horizontal axes. As the powder melts, it adheres to the inner mold surface, building up an even layer over the surface of the mold. The mold, whilst still rotating, is withdrawn from the heated chamber and moved into a cooling chamber and the component removed after solidification [85]. 

Powdered plastic n. A resin or plastic compound in the form of extremely fine particles, for use in fluidized-bed coating, rotational molding, and various sintering techniques. 

Sintering n. The welding together of powdered plastic particles at temperatures just below the melting or fusion range. The particles are fused together to form a relatively strong mass, but the mass as a whole does not melt and may retain some porosity. 

Powdered plastic for blending with PuO is allowed on the basis of strictly limited plutonium mass and blender volume. 

PVC properties depend on the ratio of PVC powder/plasticizer. Increasing plasticizer levels improve the flexibility at the detriment of the already weak dielectric properties. Plasticizer also reduces the flame retardancy of PVC. 

Rotational Molding. The process of rotational molding is ideal for creating hollow parts. Polyethylene is the most common polymer used in rotational molding. Powdered plastic is introduced into a clamshell mold. Color and additives, usually a micro-pulverized blend, are added and the mold is closed. The mold is then rotated. The powder is distributed to the mold s surface by the centrifugal force. The mold is heated and a melt skin forms on the mold s surface. Spinning continues as the mold is allowed to cool. The mold is then opened, the part removed, and the process starts again. 

Static electricity is produced by the build-up of electrons on weak electrical conductors or insulating materials. These materials may be gaseous, liquid or solid and may include flammable liquids, powders, plastic films and granules. The generation of static may be caused by the rapid separation of highly insulated materials by friction or by transfer from one highly charged material to another in an electric field by induction.
