Foam molding structural

There are a number of different systems and machines available for producing structural foams. The most important categories are low-pressure molding and high-pressure molding. Low-pressure molding

They range from structural foam molded products (which come from the mold as completed molded products) incorporating low density cores and high density skins of the same materials to products vacuum formed of a plastics material, the core of which becomes cellular during the heating process (Chapter 8).

In this case the designer has freedom of choice of both form and dimension as well as in the selection of the materials. Given this freedom, it would be desirable to examine several of the alternatives to see which would provide the best seating at the lowest cost. Obviously, there is no point in doing all of the possibilities so a selection should be made on the basis of anticipated use as well as style requirements. Three types will be analyzed. They are the single curve sheet cantilever mounted from the back, the molded pan supported on four legs, and the structural foam molding which is front supported.

Foams have limited use for these purposes. Rigid cellular PVC is good as a thermal barrier but not for structural parts. Doors and frames of structural molded foam, eg, foamed high impact polystyrene, can be made by injection molding, with recesses for hinges, striker plates, and miter corners. Solid polystyrene and structural foam-molded polyurethane have been molded for door frames. 

Ultem PEI resins are amber and amorphous, with heat-distortion temperatures similar to polyethersulfone resins. Ultem resins exhibit high modulus and are stiff yet ductile. Light transmission is low. In spite of the high use temperature, they are processible by injection molding, structural foam molding, or extrusion techniques at moderate pressures between 340 and 425°C. They are inherently flame retardant and generate little smoke dimensional stabilities are excellent. Large flat parts such as circuit boards or hard disks for computers can be injection-molded to maintain critical dimensions.

The problem of ozone depletion considered in the Montreal Protocol is discussed in detail. Qiapter 8 considers methods of manufacture, including molding methods, spraying, frothing, laminating, structural foam molding, syntactic foam preparations, and foam-in-place techniques. Chapter 9 on sources of information covers journals, manufacturers bulletins, technical conferences and their published proceeding, seminars and workshops, standardization activities, trade associations, consultants, and information centers, and books.

In rotational molding and casting techniques, the processor usually adds his own reinforcement. For thermoforming, glass-RTP laminates are sold commercially. Structural foam molding of glass-RTPs and reinforcing molded urethane foams appeared as later developments in the field of RTFs.
