Plastic thermosetting

The thermosetting plastics-phenolics, polyesters and epoxies—are used at higher temperatures (about 150°C) and pressures than thermoplastics. They are finding ever increasing applications for process plant equipment. [Pg.118]

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). [Pg.118]

Liquid resins are usually reinforced with fibers (glass, asbestos), because of their brittleness. They are almost always used for process plant construction. As liquid resins they can be catalyzed to cure at room temperature and low pressures. Relatively cheap wooden molds are required to build quite large items such as tanks and ducting on a one-off basis. The principal materials in this group of plastics are described below. [Pg.118]

These materials are shaped by reaction processing, such as screw transfer injection or compression moulding, although glass reinforced polymers (GRP) are frequently moulded using hand lay-up or spray techniques. The injection techniques and compression moulding of cross-linking plastics do not have [Pg.35]

In the sheet-forming process, stainless steel, bronze, nickel-base alloys, or titanium powders are mixed with a thermosetting plastic and presintered to polymerize the plastic. Sintering takes place in wide, shallow trays. The specified porosity is achieved by selecting the proper particle size of the powder. Sheet is available in a variety of thicknesses between 16 x 30 mm and as much as 60 x 150 cm. A sheet can be sheared, roUed, and welded into different configurations. [Pg.189]

To obtain a strong busbar mounting system, suitable to withstand the electrodynamic forces arising out of a system fault, modern practice is to make use of thermosetting plastics, such as DMC (Dough Moulding Compounds)... [Pg.368]

In Ancient Egypt mummies were wrapped in cloth dipped in a solution of bitumen in oil of lavender which was known variously as Syrian Asphalt or Bitumen of Judea. On exposure to light the product hardened and became insoluble. It would appear that this process involved the action of chemical cross-linking, which in modem times became of great importance in the vulcanisation of rubber and the production of thermosetting plastics. It was also the study of this process that led Niepce to produce the first permanent photograph and to the development of lithography (see Chapter 14). [Pg.2]

Whilst the term thermosetting plastics arose out of the fact that early products of this type were cross-linked by subjecting the intermediate-stage materials to elevated temperature, the term is also widely used where cross-linking takes place at normal ambient temperatures. [Pg.24]

The first five of these techniques involve deformation and this has to be followed by some setting operation which stabilises the new shape. In the case of polymer melt deformation this can be affected by cooling of thermoplastics and cross-linking of thermosetting plastics and similtir comments can apply to deformation in the rubbery state. Solution-cast film and fibre requires solvent evaporation (with also perhaps some chemical coagulation process). Latex suspensions can simply be dried as with emulsion paints or subjected to some... [Pg.158]

The polysulphones tend to be used in applications when requirements cannot quite be met by the much cheaper polycarbonates and possibly aromatic polyethers. In many of the fields of use they have replaced or are replacing ceramics, metals and thermosetting plastics rather than other thermoplastics. [Pg.601]

Such reactions allow chain extension and/or cross-linking to occur without the elimination of small molecules such as water, i.e. they react by a rearrangement polymerisation type of reaction. In consequence these materials exhibit a lower curing shrinkage than many other types of thermosetting plastics. [Pg.744]

Where plastics are to be used for electrical applications, then electrical properties as well as mechanical and other properties need to be considered. Whilst properties such as resistivity, power factor and dielectric constant are important, they may not be all-important. For example, although polyamides and many thermosetting plastics may show only moderate values for the above properties, they have frequently been used successfully in low-frequency applications. Perhaps more important for many purposes are the tracking and arcing resistance, which are frequently poor with aromatic polymers. [Pg.897]
