English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

A plastic based on amino resins.

CONT

Amino plastics(melamine and urea) are thermosetting polymers. They are produced by a polymerization method involving the controlled reaction of formaldehyde and any of various amino-containing compounds. Offered in a variety of physical forms, these resins are widely used in molding, adhesive bonding, and coating applications.

OBS

aminoplastic: term and definition standardized by ISO [International Organization for Standardization].

French

CONT

Enzyme membranes can be prepared by attaching enzymes to membrane-type carriers... or by molding into membrane form after the enzymes have been enclosed within semipermeable membranes of polymers by the entrapping method.

OBS

In order to increase the surface area of enzyme film per unit volume, various devices have been developed as practical equipment. For example, a spiral-type reactor was reported.... The spiral reactor configuration is formed by coiling alternate layers of the enzyme-membrane and a backing material around the central spacer element.

Subject field(s)

CONT

Thermoset injection molding is similar to thermoplastic injection molding except that uncured thermoset resins are mixed, injected, and held in the mold until cured.

OBS

injection molding : a method of manufacture(typically involving wood heads and face inserts) in which the material(ABS, epoxy, graphite, etc.) comprising the head is heated to a liquid state and injected under pressure into a mold.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Grâce à MPI [Moldflow Plastics Insight - logiciel de simulation de l'optimisation du procédé de moulage de Moldflow Corporation], la simulation d'autres procédés complexes de moulage des thermoplastiques est également possible : l'injection par le gaz, la co-injection, l'injection-compression, les procédés de moulage réactif dont le moulage par injection des thermodurcissables, le moulage par injection et réaction (procédé RIM) et le surmoulage des puces électroniques.

OBS

moulage par injection : moulage d'une matière par injection sous pression à partir d'un cylindre chauffé à travers une buse (canal, entrée) dans la cavité d'un moule fermé.

Preforming is a method of preparing plastics materials(usually thermosets) before molding, generally by cold pressing them into pellets or tables.

OBS

preforming: term standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Le préformage par projection directe est [...] analogue au procédé de moulage par projection simultanée de fibres et de résine. L'écran de préforme est placé sur un support.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

What makes automatic molding automatic is the mold. There are a number of requirements for automatic molding. The machine must be capable of consistent, repetitive action. The mold must clear itself automatically. This means that all the parts have to be ejected using a runnerless mold, or that the runner and the parts have to be ejected in a conventional mold. There may be some method for assisting in the removal of the pieces, usually in the form of a wiper mechanism, air blast, or robot. All machines used automatically must have a low-pressure closing system to prevent the machine from closing under full pressure if there is any obstruction between the dies. The machine shuts itself off and/or an alarm is sounded. Automatic molding does not necessarily eliminate the operator. Many times, an operator is present to pack the parts and perform secondary operations. Automatic molding gives a better quality piece and more rapid cycle. In automatic molding an experienced person usually attends several machines. Unless the powder feed and part removal are automated, this person takes care of those operations.

OBS

automatic mold: A mold for injection, compression, or transfer molding that repeatedly goes through the entire molding cycle, including ejection, without human assistance.

Other blow molding operations.... Fluorination surface treatment is a process to improve the gas barrier of polyethylene to nonpolar solvents. A barrier is created by the chemical reaction of the fluorine and the polyethylene, which form a thin(20-40 nm) fluorocarbon layer on the bottle surface. Two systems are available for creating the layer. The "in-process" system uses fluorine as a part of the parison expand gas in the blowing operation. The "post-treatment" system requires bottles to be placed in an enclosed chamber filled with fluorine gas. The method forms a barrier layer on both the inside and outside surfaces. This surface treatment allows low-cost, blow-molded polyethylene bottles to be used for paint, paint thinner, lighter fluid, polishes, cleaning solvents, cosmetics, and toiletries. The approach can replace other higher cost resins or coextrusion processes.

CONT

Intermittent extrusion is the second basic extrusion blow-molding category. In this process the parison is quickly extruded after the bottle is removed from the mold. The mold clamping mechanism does not need to transfer to a blowing station. Blow molding, cooling, and part removal all take place under the extrusion head, which also allows the clamping system to be more simple and rugged. The stop/start aspect of the extrusion method makes this process more suitable for polyolefin and other materials that are not heat-sensitive.

CONT

Extrusion discontinue. Dans ce type d'extrusion, la matière est plastifiée puis stockée soit dans un pot d'accumulation, soit dans une tête d'accumulation adaptée à cet effet.

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

Today, blow molding encompasses two fundamental process approaches based on the method used to create the preform or parison. These are injection blow molding, which uses an injection molded "test tube" shaped preform and extrusion blow molding, which uses an extruded tube parison.

CONT

The extruded parison must always hang in the air by its own strength until the mold can capture it for blow molding.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Une gaine, ou paraison de matière, est extrudée et déformée à chaud par l'insufflation d'air et plaquée sur les parois d'un moule, après blocage de ses extrémités.
