Edge gating is the most common. It can be of the large or the restricted type. If the edge gate is spread out, it is called a fan gate. If the gate is extended for a considerable length of the piece and connected by a thin section of plastic, it is called a flash gate. In thermoplastic molding, it is sometimes necessary for the gate to impinge upon a wall. This distributes the material move evenly and improves surface conditions.

Sequential injection molding of thermoplastic polymers has gained considerable importance in recent years.... In a single mold with two or more inlets and moving parts that allow sequential entrance of melts into different sections of a main cavity, two or more types of thermoplastics are sequentially injected. The final product is a single piece made of polymers with different mechanical properties, which are permanently bonded together.

Plastomer is a recyclable elastomeric polymer made of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene diene rubber. Plastomer provides an excellent combination of mechanical, thermal and chemical properties expected of conventional thermoset rubber. With Plastomer, you can realize high productivity because you can process it as thermoplastic resins to produce your rubber products. Various processing methods including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and calendering enable you to design a wide range of products for use in many fields. You can replace many kinds of rubber and soft PVC with Plastomer.

Le moulage à la presse à froid consiste à déposer sur un moule des renforts en fibres de verre [...] et une résine thermodurcissable, polyester le plus souvent, à l'état liquide. Le moule est ensuite fermé par une faible pression, de l'ordre de 4 bars, qui permet l'imprégnation du renfort par la résine.

Polyaryl sulfone offers the unique combination of thermoplasticity and retention of structurally useful properties at 500°. This material is supplied in both pellet and powder form. Its thermoplastic nature allows it to be fabricated by injection molding or extrusion techniques on standard commercially available equipment. Polyaryl sulfone consists mainly of phenyl and biphenyl groups linked by thermally stable ether and sulfone groups. It is distinguished from polysulfone polymers by the absence of aliphatic groups, which are liable to oxidative attack. This aromatic structure gives it excellent resistance to oxidative degradation and accounts for its retention of mechanical properties at high temperatures.

CONT

Polyaryl sulfone. A strong, hard, stiff plastic which can be used from -400 to +500°F, this polymer is used mostly in aerospace applications. ... This plastic is often used to upgrade other plastic applications with respect to temperature and to replace metals and ceramics in valve bodies, hydraulic seals, and bearings.

CONT

Poly(aryl sulfone) was introduced in 1983 and is available from Amoco Performance Products under the trade names Radel A-100, A-200, and A-300. It is suitable for high technology applications, including such electrical/electronic parts as printed-circuit boards, snap-fit connectors, and lamp housings.
