Record 1 2014-12-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
DEF

The property of a material by which a negligible portion of the transmitted light undergoes scattering, thereby enabling objects to be distinguished clearly through the material.

CONT

The advantage of the [stretch blow molding] process is an improvement in resin performance, such as bottle impact strength, cold strength, transparency, surface gloss, stiffness, and gas barrier, which permit lighter weight, lower cost bottles, use of lower cost resins with less impact modifiers, or products packaged that normally would not be suitable.

OBS

transparency: term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
DEF

Propriété d'un matériau de ne diffuser qu'une partie négligeable de la lumière transmise, permettant ainsi de distinguer clairement des objets à travers son épaisseur.

CONT

La transparence est essentiellement liée à la morphologie. L'existence d'une morphologie entraîne l'existence de domaines ayant des indices de réfraction différents, donc réfractant et diffusant la lumière. Le trajet optique des rayons lumineux est donc augmenté, et l'intensité des rayons émergents diminuée. Le matériau est donc translucide à opaque. Un polymère amorphe est transparent.

OBS

transparence : terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Materiales plásticos
DEF

Propiedad de un material por la cual una parte insignificante de la luz transmitida se difunde, permitiendo distinguir los objetos claramente a través del material.

Record 7 1997-11-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

Unplasticized PVC presents some processing difficulties due to its high melt viscosity; in addition, the finished product is too brittle for some applications. To overcome these problems and to produce toughening, certain polymeric additives are usually added to the PVC. These materials, known as impact modifiers, are generally semicompatible and often somewhat rubbery in nature. Among the most important impact modifiers in use today are butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers (nitrile rubber), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) graft terpolymers, methacrylate-butadiene-styrene (MBS) terpolymers, chlorinated polyethylene, and some polyacrylates.

CONT

The advantage of the [stretch blow molding] process is an improvement in resin performance, such as bottle impact strength, cold strength, transparency, surface gloss, stiffness, and gas barrier, which permit lighter weight, lower cost bottles, use of lower cost resins with less impact modifiers, or products packaged that normally would not be suitable.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Plasturgie
CONT

Les antichocs sont des polymères (PE chloré) et surtout copolymères du type ABS ou MBS (méthacrylate-butadiène, styrène) qui forment des systèmes multiphases avec le polymère à renforcer et améliorent de ce fait sa résistance au choc. On les utilise en concentration de quelques pour cents, en particulier dans le PVC.
