In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics. A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.

This method has mating plastic threads formed during assembly. Solvent Solvents soften surfaces of plastic (plastic must be soluble)—best for amorphous or low crystalline plastics, such as ABS, acrylic, cellulosic, PC, PS, PPO, and vinyls. EJECTION A method of ejection is needed for all plastic parts, this is due to the shrinkage seen in plastic parts.

(API) of Gainesville, Texas, a manufacturer of plastic pipe components, saw an opportunity to design a flapper valve that could improve upon traditional brass valves and enable non-corrosive, all-plastic piping systems. Don Houston of API said, “In addition to all these drawbacks, brass valves have to be joined to plastic piping with steel fittings. We wanted to make it easier for our customers to create durable piping systems by developing a plastic flapper valve that could be easily fused onto polyethylene (PE) pipe.

Sustainability Spotlight Hydrocerol™ Chemical Foaming Agents Reflection electron microscopy (REM) view of foamed plastic Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are supplied as concentrates CHEMICAL FOAMING AGENTS (CFAs) are chemical substances that react under the influence of heat to release gas into the plastic matrix during the manufacturing process of plastic parts. The gases form a cellular foam structure in the plastic that reduces the amount of material needed and hence the part’s weight. The portfolio includes non-hazardous endothermic substances that require minimum cooling of the plastic parts after manufacturing.
