Applications of Thermoplastic Granules Thermoplastic granules, also known as thermoplastic pellets or beads, are versatile materials used in various industries for manufacturing a wide range of products. These granules are made from thermoplastic polymers, which can be melted and molded repeatedly without undergoing chemical change. From consumer goods to industrial components, thermoplastic granules find numerous applications due to their durability, flexibility, and recyclability. https://lnkd.in/gYDsJCk2 #Thermoplastics #Manufacturing #IndustrialApplications #MaterialScience #ProductDevelopment #Engineering

There are many articles and posts which proved that #engineering #plastics can be a great metal #replacement, but if we look wider we can find out that there are other areas where plastic can be a great substitution for different materials, and also bring an added value. One example can be a rubber replacement by TPEs, like #Arnitel - a product of Envalior available in #distribution at TER Plastics POLYMER GROUP. But what is the advantage of using TPE in place of rubber? - Shorter #production cycle; in place of compounding, pressing off the product, vulcanization and removing all material residues, the production process can be handled on a standard #injection #molding, or #extrusion machines, without any requirement of finishing. - Cost effectiveness; less complexed manufacturing requires less energy and reduce labor costs - Reduction of waste; TPE can be #recycled and #reused in next production cycles   If you would like to know more about possibilities of using #TPE, do not hesitate to contact your Account Manager at TER Plastics POLYMER GROUP, or leave us a message via LinkedIn.

What's new in adhesives❓ Approximately one-fourth of today’s plastics applications involve polypropylene (PP), a popular choice because of its strength, durability, moisture resistance, and relatively low cost. But with such advantages comes a challenge: PP has low surface energy (LSE), making it difficult to use adhesives for bonding. That means engineers often opt for more costly joining methods, such as welding or mechanical fastening. Now, however, advances in adhesive chemistry have spawned a new generation of adhesives designed specifically for bonding LSE materials like PP, giving engineers new options for adding value to their product designs and making life easier for assemblers across many industries.

Thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics are the two primary types of plastics, each with distinct properties and applications. Thermoplastics can be repeatedly heated and cooled, allowing them to be reshaped. Examples are:Polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, nylon, and acrylic. Applications: Packaging, toys, automotive parts, and electronic components. Thermosetting plastics cannot be remelted or reshaped and they have a high heat resistance. Examples: Epoxy, phenolic, and polyurethane. Applications: Electrical components, adhesives, and coatings. Understanding the differences between these two types of plastics is crucial for selecting the right material for a specific application. By considering factors like heat resistance, strength, and recyclability, you can make informed decisions.   #plastics #polymer #materialscience #chemistry #engineering #manufacturing

🔥 New blog post online: Selecting Thermoplastics: A Practical 5 Step Guide 📌 Selecting the optimal thermoplastic material can be challenging and my aim with this post is to provide you with a practical guide which leads you fast through the selection journey. For a more detailed approach, I created the Polymer Selection Funnel methodology which you can check out here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dx2YSky 📌Improper selection of plastics for the application is the leading cause for plastic part failure and since most parts fail along weld lines or knit lines, optimal mould design including filling and processing of the part are crucial too. 📌The fact that there are almost 100 generic “families” of plastics and additionally with blending, alloying, and modifying with additives results in 1,000 sub-generic plastic types leads to the following crucial question: How should you choose the optimal polymeric material for your part? 📌 Also, selecting the wrong polymer for your product may result in additional financial resources, since the selection process needs to be repeated (including making new tools) or even worse, product failure leads to claims and recalls. 📖 The guide below will help you to prevent the major mistakes. 👉 Check out the full post on the topic too (incl.. download) 👉https://lnkd.in/dSPKHEUd Thanks for reading and #findoutaboutplastics #Polymermaterialselection #polymerengineering #plasticpartdesign #findoutaboutplasticsblog

These elastomers are synthesized through the reaction of polyols and isocyanates, resulting in a polymer structure that combines the resilience of rubber with the toughness of plastic. Their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, high impact, and intense mechanical stresses makes them popular in sectors such as automotive, mining, oil and gas, and construction. In automotive applications, for example, polyurethane elastomers are used in bushings, seals, and gaskets, where their impact resistance and flexibility contribute to enhanced vehicle performance and longevity. Their durability under extreme temperature variations and resistance to oil, chemicals, and UV radiation add to their appeal in heavy-duty industrial settings.
