What Is Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

  What is plastic? It is a type of material that contains an essential ingredient of an organic medium having a large amount of molecular weight. These organic mediums are either naturally occurring or synthetic in nature. Plastics are also defined as polymers that have long carbon chains. The word Polymer is derived from the two Greek words, poly that is many or abundance, and monomer that is a single unit. Plastic was discovered by the German chemist Christian Schonbein, in 1846. The word plastic is also derived from the Greek word, Plastikos which is to mould. Important properties of plastic are- Plastics are extremely strong and ductile and they are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They can be designed into the desired shapes and sizes according to the product. They have properties to withstand corrosion and are also resistant to many chemicals. They are also used in the construction sector as they have low maintenance and a high level of durability. It makes for one of...

Introduction to Compression Moulding

Moulding is the process of shaping liquid or soft raw materials by using a fixed frame called a mould or a matrix. The mould is made of a metal container where liquid, plastic, metal, ceramic, or glass is poured. The goal is to create multiple uniform copies of the product as the final product.   The liquid cools down and takes the shape of the mould or the container. The product is removed by using release agents or ejection pins. A product can be moulded in different ways. The different types of moulding methods of:   Injection Moulding Injection moulding is a manufacturing process in which molten material is injected into a mould.   A lot of materials can be used for injecting. For example, metals, glass, elastomers, confections, thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. The material is placed in a heated barrel, mixed using a helical screw, and injected into a mould cavity. This material is cooled and hardened to the shape of the cavity. Blow Moulding Stre...
