Can it do the job? PP has its backers.(Brief Article)
Plastics News ; A decade ago, Americans may not have imagined that injection molded car cups would supersede disposable paper for their trips home from the drive-through. Now thermoformers hope to change the market again, and their weapon to challenge injection molded polyethylene and polystyrene cups and
Dramatically new PP alloys, copolymers. (polypropylene)
Plastics Technology ; Dramatically New PP Alloys, Copolymers When Himont R&D research scientist Gordon Brewer gave a technical paper at NPE on Himont's new Hivalloy polymer grafting technology, he couldn't even use the name Hivalloy. It was one of the quieter introductions of a major new alloying technology, made
BIODEGRADABLE PARTS INSTEAD OF PP, ABS.
High Performance Plastics ; Haas GmbH, Reichenschwand, Germany, and automotive parts supplier Visteon, Dearborn, Michigan, USA, are to jointly develop automotive applications for Hass' biodegradable plastic, tradenamed Granubi. Granubi is being touted as a replacement for PP and ABS. It is stated to offer the properties of
NEW MACHINES BOOST THERMOFORMING OF PP.
Plastics News ; DUSSELDORF, GERMANY -- Thermoforming machinery suppliers are responding to the growing U.S. demand for high-volume production of polypropylene food containers by building machines featuring in-mold trimming. Falling polypropylene prices and improvements in the material's quality and clarity have
New-generation PP's excel in processing & performance. (Polypropylene)
Plastics Technology ; New-Generation PP's Excel In Processing & Performance Thermoforming and blow molding of large and small parts, extrusion coating, and thin-wall injection molding are some of the processes that will benefit from new polypropylenes that utilize new polymerization technology to produce hitherto
Effect of ultrasound on extrusion of PP/EPDM blends: structure and mechanical properties.
Polymer Engineering and Science ; INTRODUCTION Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) is used in a wide range of applications because of its attractive properties of relative high stiffness, heat distortion temperature, and its low price. However, the impact toughness of iPP is relatively low especially at subambient temperatures. The
Global PP end-markets, application trends. (Polypropylene).
Chemical Week ; PP has continued its inroads into applications where engineering and commodity plastics, and also non-plastic materials, have previously been used. Its key attributes and global availability have enabled an exceptional growth in several applications (table 1). The major global markets for PP are
PP may help keep paper from clogging up landfills.(polypropylene-infused cardboard may have uses)(Brief Article)
Plastics News ; Someday, the headliner on your car could be made from old cardboard boxes infused with a little polypropylene, then thermoformed, according to a presentation at Antec 2002 in San Francisco. More research is needed - test samples were too dry to draw well under pressure forming - but the technology
Illig feeds on hunger for PP packing.
Plastics & Rubber Asia ; Sustained consumer demand for fast-food packaging made from PP has helped Illig buck the trend of falling orders seen by many plastics machinery firms in Asia. According to Frederick Koppenhoser, the Asian Sales Manager of Germany's Illig, it has continued to deliver its thermoforming machines at
The effects of powder morphology on the processing of auxetic polypropylene (PP of negative Poisson's ratio).
Polymer Engineering and Science ; INTRODUCTION Since 1987, synthetic materials that possess a negative Poisson's ratio (v) have been fabricated. The first material to show this effect was a novel foam (1), which expanded both transversely to and along the direction of an applied load. Subsequently, the range of synthetic materials
