PLASTIC FORMING TECHNIQUES

MOULDING

Compression moulding

Injection moulding

Blow moulding

VACUUM FORMING

The sheet is cooled and removed from the mould

The air under the sheet is sucked out to create a vacuum.

The sheet of plastic is heated until it becomes soft

A sheet of thermoplastic material is placed over a mould.

CALENDARING

In the calendering process, thermoplastic material is passed betwween rollers to make thin sheets.

EXTRUSION

When the plastic leaves the machine, it is hardened in a bath of cool water

Inside the cylinder, there is a screw that turns and pushes and pushes the plastic out through a die.

Thermoplastic material, usually in the form of pallets, is added to an extursion machine

Various techniques can be used to form plastic products, but the most important ones are extrusion, calendaring, vacuum forming and moulding

Plastics products are typically made from powder, pallets, or resins.

THE TRANSFORMATION OF PLASTICS

Chemical additives can aslso be used, such as plasticizers which increase the flexibility and the resistance of the final product.

During the manufacturing process, fillers may be added to reduce the cost of production and enhance certain properties of the raw materials

THE ORIGIN OF PLASTICS

SYNTHETIC PLASTICS

NATURAL PLASTICS

Consists of long chains of molecules, mostly made of the element carbon
