This document discusses different types of plastics used in manufacturing. It describes thermoplastics, which can be reshaped when heated, and thermosets, which cannot be reshaped once formed. Common thermoplastics used in injection molding include ABS and PETE. Injection molding involves injecting molten plastic into a mold cavity to form solid parts. Important considerations for plastic component design include adding ribs for stiffness and strength, designing bosses for mounting, and creating holes using core pins. Maintaining a uniform wall thickness can help avoid defects during the molding process. The document also outlines the SPI plastic identification coding system.
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is added to rubber compounds to activate sulfur vulcanization and thereby reduce the vulcanization time. ... The release of zinc into the environment from rubber occurs during the production, disposal, and recycling of rubber products (e.g., through leaching in landfill sites).
Its most common application is as a vulcanization activator in conjunction with stearic acid. Its addition is recommended at the beginning of the mixture, after the addition of stearic acid - its addition before stearic acid causes difficulty in incorporation and problems with dispersion.

Everything You Need to Know About TPE Compounds, Chemistry, and CapabilitiesTeknor Apex Company
TPE Alphabet Soup: TPO, TPV, SBC, TPU, COPE, COPA:
Perhaps you know TPEs. But did you know that there are actually six distinct TPE chemical families? The right chemistry depends on the application, and the design goals.
What’s more, with the right knowledge, teams can design to the advantages of a Styrenic Block Copolymer Compound (SBC or TPE-S) or a Polyolefinic Rubber Blend (TPO or TPE-O) or a Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV or TPV-V).
Some families are highly elastic. Some take color extremely well. Some are better suited for outdoor applications. Some retain their properties at extreme temperatures. Each project is unique, and there are key performance requirements that define what TPE family is ideal for the application.
Then within each TPE family, there are almost limitless possibilities – for hardness, temperature tolerances, surface haptics, chemical resistance and other attributes.
Ultimately, there may be several suitable TPE grades for any one application. Design engineers and compounders work together to evaluate or test subtle trade-offs, and select the optimal material.

Rubbers and plastics have various applications in chemical industries due to their corrosion resistance properties. Natural rubbers are derived from rubber trees while synthetic rubbers like neoprene were developed as substitutes. Rubbers can be hardened through vulcanization to increase their temperature resistance and hardness. Plastics exist as thermoplastics and thermosetters and include materials like polyethylene, PVC, epoxies, and ceramics which offer resistance to chemicals and heat. Carbon and graphite materials also demonstrate corrosion resistance and stability at high temperatures.
1. Lubricants are used to reduce friction between moving surfaces and prevent wear. Originally vegetable and animal oils were used, but now petroleum-based oils from oil refineries are most common.
2. There are two main methods of lubrication - hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication. Hydrodynamic occurs when surfaces are separated by a fluid film while boundary occurs through chemical bonding at the surfaces.
3. Lubricants are made of base oils and additives, which provide functions like reducing wear, improving high/low temperature performance, and inhibiting corrosion and oxidation. Proper lubricant selection depends on factors like viscosity, temperature range, and equipment used.

DEGRADABLE POLYMERS AND METALS FOR REFRACTURINGref-iqhub
C. Andrew Rosenholm presented on degradable polymers and metals for refracturing uses. Some key uses of degradable polymers and metals include as temporary diverting agents, to temporarily block existing perforations, as frac plugs when perforating new zones, and as drop balls used with plugs and pre-existing seats. While low-cost mill-out services and composite frac plugs have reduced the market for degradables, opportunities remain for their use in long laterals where milling out is difficult and in lower-cost degradable plugs. Degradable polymers offer advantages over metals including lower cost, easier processing, and the ability to degrade without acids or chlorides.

Common types of lubricants include liquids, solids, and semi-solids. The document also discusses properties of lubricants like viscosity, viscosity index, pour point, and flash point. It provides examples of typical lubricant applications and components like base oils and additives.
Plastic and their joining processes for different industrial usesPraveen Kumar
There are two major classifications of polymers: thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastics can be remelted and reshaped upon heating, while thermosetting plastics set permanently and cannot be remelted upon heating. Plastics are widely used in cars, pipes, flooring, kitchen countertops, and tires due to their corrosion resistance, ability to be formed into complex shapes, variety of appearances and colors, and insulation properties. However, plastics also have disadvantages such as low strength, limited temperature range, potential brittleness over time, and sensitivity to the environment. Common joining methods for plastics include mechanical fasteners, adhesives, welding processes like ultrasonic welding

AGC Chemicals is leading producer of fine silica gel ingredients in cosmetics and personal care products. Its Solesphere™ products are widely used to provide smooth texture and soft-focus (light diffraction) properties and to adsorb skin oils and perspiration. These three studies quantify the advantages of Solesphere gels versus petrochemical-based microspherical materials in prototypical, oil-in-water (O/W) formulations. Texture and soft-focus effects are compared, and results show that Solesphere H-121 is the most effective means to impart smooth textures and soft-focus effects across many oil formulations.

and injection molding equipment to optimize product.
Custom compounds and formulations for high-quality
fluoroproducts and specialty chemicals.
The AGC advantage: short production lead times, system-
controlled specifications, product consistency.
6. Why Fluoropolymer Compounds?
Fluoropolymer resins impart unique characteristics.
Performance is further increased by the use of
various fillers.
AGC offers filled PTFE compounds and
melt processable compounds.
8. Filled PTFE Compounds
High shear modulus fillers are encapsulated and bound
by the low shear modulus PTFE resin.
Addition of inorganic fillers can minimize deficiencies of PTFE
while preserving many of its desirable properties.
Fillers must be compatible with PTFE; they cannot dramatically
diminish its desirable properties.
Fillers are used to control unwanted creep, as well as
improve wear, friction and tensile properties.
Choice of filler is strongly application-dependent.
No one filler addresses all deficiencies.
9. Two Forms of Filled PTFE Compounds
Low-Flow Free-Flow
• Produced by dry-blending virgin
resin with filler
• End product resembles cake flour
• Used for simple compression
molding such as bars and
large billets
• Low-flow blend used as feed for
free flow
• Compound is wetted, pelletized
and dried
• End product is small pellets
• Physical properties of free-flow
compounds are generally decreased
compared to low-flow compounds
• Used for automatic compression and
isostatic molding, such as sleeves
10. PTFE Filler Requirements
Thermal stability of at least 750 degrees F to withstand
PTFE processing temperatures
Chemical resistance
Particle size and distribution must be consistent with
PTFE base (Typical: 325 mesh max)
Ability to interrupt PTFE transfer during wear:
• Modulus greater than PTFE
• Reasonable lubricity
• Non-abrasive
Deformation resistance
11. Potential Impact of Fillers
