• Selection of Plastic Additives

  This article discusses the selection principles and specific applications of plastic additives. Additives should be chosen based on the intended purpose, ensuring they can fully perform their functions and meet the required standards and performance specifications. Various types of additives and their applications are listed, including toughening, reinforcing, flame retardant, antistatic, conductive, magnetic, thermal conductivity, heat resistance, transparency, wear resistance, insulation, and barrier properties. The selectivity of additives for different resins is also addressed, highlighting the effectiveness of red phosphorus, nitrogen-based flame retardants, nucleating agents, and glass fiber heat resistance modifiers for specific resins. For example, red phosphorus is effective for PA, PBT, and PET, while nucleating agents work well for copolymer polypropylene.

• When Is The Best Dyeing Effect for TPE\TPR? How To Ensure Uniform Dyeing

  There are two main dyeing methods for TPE/TPR: dyeing before granulation and dyeing before molding. Dyeing before granulation ensures better color uniformity and production efficiency, while dyeing before molding offers more flexibility but may result in uneven color distribution. To achieve uniform dyeing, manufacturers should use masterbatch instead of color powder, optimize mold temperature, minimize release agent usage, and ensure high-quality raw materials. Other factors, such as injection speed and mold exhaust, also impact color consistency and should be carefully controlled.

• TPE Granules Stick Together When Granulating? Three Solutions

  TPE granules stick together when granulating? Three solutions Processing Technology: Adjust screw speed and barrel temperature for even mixing and full cooling, use low shear molding and nitrogen purification to reduce temperature, and ensure granules cool below 30°C before packaging. In hot weather, add ice to the cooling water to lower temperature. Formula: Incorporate an appropriate amount of external lubricant to prevent overuse. Raw Materials: Utilize high molecular weight SEBS with a star-shaped structure, ensuring it does not absorb more than 2.5 times its weight in oil and add fillers afterward.

• Introduction To Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Resin

  Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a polymer formed by the polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) in the presence of initiators such as peroxides and azo compounds or under the action of light or heat according to the free radical polymerization mechanism. Vinyl chloride homopolymers and vinyl chloride copolymers are collectively referred to as vinyl chloride resins.

• Can TPU Wire And TPE Wire Replace Each Other?

  TPE and TPU are both formed by extrusion. TPE has better feel and flexibility than TPU and is cheaper than TPU. In terms of hardness, TPE can reach 0A-100A, while TPU can only reach a minimum of 55A. Although they are both thermoplastic elastomer plastics, TPU has a higher bending modulus than TPE.
