Polybutene-1 (PB-1)

Properties: PB-1 is obtained by polymerisation of butene-1, with a stereo-specific Ziegler-Natta catalyst to create a linear, high molecular, isotactic and semi-crystalline polymer.

Applications: A major application area for polybutene resins is seal-peel or easy-open packaging. Typical examples include carton liners (e.g. cereal packaging) and packs for pre-packed delicatessen products like cold meats, cheeses and smoked salmon.

Poly-phenylene Oxide (PPO)

Properties: Rigid, opaque, good dimensional stability at high temperature and humidity conditions, difficult to process (blended to ease injection moulding), tough.

Applications: Coffee pot and washing m/c parts (where high temperature and moisture are critical), replacement for die castings, drink vending machines, microwave components.

Aramids PI Aromatic Polyamide

Properties: Rigid, opaque, high strength, exceptional thermal and electrical properties (up to 480'C), resistant to ionising rediation, high cost.

Applications: Aerospace components, reinforcing fibres, high temperature resistance foams, chemical fibres and arc welding torches.

Imtech's Injection Moulding Problem Solving guide indicates typical methods for fine tuning the plastic injection moulding machine to reduce the occurrence of common molding problems including:- Parts stick in the mould, Flash, Poor Weld Lines, Burn marks, Short Shots, Pit Marks, Surface Ripples, Sink Marks, Voids, Splay Marks / De-lamination, Discoloration, Warpage / Distortion, Brittleness, Nozzle drool, Incomplete melting of pellets.
