Moldflow Plastic Adviser, Plastics Insight, Moldflow Mpi, Mold flow communicator and Mold Adviser are Mould flow software products for simulating the injection molding of plastic materials. Imtech use CAD Connectivity Tools to link structural CAD - CAE to MPI, MPA and MPX Community projects in the plastics and tool making industry.

Moldflow is the registered trademark Moldflow Corporation & Moldflow Europe ltd and Mold flow Plastics Labs as advised in the flow front magazine and trade publications.

There are two basic types of plastic: thermosetting, which cannot be resoftened after being subjected to heat and pressure; and thermoplastic, which can be repeatedly softened and remolded by heat and pressure. When heat and pressure are applied to a thermoplastic binder, the chainlike polymers slide past each other, giving the material “plasticity.” However, when heat and pressure are initially applied to a thermosetting binder, the molecular chains become cross-linked, thus preventing any slippage if heat and pressure are reapplied.

Polyethylene (High Density - HDPE)

Properties: Flexible, translucent / waxy, weatherproof, good low temperature toughness (to -60'C), easy to process by most methods, low cost, good chemical resistance.

Applications: Chemical drums, jerricans, carboys, toys, picnic ware, household and kitchenware, cable insulation, carrier bags, food wrapping material.

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Properties: Compatibility with many different kinds of additives - PVC can be clear or coloured , rigid or flexible, formulation of the compound is key to PVC's "added value".

Applications: Window frames, drainage pipe, water service pipe, medical devices, blood storage bags, cable and wire insulation, resilient flooring, roofing membranes, stationary, automotive interiors and seat coverings, fashion and footwear, packaging, cling film, credit cards, synthetic leather and other coated fabrics.

Polyethylene (Low Density LDPE, LLDPE)

Properties: Semi-rigid, translucent, very tough, weatherproof, good chemical resistance, low water absorption, easily processed by most methods, low cost.

Applications: Squeeze bottles, toys, carrier bags, high frequency insulation, chemical tank linings, heavy-duty sacks, general packaging, gas and water pipes.
