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.

Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE, TPR)

Properties: Flexible, clear, elastic, wear resistant and impermeable.

Applications: Soles and heels for sports shoes, hammerheads, seals, gaskets, skate board wheels, synthetic leather fabrics, and silent running gears.

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.

Polymeth-ylpentene (PMP)

Properties: Rigid, tough, lightweight (density 0.83 gm/cm), chemical resistant, additives are required for outdoor use, highly permeable to gases, transparent crystalline material.

Applications: Medical ware, syringes, lamp covers, (good heat resistance), radar applications, encapsulation, microwave food packaging.

After plastic design elements and cost elements have been considered, it's time to get the plastic molded. This step is done entirely on the part of production team. After all, Imtech Design is not a consulting or design firm solely, but also a trouble shooter and analyses technician. The steps of the molded plastics production process are carefully planned and adhere to industry certification standards. In addition, customers get the benefit of experienced plastics engineers working on their component part. The plastic is cooled and packaged after molding.
