Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN) & Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA)

Properties: Rigid, transparent, tough, resistant to grease, stress cracking and crazing, easily processed, resistant to food stains.

Applications: Drinking tumblers, hi-fi covers, lenses, water jugs and toothbrush handles, kitchen and picnic ware, radio dials, TV set screens, washing machine trims.

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.

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.

The Fiber-orientation flow analysis is used to predict the behavior of composite materials. While injection-molded fiber-reinforced thermoplastics constitute a major commercial application of short-fiber composite (a filler within a polymer matrix) materials, the modeling of the process is more complex than in other flow applications. In injection-molded composites, the fiber alignment (or orientation) distributions show a layered nature, and are affected by the filling speed, the processing conditions and material behavior, plus the fiber aspect ratio and concentration. Without proper consideration of the fiber behavior, there is a tendency to significantly overestimate the orientation levels. The Moldflow fiber orientation model allows significantly improved orientation prediction accuracy over a range of materials and fiber contents.
