Thermoplastic and automotive molding: choosing the most suitable TPE

Choosing the most suitable elastomer is a critical issue in many automotive thermoplastic molding projects. Here are some ideas for guidance: Thermoplastic elastomers or thermoplastic rubbers (TPEs) are becoming increasingly popular in the automotive and transportation industries. They are used, for example, as a replacement for traditional tires, compared with which they are more cost-effective.… Continue reading Thermoplastic and automotive molding: choosing the most suitable TPE

Molding of thermosetting polymers

Thermosetting polymers are special polymers that once produced cannot be remelted without undergoing complete and final chemical degradation. Thermoset materials are processed to arrive at a finished product in two stages: in the first stage polymer chains are created, while in the next stage of molding-which is represented by heating or a catalyzed chemical reaction-the… Continue reading Molding of thermosetting polymers

The value of precision

Precisióne: – To be precise; exactitude, meticulousness in doing some thing, in formulating one’s thought; – In the experimental sciences and in technology, the greater or lesser degree with which, in performing experience or workmanship, one approaches the conditions set. (Treccani Dictionary)

Molding of plastics from A to Z

“The customer can come to the company even with just an idea: we think of everything needed for the realization of the finished product, including the selection of the most suitable material.” This is how Antonella Zonetti, owner of Ansa Composites Group, sums up the activities of her companies. “Thanks to 50 years of experience… Continue reading Molding of plastics from A to Z

Overview of injection molding

Injection molding is one of the molding methods for processing plastics. The process involves injecting previously heated material into a cold mold under great pressure; during the heating phase, the product reaches the right degree of fluidity necessary to be injected into the mold through a plunger. This type of molding process is particularly suitable… Continue reading Overview of injection molding

The main differences between thermoplastics and thermosetting materials

Thermoplastics and thermosets can be divided according to the “behavior” they take on in relation to heat. Thermosetting materials: due to their processing by heat and pressure, they undergo changes that permanently change their nature. Once the object with the designed shape has been made-through molding machines-the material, when heated again, carbonizes, being unable to… Continue reading The main differences between thermoplastics and thermosetting materials
