Ansa Composites Group specializes in the design and manufacture of thermoset, thermoplastic ( injection and compression) molds for plastics. Composed of a team of professionals who are able to work tirelessly on the quality of the product offered and design standards; pursuing best practices for the development of any type of mold. Present in Italy… Continue reading Thermoset molds: our specialization
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
People who progress in life are those who go out of their way to find the circumstances they want and, if they do not find them, create them (George Bernard Shaw) The Ansa Composites Group has always been involved in the design and manufacture of plastic items for the consumer goods sector, i.e., a market… Continue reading Successful plastic items
With the advent and subsequent refinement in the use of thermoset composites (ultra-high-performance plastics), decidedly advantageous results have been achieved in many cases over the more commonly used metal materials used to date, not only in terms of cost, but also performance. Companies that have embarked on the path of renewal, thanks in part to… Continue reading Replacing metal has become cost-effective – the competitive advantages of thermoset molding
The main physical properties of a thermoplastic and thermoset product are: Extreme solidity at room temperature Excellent electrical insulation Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation Portability and ease of use due to the light weight of the material Resistance to the action of time Weathering resistance Liquid and gas impermeability Excellent resistance of thermoplastic products to… Continue reading The main physical properties of plastics
Back in 1909, Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland made a discovery for which he is still considered one of the most influential scientists in history: the discovery of Bakelite, the first thermosetting plastic material! Studying two petroleum derivatives, phenol and the formeldehyde, he invented a material that, when heated and subjected to pressure, could polymerize and… Continue reading Plastics-the first synthetic plastic in history
