Following an overview of mold and die types, this resource provides a comprehensive discussion of thermoplastic and thermosetting resins and their molding procedures, including a section on fiber-forming spinning. Casting and reinforcing processes are reviewed, as are foaming processes, foaming agents, and other materials used in foamed polymers. Rubber compounding and processing technologies are also examined, as well as a range of options in plastics decoration. The last section discusses important environmental concerns and recycling solutions. |

| Publisher Description: Derived from the fourth edition of the well-known Plastics Technology Handbook, Plastics Fabrication and Recycling presents the molding and fabrication processes of plastics as well as several important features of plastics recycling. The book begins with a discussion of different types of molds and dies, including compression molding, injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, reaction injection molding, extrusion, and pultrusion. It then covers spinning, casting, reinforcing, foaming, compounding, and coating processes as well as powder molding, adhesive bonding, and plastics welding techniques. The authors also explore the decoration of plastics, including painting operations, printing processes, hot stamping, in-mold decorating, embossing, electroplating, and vacuum metallizing. They conclude with an overview on key aspects of plastics recycling, developments in the field, and waste recycling problems. |
