In trying to manufacture good quality plastic gears. Processors must face some challenges. We’ll discuss these challenges and how to solve them. First, let us look at why even bother with plastic gears in the first place.

Glass fibers combine the properties of glass with those of plastics.  This makes injection molding possible. But the injection molding of glass fibers is quite

Now more than ever, manufacturers have more choice of plastics. Likewise, the possibilities of products made with plastics are endless. Consumer goods, vehicle parts machines,

ABS is a thermoplastic polymer. It has an amorphous structure and melts temperature between 190 and 270oC. But it is injection molded between 40 and 80oC. A terpolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene produced by emulsion polymerization. It is a low cost, high impact resistant, and lightweight. It has an average density of 1.07g/m3. It can withstand an impact of 200 -215J/m. ABS is a low-cost material.

The concept of backpressure is interesting. This in part because it is an elegant demonstration of thermodynamics. One of many such in the injection molding

In many ways, plastics have replaced glass in several applications. Think display structures, sample bottles, tool parts, cosmetics containers, and Tupperwares. These amongst many others

Polymers have replaced metals in many applications in the medical and other industries. This has led to improved treatment and management of several medical conditions.

If you are always curious about how things get made, at some point you would have taken a look at a plastic product. You would
