PLASTICS
-
Formation techniques
Extrusion
We put thermoplastic, in granular form, Into a previously heated cylinder
We apply pressure by means of a large, rotattng screw, which forces
the melted matenal out, through a nuzzle.
-
Finally, we collect the pieces of plastic through a feeder system.
Lamination
Thermoplastic produced by the extrusion method ls passed through a series of hot cylinders to produce sheets of varying thikness.
With this technique, we can produce different finishes, for example,glossy,matt or textured. this depends on the outer coating applied by the final cylinder
-
Vacum forming
-
-
We extract the air below the sheet so that the plastic is pulled against the inside walls of the shaped mould, and the desired form is created.
We leave the mould to cool, then remove the obiect
-
Moulding
Injection moulding
We inject melted thermoplastic into a mould ,When the material has cooled and solidified, we extract tt from the
mould
-
Blow moulding
We put a tubular-shaped piece of plastic into a hollow mould which has the same shape as the object that we want to make
We close the mould and blow pressurised air into it, so that the plastic adheres to the sides of the mould and takes its shape.
When the object is cold, we remove it from the mould
-
Compression
We put thermostable plastic, which can be in granular form,
into the base of a cavity mould.
The outer part of the cavity mould,shaped teh same,is closed to compress the material inside.we then heat it and it becomes moldeable

Plastics are materials formed by polymers. The polymers in plastics are
made from long chains of carbon atoms.

Propierties of plastics
Strength, elasticity, rigidity and flexibility are characteristics of many plastics

Ecological properties
We can recycle plastics, there are three recycling processes
