TECNOLOGIES
Formation techniques
Lamination
For example: glossy, matt or textured
-
-
Thermoplastic produced by the extrusion method ls passed through a senes of hot cylinders to produce sheets of varying thtckness
Vacuum forming
-
-
We extract the air below the sheet so that the plastic ts pulled against the instde walls of the shaped mould, and the desired form ts created
We leave the mould to cool, then remove the obiect
extrusion
We put thermoplastic, in granular form, Into a previously heated cylinder
We apply pressure by means of a large, rotattng screw, whtch forces the melted matenal out, through a nuzzle
-
Finally, we collect the pieces of plastic through a feeder system
Moulding
Blow
We put a tubular-shaped piece of plastic into a hollow mould which has the same shape as the oblect 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
Used to form: hollow oblects, for example bottles and flasks
Compression
The outer part of the cavity mould, shaped the same, is closed to compress the material inside
-
-
-
Used to form: different types of containers, machine bodywork and electrical appliances
injection
When the material has cooled and solidified, we extract tt from the mould
-
-
when we manufacture plasttc obiects in industry, the plastic is avadable In three different forms, powder, granules and resins
plastics
Plastics are materials formed by polymers. The polymers in plastics are made from long chains of carbon atoms.

-
. Properties of plastics
Strength, elasticity, rigidity and flexibtflty are charactenstics of many plastics
-
-
Ecological properties
-
Energetic recycling
we can incinerate plastics and the energy that
is produced is used tn industry, for heating or producing electricty
-
-
Classification
Thermostable
-
When heated, they become soft and can be shaped. When cooled, they cannot be remoulded by applying heat
-
Elastomers
they are hard, resistant and very elastic - stretching easily under
force
they're formed by chains linked laterally and then folded over
themselves, like a ball of wool or strtng
made by vulcanisationi mixing sulphur and rubber, and heating to 160'C
Thermoplastics
-
When we heat them, they become
soft, which allows them to be formed into diferents shapes
-
-
Stone and ceramics
Stone blinders
-
-
-
-
Sand and gravel are used directly to make asphalt and also for binders, which are used to 'bind' or join other matenals together
-
-
-
Joining plastic
Temporary joints
Mechanical fasteners
-
Double ended screw
Each end of the screw can be inserted into one of a Each end of the screw can be inserted into one of a pair of object.
-
Permanent joints
Adhesives
acrylic cement (liquid, used mainly with PVC and polystyrene)
ontact adhesives (liquid, work instantly after appiymg to
both surfaces, used with all types of plastic)
resins with two components (liquid, high water resistance)
-
Textiles and leath
-
Synthetic fibres
They are long-lasting, resistant and waterproof
-
Synthetic fibres such as nylon, polyester, rayon and Lycra* are plastics
