Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Plastic: Virgin and Post‐Consumer Resin Options for Your Personal Care Packaging
Compared to other packaging materials commonly considered “sustainable” from an environmental perspective, PET (virgin or recycled) offers an attractive mix of attributes, especially if a personal care company wants a clear or glass‐like transparent container. Even when colored ...
Temperature and Sterilization Monitoring in a Rice Mill
CAS DataLoggers introduced a flexible data monitoring system to a rice miller and food processing company that had recently installed a new production line. This line produced various cooked rice products in reheatable and microwaveable polymer sachets. Consequently the data logging system was utilized to monitor the retort cooking and ...
Basics on Anaerobic Adhesives and Threadlockers By Mike Shannahan Loctite Corporation
Typically used to augment the seal or holding force of a mechanically joined assembly, anaerobic adhesives are used as threadlockers, thread sealants, retaining materials, and flange sealants. When designed into an assembly, these adhesives reduce component inventories, decrease total manufacturing costs, ...
The effects of electron beam curing energy on plastic films are real and potentially harmful to flexible materials otherwise compliant with U.S. FDA requirements for food packaging. Discover how to manage these materials with specific converting technology.
Traditionally, non-spill quick disconnect couplings have served the high pressure, industrial hydraulic market. Existing commercial designs are characterized by minimal air inclusion at connection and low spillage at disconnect. Common coupler package materials include machined brass, zinc-coated steel and stainless steel. Recent design innovations and improvements include advances in valve ...
Highly reliable high power carbon dioxide lasers are being increasingly employed in the converting industry. New laser sources with different wavelengths are available to allow more controlled laser cutting and perforating processes. These process advantages are thought to be due to enhanced absorption of certain thermoplastics at these shorter wavelengths and this paper investigates these. ...
Silicone elastomers have been used in extreme temperature environments virtually since their invention. Even from their early commercialisation during World War 2 they were put to use in the temperature range -50oC to +300oC for limited exposure in military applications, where they provided unrivalled utility in, for instance, aircraft engine gaskets and greases. Today, the applications for ...
Plastics have proliferated so readily throughout the modern world because of their versatility. Plastics can be flexible or rigid, brittle or resilient, clear or colored, and have many other useful properties. Some plastics are electrically conductive while others are excellent insulators. It is widely divergent properties such as these that allow a plastic to perform almost any role. In general ...
Silicone is a class of specialty chemicals that have unique properties that results from its origins at the frontier of inorganic and organic chemistry. This paper will describe the nature of silicone and the physical and chemical properties that make it unique. The relationship and utilization of these properties to applications throughout the petroleum production and refining chain will be ...
In this study, the prototype of a thermal roller imprint lithography (RIL) system was devel- oped and applied to RIL tests to evaluate its feasibility for the large area replication of an optical micro device. The developed system adapts an automatic stamp releasing mechanism and has the capacity to replicate ultra-precision structures on an area of 100 mm × 100 mm at the scanning speed range of ...
Raptor® semi-automatic stretch wrapper and automatic stretch wrapper models feature turntable stretch wrapping for securing up to 35 and 45 loads per ...
