Lightweight hinged closures for milk
GALILEO® is the registered name for a new range of closures from BERICAP that all use its new patented technology for moulding hinged closures in closed position which allows relatively high speed moulding, does not require any additional closing operation that is necessary for the traditional hinged closures and offers quite efficient tamper evidence (TE) performance.
Read ArticleSBC polymer Styrolux now also for blow moulding
Recent tests have demonstrated that Styrolux® 3G46, a highly transparent SBC plastic grade that BASF launched onto the market just in 2006, lends itself very well for blow molding (SBC: styrene butadiene block copolymer). In comparison to established transparent materials used for this method such as PVC, PET-G or PC, Styrolux is 30 percent lighter in weight and easier to process by extrusion blow molding (EBM) as well as by injection blow molding (IBM). Thus, a wide array of different types of transparent hollow objects such as storage containers and decorative vessels, sports drink bottles and dispensers can be manufactured cost-effectively.
Read ArticleLow energy and high performance
With the slogan “low energy, high performance” exhibits Netstal, the Swiss manufacturer of injection moulding machines, for the first time at the international trade fair Interpack in Düsseldorf/Germany. On show is Netstal's ELION machine which is by now perfectly established in the market. An application from the area of thin-wall injection moulding demonstrates effectively how well the models of this all-electric machine range perform. In its participation in the Interpack Netstal also picks up two mega trends in the plastics trade.
Read ArticleApplications to extrusion blow moulding extended
Be it hairspray bottles, paint cans or oil tanks – thanks to BASF’s new Ultraform® E3120 BM, hollow objects with demanding requirements can now be made of polyoxymethylene (POM) by means of extrusion blow molding. In comparison to containers made of polyethylene (PE), they display considerable better barrier properties against gases such as oxygen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Ultraform E3120 BM is resistant to many types of media such as alcohol, oil and hydrocarbons, and moreover, it can be sterilized with hot steam. This product is now available in commercial quantities. Easy to process, translucent and chemical-resistant
