Plastics Profiler ABS+PC Blends
ABS+PC are blends of the amorphous engineering thermoplastics, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC). ABS+PC is similar in many ways to its component resins, but combines the mechanical and thermal properties of polycarbonate with the processability and economy of ABS.
Polyethylene By Density
Polyethylene is the largest volume thermoplastic used today. Polyethylene is available in a variety of grades that have a wide range of properties and are classified according to density.
Material Line-Up: Nylon 6 vs. Nylon 66
Glass fiber reinforced Nylon is a material often used to replace metal due to its higher strength to weight ratio. While Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 offer similar benefits there are distinct differences that should be taken into account when selecting between the two grades.
Carbon Black-Use In Recycled Plastics
Carbon black has many applications in plastics. Carbon black is typically dispersed into a plastic master batch concentrate at a high dosage, 15% to 50% by weight. Concentrate allows AGS Technology to utilize carbon black in a pre-dispersed pellet form...
