Polysulfone is used in applications requiring good high-temperature resistance such ascoffee carafes, piping, sterilizing equipment, and microwave oven cookware.377 The good

Homopolymer polypropylene is stronger and stiffer than copolymer.Copolymer polypropylene is a bit softer, but it is tougher and more durable thanhomopolymer polypropylene. Copolymer polypropylene tends to have betterstress crack resistance and low temperature toughness than homopolymer.

The copolymers have generally similar properties, but the homopolymermay have slightly better mechanical properties, and higher melting point, butpoorer thermal stability and poorer alkali resistance.

Ultraviolet light may cause degradation in Plastics, which can be reduced by the additionof carbon black.

Nylon has a very sharp melting point and low melt viscosity, which is advantageous in injection molding but causes difficulty in extrusion and blowmolding.

The headlight lens is made from polycarbonate. PC gives excellent transparency with impact resistance which helps to avoid breakage of headlight. Polycarbonate plastic is used because of its tensile strength and the ability to be manufactured to conform to the front end styling of a vehicle. Although it's a very hard plastic, it's also very porous so during manufacturing a protective silicone hard coat is applied to the headlight lens. This silicone hard coat is supposed to protect the headlight lens from intense sun, heat, road chemicals, bugs, humidity and acid rain, etc.

Other applications include rollers or wheels, exterior body parts, drive belts, and hydraulic seals.Polyurethanes can be used in film applications such as textile laminates for clothing and protective coatings for hospital beds. They are also used in tubing and hose in both unreinforced and reinforced forms because of their low-temperature properties and toughness. Their abrasion resistance allows them to be used in applications such as athletic shoe soles and ski boots. Polyurethanes are also used as coatings for wire and cable.

Page 146: Major Plastics Properties

Weld LinesThe hairline grooves on the surface of a molded part where flow fronts join during filling, called weld lines or knit lines, cause potential cosmetic flaws and reduced mechanical performance (see figure 2-8). Because few polymer chains cross the boundary when the flow fronts butt, the tensile and impact strength in the weld-line area is reduced. The resulting notches on the weld line also act as stress concentrators, further reducing impact strength.Additionally, if the flow fronts are covered with a film from additives or a layer of impurities, they may notbind properly, which again can reduce impact and tensile strength. Weld-line strength in thermoplasticsvaries with specific resin and processing parameters, such as flow-front temperature, distance from the gate, filling pressure, and level of packing. For instance, Makrolon polycarbonate resins usually have exceptional weld-line tensile strength, typically over 95% of the strength without weld lines. Other resins can suffer over 50% loss of tensile strength at the weld line.

The glass transition temperature, Tg, is the temperature where the polymer chains have enough energy to slip easily past their neighboring chains. At temperatures well above Tg, the polymer has sufficient mobility to flow under processing stresses.

Unlike the homopolymer, copolymers can be processed by many methods, including extrusion, blow molding, and injection molding.

Acrylic fibers have good abrasion resistance, flex life, and toughness, and high strength. They have good resistance to stains and moisture.

Polyamide-imides can be used from cryogenic temperatures to nearly 260°C. They have the temperature resistance of the polyimides but better mechanical properties, including good stiffness and creep resistance.

PAI polymers are inherently flame retardant, with little smoke produced when they are burned. The polymer has good chemical resistance, but at high temperatures it can be affected by strong acids, bases, and steam. PAI has a heat deflection temperature of 280°C, along with good wear and friction properties. Polyamide-imides also have good radiation resistance and are more stable than standard nylons under different humidity conditions. The polymer has one of the highest glass transition temperatures, in the range of 270 to 285°C.

Even though ABS plastics are used largely for mechanical purposes, they also have good electrical properties that are fairly constant over a wide range of frequencies. These properties are little affected by temperature and atmospheric humidity in the acceptable operating range of temperatures. The final properties will be influenced to some extent by the conditions under which the material is processed to the final product; for example, molding at a high temperature improves the gloss and heat resistance of the product whereas the highest impact resistance and strength are obtained by molding at low temperature.

The type of nylon (nylon 6, nylon 10, etc.) is indicative of the number of carbon atomsin the repeat unit. Many different types of nylons can be prepared, depending on the startingmonomers used. The type of nylon is determined by the number of carbon atoms in themonomers used in the polymerization. The number of carbon atoms between the amidelinkages also controls the properties of the polymer. When only one monomer is used (lactamor amino acid), the nylon is identified with only one number (nylon 6, nylon 12).When two monomers are used in the preparation, the nylon will be identified using twonumbers (nylon 6,6, nylon 6,12).91 This is shown in Fig. 2.9. The first number refers to thenumber of carbon atoms in the diamine used (a) and the second number refers to the numberof carbon atoms in the diacid monomer (b + 2), due to the two carbons in the carbonylgroup.92The amide groups are polar groups and significantly affect the polymer properties. Thepresence of these groups allows for hydrogen bonding between chains, improving the interchainattraction. This gives nylon polymers good mechanical properties. The polar natureof nylons also improves the bondability of the materials, while the flexible aliphaticcarbon groups give nylons low melt viscosity for easy processing.93 This structure alsogives polymers that are tough above their glass transition temperature.94

Glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastics(FRTPs) help to simplify these problems. For instance, 40 percent glass fiberreinforcednylon outperforms its unreinforced version by exhibiting 2-1 2 timesgreater tensile and Izod impact strengths, 4 times greater flexural modulus and only1/5 of the tensile creep.

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg)Polymers come in many forms, including plastics, rubber, and fibers. Plastics are stifferthan rubber yet have reduced low-temperature properties. Generally, a plastic differs froma rubbery material due to the location of its glass transition temperature (Tg). A plastic hasa Tg above room temperature, while a rubber has a Tg below room temperature. Tg is mostclearly defined by evaluating the classic relationship of elastic modulus to temperature forpolymers as presented in Fig. 1.5.

exceeds the binding energy between neighboring molecules and growth of organized solid crystal begins. Formation of an ordered system takes certain amount of time since molecules must move from their current location to energetically preferred point at crystal nodes. As temperature falls, molecular motion slows further down and, if cooling rate is fast enough, molecules never reach their destination — the substance enters into dynamic arrest and a disordered, glassy solid (or supercooled liquid) forms. In fact Kauzmann has argued that if such an arrest did not happen at still lower temperatues a thermodynamically paradoxical situation would arise, where the undercooled liquid would have to be denser and of a lower enthalpy than the crystalline phase. Such arrest apparently takes place at certain temperature, which is called the glass transition temperature, Tg.

A full discussion of Tg requires an understanding of mechanical loss mechanisms (vibrational and resonance modes) of specific (usually common in a given material) functional groups and molecular arrangements. Factors such as heat treatment and molecular re-arrangement, vacancies, induced strain and other factors affecting the condition of a material may have an effect on Tg ranging from the subtle to the dramatic. Tg is dependent on the viscoelastic materials properties, and so varies with rate of applied load. The silicone silly putty is a good example of this: pull slowly and it flows; hit it with a hammer and it shatters.

In contrast to the melting points of crystalline materials the glass transition temperature is therefore somewhat dependent on the time-scale of the imposed change. To some extent time and temperature are interchangeable quantities when dealing with glasses, a fact often expressed in the time-temperature superposition prrinciple. An alternative way to discuss the same issue is to say that a glass transition temperature is only truly a point on the temperature scale if the change is imposed at one particular frequency. This is why the ability to modulate the temperature in a DSC experiment has made determining Tg considerably more precise. Since Tg is cooling-rate (or frequency) dependent as the glass is formed, the glass transition is not considered a true thermodynamic phase transition by many in the field. They reserve this epithet rather for a transition that is sharp and history-independent.

In polymers, Tg is often expressed as the temperature at which the Gibbs free energy is such that the activation energy for the cooperative movement of 50 or so elements of the polymer is exceeded. This allows molecular chains to slide past each other when a force is applied. From this definition, we can see that the introduction of relatively stiff chemical groups (such as benzene rings) will interfere with the flowing process and hence increase Tg. With thermoplastics, the stiffness of the material will drop due to this effect. This is shown in the figure below. It can be seen that when the glass temperature has been reached, the stiffness stays the same for a while, till the material melts. This region is called the rubber plateau.

Image:Rubberplateau.jpgTg can be significantly decreased by addition of plasticizers into the polymer matrix. Smaller molecules of plasticizer embed themselves between the polymer chains, increasing the spacing and free volume, and allowing them to move past one another even at lower temperatures. The "new-car smell" is due to the initial outgassing of volatile small-molecule plasticizers used to modify interior plastics

Acetal is the most important of all plastics. It offers long term dimensional stability and excellent lubricity. It is often used in gears for office equipment, irrigation equipment, autos, appliances, clocks and meters.

PBT produces extremely smooth surfaces in molding and is often used in housing.

Nylon offers toughness and wears well against other plastics. They are often used in worm gears and housings.

PPS offers high stiffness, dimensional stability and extended fatigue life.

LPC works well in small, precision gears under light loads, such as watch gears.

Brittleness is the opposite of toughness. As a rule,reinforced thermoplastics show higher stiffness andlower impact properties,or more brittleness thanunfilled plastics.Honeywell Plastics Design Solutions Guide plastic, 92 pages.pdf82/92

Glass Transition TemperatureAt the glass transition temperature, Tg, a material undergoes a significant change in properties. Generally, below the glass transition temperature, the material has a stiff, glassy, brittle response to loads, while above the Tg, it has a more ductile, rubbery response.Plastics-Design, 84 pages.pdf31/84

Vicat Softening PointThis is the temperature at which a small, circular, heated, lightly loaded probe penetrates a specific distance into a thermoplastic test specimen. Figure 4.01 shows a typical test apparatus. This test is useful for crystalline materials, but is of somewhat limited value for amorphous thermoplastics, which tend to creep during the test. This test indicates the ability ofa thermoplastic to withstand a short-term contact with a heated surface.Plastics-Design, 84 pages.pdf31/84

Nonuniform mold shrinkage behavior is an undesirable phenomenon in injection molding since it can lead to the following:• Distortions of the finished part (warpage)• Difficulties in hitting the target dimensions• Higher internal stress levels

Shrinkage and Warpage, 8 pages5/8

Remedy

Parts being too brittle can sometimes be seen, but is quite uncommonwith PP/TPO Compounds.1. Concentrate: Be sure that the concentrate is being added at theappropriate rate. Too much concentrate can cause the parts to bevery brittle.2. Melt Temperature: A melt temperature that is very high can degradethe material to a point where it will become brittle. Be sure thatyour melt temperature is within the specified range for your selectedmaterial.

• Review drying procedure• Reduce barrel/nozzle temperature• Increase barrel/nozzle temperature• Eliminate sharp corners• Increase injection pressure• Increase melt temperature

1. Pre-dry material.2. Lower melt temperature and/or residence time.3. Raise mould temperature.4. Reduce amount of regrind

Page 305: Major Plastics Properties

Flash is a common problem with injection molding and can often beremedied very easily.1. Parting Line: Ensure that the parting line on the injection mold isproperly maintained and is free of any debris.2. Shot size: Too large of a shot size or too much pack can often flasharound the gate.3. Clamp Pressure: Insufficient clamp tonnage or pressure can result inpoor shutoff, which will cause the part to flash. The availabletonnage should be sufficient to mold the desired part.4.

Weld line strength is the direct relation to how the two material frontscome together and melt together to become one.ACP (2004, 2005) All Rights Reserved Advanced Composites TS Group1. Melt Temperature: If the two melt fronts are not at a high enoughtemperature it could cause the weld line to be weak.2. Pressure Drop: Insufficient pressure applied to the two melt frontscan sometimes cause the weld line to be poorly welded together.3. Venting: Poor venting in the area near the weld line can cause thematerial fronts to encounter a restriction, which could cause a poorweld.

Mold• Improper venting• Section thickness too great• Improper runners or gates

Material• Excessive moisture

Often time’s bubbles can be seen in a plastic part, the following are somereasons for this occurring.1. Venting: Insufficient venting could cause the buildup of gas, whichcould result in a bubble.2. Melt Temperature: Too high of a melt temperature could cause thematerial to degrade slightly which would cause bubbles.3. Mold Temperature: A high mold temperature either through thewhole mold or locally could cause bubbles, this needs to bemonitored closely.

Relocate the gate or modify the flow path.Add a pin in the area to eliminate the gas trap.

Voids are very similar to bubbles, but less noticeable.1. Venting: Proper venting around the parting line and on ejector pinsand lifters can reduce the amount of gas that is in the mold, this willhelp eliminate voids.2. Melt Temperature: A high melt temperature can cause some materialdegradation, which could cause some voids to appear.3. Packing: Insufficient packing can sometimes cause voids to occur.This happens because the frozen layer of material stays against thetool while the part sinks from the inside out.

Page 329: Major Plastics Properties

When troubleshooting short shots it is important to look at your shot size,cushion, decompression, nozzle tip and injection speed and pressure. Ashort shot can be as simple as not having a large enough shot size to ascomplex as having a blown manifold. It is a problem that should beevaluated with caution. A few things to check are1. Shot size: Make sure that your part is roughly 90-95% full beforetransferring and that you have an adequate cushion to fill and packthe rest of the part. You should first determine how full the part is attransfer by using no pressure for pack and hold. Then use roughly75% of pressure at transfer to start packing and pack until gatefreeze occurs.2. Non-return valve: Ensure that your non-return valve is workingproperly by watching the screw during injection. If the screw rotatesduring injection, the valve may be letting material leak past thevalve. Increasing decompression may allow the valve to seat betterand allow a better shut off condition, but could cause splay or othercosmetic issues.3. Injection Rate: If the injection rate is too slow it is very possible thatthe gate will freeze before the part is full. Be sure that the gate isnot freezing before proper part packing by monitoring the machineand ensuring that transfer is achieved.4. Gate design/location: If the gate(s) are in a poor location or theimproper size it will sometimes not allow the part to fill properly.You will often see ribs and/or bosses that are not completely full ifthis is a problem.ACP (2004, 2005) All Rights Reserved Advanced Composites TS Group5. Venting: An improperly vented tool will sometimes prohibit the partfrom being filled properly and completely.6. Nozzle seat: Another possible reason for short shots is impropernozzle seat. Ensure that the nozzle tip orifice is slightly smaller andof the same radius (slightly smaller) as the sprue bushing on themold. This will reduce the possibility of a “cap” on the front of thebarrel.

Sinks can be eliminated or decreased with some simple practices. It isfirst important to understand if it is a sink or if it is a pull.1. Proper mold packing: Be sure to do a part weight study to determinewhen the gate freezes and to ensure that you are packing the mostamount of material possible into the mold. This will hopefully packout the sinks that are seen.2. Proper gate size: It is very important to have the proper gate sizeand location. It can be impossible to pack out a sink if the gate istoo far away or too small. Following our gating guidelines andspeaking with or technical representatives can help you out withthese problems.3. Rib/Wall ratio: The rib/ boss thickness should not be more than 40%of the thickness of the nominal wall.4. Rib/Boss texture: It is common for ribs to have a poor texture onthem, which will cause them to stick in the mold. Sticking ribs in amold will often give the appearance of a sink, but is in fact a “pull”.

Gate blush is very common in injection molding, more often then not, itis seen with the use of sub-gates or cashew gates.1. Packing: An over pack of the part can cause a blush to be seenaround the gate area. If the selected pressure/time is needed to fillthe part out, a larger gate may be needed.2. Flow rate: A high flow rate can sometimes result in a gate blush,slowing the injection rate down or making the gate larger can helpeliminate this problem.

Color streaks are often a problem when the material has not beenblended at the proper ratio or when the screw is not of a proper design.1. Material blending: It is critical that the proper material/concentrateratio be used. Any deviation from this ratio could cause problemswith color streaks and/or improper color.2. Material mixing: Proper screw design is critical when molding aPP/TPO compound. We recommend a distributive mixing screw witha high shear spiral mixing head on the tip of the screw. Slowing thescrew down to where it gets to its full shot position about 2 secondsbefore the cure time has ended is a good practice to follow. We alsoask that you consult with a technical representative beforepurchasing a screw to ensure you are purchasing the correct design.3. Shear Rate: Color can sometimes separate from the material whileflowing through the gate or high shear areas. Slowing the fill downor reducing the restriction can reduce the shear rate and thereforereduce color streaking.

For the sake of argument splay will be included with silver streaking.They both appear to be the same defect, but some people differentiatebetween moisture splay and shear splay, calling shear splay silverstreaking.1. Proper drying: If the material you are using has talc in it, werecommend that you dry that material according the process sheet.Be cautious of over drying the material as this may cause some of theadditives to be cooked out of the material. Polypropylene does notabsorb moisture but the talc will, it is important to drive off thatmoisture.2. Venting: Be sure to have the tool properly vented in all possiblelocations. Venting ejector pins and lifters is also suggested.ACP (2004, 2005) All Rights Reserved Advanced Composites TS Group3. Excess shear: Too high shear can often cause silver streaking or splay.Controlling and reducing the flow rate through the area where thesplay is seen can eliminate this.4. Gas trapping: If two or more material flow fronts are converging oneach other it can sometimes cause a gas trap that is eventually movedfrom the area and is smeared out across the part. Try to eliminatethe gas trap by changing the material flow in that area.

The occurrence of tiger stripes comes when the material sees to high of ashear rate going through the gate and when the material has to travel along distance.1. Reduce Shear Rate: Opening up the gate(s) or reducing the injectionrate can reduce or eliminate the appearance of tiger stripes.2. Heat up the grained side of the tool: This will help the material flowmore easily through the tool.3. Increase Melt Temp: This will help the material flow a little easierthrough the gate and possibly help with the appearance of tigerstripes.

When a difference in gloss is seen, it is important to make a carefulevaluation of the situation, use the following to help determine what theproblem is.1. Temperature and Pressure: If two melt fronts are coming togetherand the temperature is too low or the pressure is too low it will notallow the area to be packed out properly, causing a higher gloss inthat area.ACP (2004, 2005) All Rights Reserved Advanced Composites TS Group2. Venting: Be sure to check all vents around parting lines, on ejectorpins, and on lifters. Improper venting can cause gas to come to thesurface of the part and will give it a higher gloss.3. Flow distance: If the material has traveled a long distance it willsometimes not be packed out properly far from the gate. This can behelped with a larger gate or changing the gate location to help packthat area out better.
