How to Find Alternative Plastics
by Ben Howe, IDES
Have you ever been asked to improve your part's performance? Or perhaps the plastic material you've been using doesn't exist anymore. Or you've been asked to cut costs yet again.
Here are some common reasons why you may need to find alternative plastics from time to time:
- Material Discontinued or Renamed
- Part Performance Improvement
- Part Requirements Have Changed
- Current Supplier Can't Deliver
- Reducing Part Cost
How can you find an alternative plastic to solve answers to these problems? This article discusses reasons, obstacles and tips for finding alternative plastics.
Questions and Answers with Suhas Kulkarni
On April 13, 2007, IDES and Suhas Kulkarni gave a complimentary webinar on "A Scientific Approach to Processing for Injection Molding."
Recently we posted answers to several injection molding questions posed by participants who attended his webinar - some questions include:
- What is the difference on appearance between crystallized part and uncrystallized part out of the same material?
- Why do nylon or PBT materials drip even with proper drying?
- For a family with parts of different weights, is the pack and hold calculation process the same?
