In extrusion it’s generally accepted that rigid PVC (RPVC) has a high torque requirement because of its very high viscosity in the processing range. Most of the RPVC screws running today have deep ...

In recent decades, plastic pipes have gained an increasingly important role in numerous sectors thanks to their characteristics, including lightness, mechanical strength, flexibility, and durability.

In the plastics industry, twin screws are at the very heart of the extrusion process that transforms raw materials into rigid PVC pipe or profile. These highly engineered components are integral to ...

In manufacturing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes, the required thickness and weight depend on the extruder flow rate. The extruder setup can be very time-consuming and inefficient since it requires ...

The use of plastic materials by the piping industry accounts for a significant volume of polymers. In this segment PVC represents the largest worldwide market for plastics. PVC is often used in ...

A transparent medical-grade thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) from Teknor Apex (Pawtucket, RI) has been selected to replace PVC in the manufacture of a component used in an anesthesia device manufactured ...
