The Basics of Troubleshooting in Plastics Processing is acondensed practical guide that gives the reader a broadintroduction to properties of thermoplastics plastics, additives,the major processes (extrusion, injection molding, rotationalmolding, blow molding, and thermoforming), as well astroubleshooting. The main goal is to provide the plasticsprocessor with an improved understanding of the basics byexplaining the science behind the technology. Machine details areminimized as the emphasis is on processing problems and the defectsin an effort to focus on basic root causes to problems and how tosolve them.
The book's framework is troubleshooting in plasticsprocessing because of the importance it has to the eventualproduction of high quality end products. Each chapter contains bothpractical and detailed technical information.
This basic guide provides state-of-the-art information on:
* Processing problems and defects during manufacturing
* Plastics materials, their properties and characterization
* The plastics processing techniques
* Plastics additives
* Troubleshooting of the 5 main plastics processes
* References for further reading
