Single Screw Extruder
Single screw extrusion is one of the core operations in polymer processing and is also a key component in many other processing operations. The foremost …
Fluoric polymers (PTFE/PVDF)
Fluoropolymers have excellent, almost universal chemical resistance. They can be used both at high and very low temperatures (-260 to +260°C). They also possess outstanding …
Twin screw extrusion technology
How does extrusion work? Extrusion processing aims to physico-chemically transform continuously viscous polymeric media and produce high quality structured products thanks to the accurate control …

Fluoropolymers Properties
Properties Fluoropolymers are produced from alkenes in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by fluorine. The most important members are polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), …
Properties of PTFE and Some Other Insulating Materials
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Teflon ® The combination of chemical and physical properties of PTFE is a consequence of its true fluorocarbon structure. This unusual structure leads …
Polymer Compounding
In a majority of instances, the polymer formed in the reaction is modified to fabricate a particular product, or to suit the needs of a …
Polymer Productction
Thermosets. Facilities that produce/formulate thermoset polymers typically describe the initial reaction phase as “condensation” polymerization. During the reaction, a condensate is formed when unreacted and …
