Vishu Shah
Abstract: The emphasis is on scientific approach to a somewhat complex injection molding process in order to simplify and eliminate basic misunderstanding about processing techniques employed today throughout the industry. The importance of understanding polymer basics, material flow properties, viscosity-shear rate curve, major plastics variables in molding, decoupled molding techniques, data analysis and interpretation. Fundamental and scientific approaches to material drying, venting, cooling, use of regrind, universal set-up sheet, cycle time optimization, tooling considerations, etc. Use of modern tools and techniques such as mold flow analysis, cavity pressure transducers, and data acquisition tools along with troubleshooting techniques will also be covered. Bio: Vishu H. Shah is President of Consultek Consulting Group, a technical and management consulting firm. His 35 years of extensive practical experience in plastics Industry include product design, processing, automation, materials, rapid prototyping, tooling, failure analysis and testing. He is the author of Handbook of Plastics Testing and Failure Analysis and has taught various plastics related subjects throughout his career. Currently, he is teaching classes covering, Plastics Theory and Practice, Scientific Molding, Product Design and Tooling at CAL POLY, Pomona. Vishu is a graduate of UMass Lowell where he received his B.S. and M.S. in Plastics Engineering. Additional Requirements: |
| Comments: Milliken Chemical is specializes in providing additive technologies for polyolefins and polyesters. For polypropylene, Milliken provides clarifiers (Millad 3988), Nucleators (Hyperform), and clear colorants (ClearTint). For PET, Milliken provides a UV absorber that is incorporated into the polymer (ClearShield). |
