Topics:

Thermosetting Copression Moulding	Blown Film
Thermosetting Injection Moulding	Printing
Compounding	Extrusion Blow Moulding
Extrusion	Extrusion Sheet Material
Extrusion of Pipe	Forming of Fibres
Crosshead Extruder

This video examines compression and injection moulding of thermosetting materials, physical properties of polymers and how these vary with temperature changes, compounding, extrusion, extrusion of pipe, cross head and co extrusion, blow moulding, blown film and printing, production of fibres and printing on plastics.

Actual footage shows how material is handled, how various products are manufactured (such as pipe, cable, carpet, film) and the application of printing on plastic products. Computer graphics are used to help explain the various processes. This is a solid primer for secondary teaching institutions, trade and technician courses, vocational and university students, sales reps, new employees or anyone who wants a substantial overview of material selection for specific processes. (This product was reviewed and approved by SPE members).

The double CD pack of each program has been specially designed for the teaching situation and induction of staff into the workplace. One CD is a VCD of the program playable on a DVD player. The second CD consists of the script and a PowerPoint presentation of the computer graphics ideal for class notes and lecture theatre plus an Mpeg version of the program ideal for the office situation. These features are all self-installing.
