    A simple visualization of the forming process Vacuum forming machine to produce inner liner/food liner of refrigerator. Vacuum forming is a simplified version of thermoforming, where a sheet of plastic in various forms of High Impact Polystyrene Sheet (HIPS) for low impact products, or ABS for bathroom shower trays, and HDPE for exterior vehicle parts, plus various other types of vacuum ...

  3. Acrylic resin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_resin

    Acrylic resin is a common ingredient in latex paint (UK: "emulsion paint"). Latex paints with a greater proportion of acrylic resin offer better stain protection, greater water resistance, better adhesion, greater resistance to cracking and blistering, and resistance to alkali cleaners compared to those with vinyl.

  4. Thermoforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoforming

    Its simplified version is vacuum forming. In its simplest form, a small tabletop or lab size machine can be used to heat small cut sections of plastic sheet and stretch it over a mold using vacuum. This method is often used for sample and prototype parts. In complex and high-volume applications, very large production machines are utilized to ...

  5. Plastic extrusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_extrusion

    A common post-extrusion process for plastic sheet stock is thermoforming, where the sheet is heated until soft (plastic), and formed via a mold into a new shape. When vacuum is used, this is often described as vacuum forming. Orientation (i.e. ability/ available density of the sheet to be drawn to the mold which can vary in depths from 1 to 36 ...

  6. Resin casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_casting

    Specialist equipment can enable closed molds to be filled whilst under vacuum, a process known as resin vacuum casting, where air and gas bubbles are completely removed from the cast part. Pressure and/or centrifugal force can be used to help push the liquid resin into all details of the mold. The mold can also be vibrated to expel bubbles ...

    Tidy Sums. Like so many other things you don't need to buy, many cleaning products simply don't work well, do more harm than good, or can be skipped in favor of a much cheaper do-it-yourself solution.

  9. Polymer degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_degradation

    Polymer degradation is the reduction in the physical properties of a polymer, such as strength, caused by changes in its chemical composition.Polymers and particularly plastics are subject to degradation at all stages of their product life cycle, including during their initial processing, use, disposal into the environment and recycling.
