  2. Vacuum forming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_forming

    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. Materials for use in vacuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materials_for_use_in_vacuum

    Dry lubricants, can be incorporated in plastics as fillers, as a component of sintered metals, or deposited on metal, ceramic and plastic surfaces. Molybdenum disulfide is a dry lubricant usable in vacuum. Tungsten disulfide is another dry lubricant usable in vacuum. It can be used at higher temperatures than MoS 2.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Thermoforming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoforming

    After a short form cycle, a burst of reverse air pressure is actuated from the vacuum side of the mold as the form tooling opens, commonly referred to as air-eject, to break the vacuum and assist the formed parts off of, or out of, the mold. A stripper plate may also be utilized on the mold as it opens for ejection of more detailed parts or ...

  6. Vacuum chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_chamber

    A vacuum chamber is a rigid enclosure from which air and other gases are removed by a vacuum pump. This results in a low- pressure environment within the chamber, commonly referred to as a vacuum . A vacuum environment allows researchers to conduct physical experiments or to test mechanical devices which must operate in outer space (for example ...

  7. Acrylate polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylate_polymer

    Acrylic elastomer is a general term for a type of synthetic rubber whose primary component is acrylic acid alkyl ester (ethyl or butyl ester). [3] Acrylic elastomer possesses characteristics of heat and oil resistance, with the ability to withstand temperatures of 170–180 °C. It is used primarily for producing oil seals and packaging related ...

  8. Vacuum deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_deposition

    Vacuum deposition is a group of processes used to deposit layers of material atom-by-atom or molecule-by-molecule on a solid surface. These processes operate at pressures well below atmospheric pressure (i.e., vacuum). The deposited layers can range from a thickness of one atom up to millimeters, forming freestanding structures.

  9. Phase (matter) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_(matter)

    A mixture of water (a polar liquid) and oil (a non-polar liquid) will spontaneously separate into two phases. Water has a very low solubility (is insoluble) in oil, and oil has a low solubility in water. Solubility is the maximum amount of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent before the solute ceases to dissolve and remains in a separate phase.
