Basics of thermoplastic foam injection molding (TSG)

Demands for more sustainable solutions and increased functional integration can be met by foaming thermoplastics. The resulting lightweight construction due to the lower density is also a topic that is more topical than ever. This seminar will provide an overview of various processes, the associated machine and tool technology, the special process engineering features of foaming compared to classic injection molding and welding as a subsequent process.

WEBINAR: Compounding as the key to upcycling

Kunststoff-Zentrum in Leipzig gGmbH (KUZ) uses the newly developed additive SCONA TPPET 4214 PA from Byk-Chemie GmbH for the reactive compounding of post-consumer rPET. The increase in the property level enables the reliable processing of technical lightweight components. The aim of processing the flakes is to increase the meltability as a prerequisite for a homogeneous foam structure and to increase the impact strength to the level of virgin material.
