Polyurethanes & RIM.


Despite the small number of polyurethane and RIM exhibitors, you will find some interesting new materials and equipment technology.

One highlight will be a novel aliphatic aliphatic /al·i·phat·ic/ (al?i-fat´ik) pertaining to any member of one of the two major groups of organic compounds, those with a straight or branched chain structure.

al·i·phat·ic
adj.
 PUR cast elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  technology said to enable production of highly transparent parts with unique property profiles. Developed by Bayer MaterialScience Bayer MaterialScience (BMS) is an independent subgroup within Bayer AG. It was created as part of the restructuring of Bayer AG from the former business group Bayer Polymers, with certain of its activities being spun off to Lanxess AG.  LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.

LLC - Logical Link Control
 to meet the increased global demand for high-quality ophthalmic products, the patented technology can make elastomers from extremely hard to very soft. They boast high impact, abrasion/scratch resistance, and light stability. They also have low viscosity at room temperature, 1.8:1 mix ratio, and fast demold.

High-pressure machines

New high-pressure RIM machines will be featured by Gusmer/Decker and Hi-Tech Engineering. Rimcell Lite high-pressure RIM machines from Gusmer/Decker sell for under $40,000. They feature PLC control, a self-cleaning GX15 mixhead (spray or pour versions), 10-gal day tanks, and a flow rate of 6 to 30 lb/min.

Hi-Tech's EZRim high-pressure RIM machine is designed as a low-cost, simple alternative to low-pressure machines for production of gaskets or for lamination lamination

 of sun visors, where PUR can replace epoxy. Operating with relay logic Relay logic is a method of controlling industrial electronic circuits by using relays and contacts. The schematic diagrams for relay logic circuits are often called line diagrams, because the inputs and outputs are essentially drawn in a series of lines.  (no PLC), it sells for around $35,000, which is about 25% less than the company's EcoRim unit and 30% to 45% less than others on the market.
