Sheet makes skateboard glow in the dark.A high-performance molded skateboard launched by Bell Innovative in Sylmar, Calif., uses extrusion and injection molding PP compounds from RTP (1) (Rapid Transport Protocol) The protocol used in IBM's High Performance Routing (HPR) system. (2) (Realtime Transport Protocol) An IP protocol that supports real time transmission of voice and video. Co., Winona, Minn. The skateboards incorporate glow-in-the-dark (GITD GITD Glow in the Dark GITD Global Internet-Telephony Directory (Netnumber) ) pigments on the underbody, increasing safety and consumer appeal. Until now, professional skateboards have been made of laminated wood and thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic. composite, while all-plastic molded versions have been restricted to low-cost market sectors. RTP formulated and extruded a PP sheet using high-intensity GITD pigments that reportedly provide 10-fold greater brightness and longevity. RTP, a new entrant in extruded specialty sheets, supplied the sheet for fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. into inserts. The inserts are subsequently overmolded using an RTP 100 series glass-reinforced PP compound. Tel: (800) 433-4787, www.rtpcompany.com |
