A process in which naphthas are converted to high-octane aromatics in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst under pressure and heat. hy , a technology utilizing fluid pressure behind a diaphragm diaphragm (dī`əfrăm'), term used to describe any of several large muscles, found in humans and other mammals, which separate two adjacent regions of the body. The most commonly known muscle of this class is the thoraco-abdominal diaphragm. to force heated film into a mold. The firm recently opened a 6500sq-ft Project Development Center for development of tooling and equipment for forming film inserts for in-mold decorating (IMD IMD - intermodulation distortion ) of appliques via injection molding injection molding n. A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold. . Customers will be trained there and can verify tooling and production processes before the systems are shipped to customer plants. For IMD, Hy-tech developed a special AccuForm process, which combines elements of hydroforming and standard thermoforming. Its key feature is to eliminate sag, thereby ensuring optimum print registration, the company says. Tel: (602) 944-1526 * www.hytechusa.com |
