Three-way alliance for TP/TS molding. (In Brief).Three German-based materials and machinery firms have signed a cooperation agreement to develop hard/soft combinations of engineering thermoplastics 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. silicone elastomers. Hard Parts with molded-in seals would be one example. The partners are Bayer AG, GE Bayer Silicones (a joint venture of Bayer and GE Silicones), and Krauss-Maffei. Their efforts will focus on using K-M K-M Krauss-Maffei (German locomotive manufacturer) two-component, rotary-platen machines to mold liquid silicone and Bayer's nylon, polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs. , and PBT PBT Provider Backbone Transport (networking technology adding determinism to ethernet) PBT Polybutylene Terephthalate PBT Profit Before Tax PBT Paper Based Test (education) , plus alloys. |
