Time to read: 6 min Draft angle injection molding is about applying an angle or taper to the vertical faces of injection molded parts. Draft is measured in degrees and promotes smoother part ejections, decreased tooling wear, and shorter cooling times. The benefits of proper draft include fewer defects, faster cycles, and lower costs.    Typically, designers apply draft angles of 1.5° to 2° degrees to injection molded parts at mold depths up to 2 inches. Applying a slight taper like this might seem simple enough, but you can’t add the same amount of draft to every part – and minimum and maximum draft angles for injection molding can vary considerably.…

Researchers found that by using a modified nano-SiO2 hybrid medium in combination with a fluorepoxy polymer, a superhydrophobic coating can be created on paper that retains the original properties of the paper. Most of the super hydrophobic paper surfaces prepared at present will change the original properties of the paper and can not be used for oil-water separation continuously. There is not yet much systematic research on super hydrophobic modification of paper-based materials. The use of polymers and inorganic fillers for synergistic modification is also relatively rare. In this paper, fluorine-containing epoxy polymer P(GMA-r-DFMA) and KH550 modified nano-SiO2 were mixed to obtain an organic-inorganic hybrid super hydrophobic solution, which was…

Taurine is a β-amino acid containing a sulfonate instead of a carboxylic group in α-amino acids. It is vital for organ development and aging but not for protein synthesis. Taurine is needed for membrane stabilization, has cytoprotective and cell volume regulation effects, and maintains calcium homeostasis and signalling.  Aquatic feeds for farmed fish and shrimp are mainly made from protein rich ingredients such as fish meal, poultry by-product meal, soybean meal concentrate, yeast protein, pea protein concentrate, corn gluten meal and wheat gluten meal. Historically fish meal has been the protein source of choice and currently there is no alternative to replace fish meal completely. It is probably since most…

Description Doozy Salts Frozen Berries is a mixture of berries and crushed ice, combined together for a cool refreshing vape. Feel the icy chill washed away by a wave of sweet berries. Nic Salts are extracted directly from the natural tobacco leaf versus traditionally being made using a form of artificial nicotine called ‘free base’. Free base nicotine can be quite harsh on the throat and can cause discomfort for some vapers. Nic salts are absorbed to the body far quicker than standard E liquid, so it provides a much quicker hit to keep your nicotine cravings at bay. In addition to this, Nic salts take away that harsh throaty aftertaste as they stay smooth…

In a new study, artificial intelligence approaches are applied to predict the performance of a paper to achieve the maximum colour gamut. The colour gamut of imaging media is significant for the reproduction of colour images because its magnitude directly affects the degree to which colours change during the printing process. Over the last few years, digital impression technology has started to play a substantial role in the printing industry. The colour gamut of electrophotographic digital printing depends on various parameters including the printer and toner, but especially the properties (whiteness, roughness, and gloss) of the paper, which influence the final printed colour gamut and replication quality. In a new…

Our editor Damir Gagro spoke to Sabrina Platzek, VP Automotive OEM Coatings Solutions Asia Pacific about the expansion of the BASF Automotive Coatings Application Center in Mangalore, India. You have Automotive Coatings Application Centers in China, Japan, Thailand and India. What role do those centers play?Sabrina Platzek: A paint formulation is only great when it works smoothly in the customer-applied paint process. Therefore, understanding and optimizing the various paint processes in combination with paint formulation expertise is the foundation of BASF Coatings’ R&D activities. BASF’s Automotive Coatings Application Centers enable us to mimic various coatings processes used in Automotive OEM production globally. Therefore, we employ state-of-the-art equipment and robotics with…

Evonik is working with two new partners to distribute the groups high-performance polymers: Ter Chemicals Distribution Group on the one hand and Biesterfeld Performance Rubber, a business unit of the Biesterfeld Group, on the other. Since October 1, 2022, Ter Chemicals took over the distribution of polyamide 12 powders across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and effective November 1, 2022, Biesterfeld Performance Rubber GmbH handles the distribution of a rubber additive in the EMEA region (except Italy). “Reliable partners” “We are very pleased to have Ter Chemicals and Biesterfeld Performance Rubber as reliable partners who have intact and flexible supply chains, and a strong customer focus for our…

Researchers found that the addition of cardanol-modified Janus nanosheets with Zn2+ to epoxy anti-corrosion coatings significantly improves their mechanical properties and corrosion resistance Defects in the curing process of epoxy coatings tend to deteriorate the anticorrosion performance of the coatings. An important way to enhance the anticorrosion performance of epoxy coatings is to add flaky fillers. In this paper, anisotropic Janus nanosheets (JNs) were prepared and modified by cardanol (CA) and Zn2+. Then, the obtained CA@JNs@Zn2+ Janus composite nanosheets were introduced into epoxy coatings. When the content of CA@JNs@Zn2+ is 0.2 %, the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the coating were effectively improved. Event Tip: Anticorrosive Coatings What principles…
