Plastics
Technology
Plastics engineering encompasses the processing, design, development,
and manufacture of plastics products. A plastic is a polymeric
material that is in a semi-liquid state, having the property
of plasticity and exhibiting flow. |
| In
plastics engineering, as in most engineering disciplines,
the economics of a product plays an important role. The
cost of plastic materials ranges from the cheapest commodity
plastics used in mass produced consumer products to the
very expensive, so called engineering resins. The cost of
a plastic product is measured in different ways, and the
absolute cost of a plastic material is difficult to ascertain.
Cost is often measured in price per pound of material, or
price per unit volume of material. In many cases however,
it is important for a product to meet certain specifications,
and cost could then be measured in price per unit of a property.
Price with respect to processability is often important,
as some materials need to be processed at very high temperatures,
increasing the amount of cooling time a part needs. In a
large production run cooling time is very expensive.Some
plastics are manufactured from re-cycled materials but their
use in engineering tends to be limited because the consistency
of formulation and their physical properties tend to be
less consistent.
