Linde LLC will introduce PLASTINUM® Foam Injection Moulding at the 2018 National Plastics Exposition (NPE) from the 7th-11th May in Orlando, Florida.
PLASTINUM Foam Injection Moulding is a less expensive, more flexible process for light-weighting moulded plastic parts than currently available foaming processes. The physical foaming process is particularly suitable for automotive, white-goods, and medical parts manufacturers who are using conventional injection moulding machines and are looking for an alternative to existing chemical and physical foaming processes.
In the PLASTINUM Foam Injection Moulding process, plastic pellets are impregnated with carbon dioxide (CO2) in Linde’s revolutionary new equipment prior to the injection moulding machine. This system allows for physical foaming in conventional injection moulding machines without retrofitting for foam and adding more expensive and larger equipment, thus reducing equipment and raw material costs.
