Blow Moulding is a manufacturing process used to produce hollow plastic parts by inflating a heated plastic tube until it takes the shape of a Mould cavity. This method is particularly effective for creating products with consistent wall thickness and complex shapes. Developed in the mid-20th century, blow Moulding has become an integral part of many industries, including automotive, packaging, and agriculture. In agriculture, the process has seen significant advancements and is used for making various products, such as containers for pesticides, irrigation equipment, and even large tanks. This blog will explore the blow Moulding technique, its current practices, applications in agriculture, and future perspectives. Blow Moulding Technique: Process and Variants The blow Moulding process involves several steps: 1. Parison Formation: A plastic tube, called a parison, is extruded. The parison is then pl...
Medical Application of Polylactic Acid Introduction :- Polylactide also know as Poly lactic acid is Polyester. Chemical formula for PLA is (C 3 H 4 O 2 ) n or [-C(CH 3 )HC(=O)O–] n It is synthesized from lactic acid (LA; 2-hydroxypropanoic acid), which a water-soluble monomer. Main property of PLA is its degradation by micro-organism, which make its more special. The use of such biodegradable plastic reduces the environmental impact related to the accumulation of non-biodegradable plastic wastes that are generated from its day-to-day use. PLA has an extensive mechanical property profile and is thermoplastic with high biocompatibility and biodegradability. PLA was discovered in the 1920s by Wallace Corothers the scientist who invented nylon, but it never had been successfully commercialized on a large scale. click here to Know more about Biodegradable Plastic Application of Polytlactic acid These are mostly used in food pack...
