Latest Questions

Line bending temperatures

I have conflicting information about the temperatures at which thermoplastics are hot enough to bend. I would like to add a table of temperatures to my line bending animation on http://www.notesandsketches.co.uk/Line_Bending.html and other further information.

Could anyone please give me the correct temperatures at which the following plastics may be bent by line bending: PC, PMMA, PVC, PE,PETG, ABS, PS, HDPE,PP. Would this be the elastic or the plastic temperature?

If possible, please also state what happens to the polymers when they are heated above the bending temperature, i.e. do they melt, melt and form bubbles etc.

I thank you for your help in anticipation.

Best regards,

Recylable and/or recycled polymer needed to make injection molded beach shoes

Hi there,

we are looking to source a recyclable (and ideally already recycled) plastic polymer for a line of injection molded 'jelly shoes' and flip flops. The material must be flexible enough to create a comfortable shoe and must also be impermeable to water. Can anyone recommend such a material? Or if not, can anyone recommend a company that might be able to develop something suitable on our behalf?

Many thanks,

Melissa Franklin
