Important Considerations for Plastic Compound

Plastic compound is a versatile material that is widely used in various industries for manufacturing products. However, several important considerations need to be taken into account when working with plastic compounds to ensure the quality and performance of the final product. First and foremost, it is crucial to carefully select the right type of plastic compound for the intended application. Different types of plastic compounds have varying properties such as strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and chemical resistance. Therefore, it is important to understand the specific requirements of the product and choose a plastic compound that best meets those requirements. Another important consideration is the processing conditions of the plastic compound. The temperature, pressure, and processing time can all affect the properties of the final product. It is essential to follow the recommended processing guidelines provided by the manufacturer to ensure the plastic compound is processed correctly and consistently. Furthermore, proper storage and handling of the plastic compound are essential to prevent contamination and degradation. Plastic compounds should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals that could react with the material. Additionally, the material should be handled with care to avoid introducing impurities that could affect the quality of the final product. Quality control is also a critical aspect of working with plastic compounds. Regular testing and inspection should be conducted to ensure the material meets the required specifications and standards. Any deviations from the quality standards should be addressed promptly to prevent defects in the final product. In conclusion, working with plastic compounds requires careful consideration of several factors including material selection, processing conditions, storage, handling, and quality control. By paying attention to these important considerations, manufacturers can produce high-quality products that meet the desired performance and durability requirements. Our brand Kerke focuses on compounding extruders with over 14 years of experience, so we can find the best solution here.

The solution for the compound application

PVC Compound

PVC compounds are based on the combination of the PVC polymer RESIN and additives that give the formulation necessary for the end-usage (Pipes or Rigid Profiles or Flexible Profiles or Sheets). The compound is formed by intimately mixing together the ingredients, which is subsequently converted into the “gelled” article under the influence of heat and shear force.

Cable Compound

The cable compound is a material, usually petroleum-based, used to fill an electrical cable to limit intrusion from water and to provide extra insulation. Numerous types of cable including electrical and phone lines can be filled with cable compounds by manufacturers and installers to protect the integrity of the line.

Engineering Plastic

“Engineering plastic” means “engineering plastic” and is a high-performance synthetic resin with high durability and heat resistance. Among them, those with particularly high performance are called “super engineering plastics” and are used for industrial parts that require high functions, like PA+Glass fiber, PEEK, etc.

Thermoplastic Compound

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a diverse family of rubber-like materials that, unlike conventional vulcanized rubbers, can be processed and recycled like thermoplastic materials. Even though TPEs are thermoplastic, they exhibit elasticity similar to that of a cross-linked rubber.

Wood Plastic Compound

Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are composite materials made of wood fiber/wood flour and thermoplastic(s) such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polylactic acid (PLA). In addition to wood fiber and plastic, WPCs can also contain other lignocellulosic and/or inorganic filler materials.
