| Continuing increases in knowledge of materials provides hope that, as we learn more, we will be able to plasticize, swell, and dissolve wood and wood components and mold them into products that can only he made well from plastics today. Difficult to plasticize compounds undergo gentle prewarming, and blanks can be extruded as well on this machine without difficulties. As we have seen with previous work in TPV polymers, EPDM polymers are difficult to plasticize with esters that are sufficiently compatible to avoid the plasticizer exuding (bleeding) to the surface of the elastomer upon cooling and solidification of the elastomer. |
