What are the steps of extrusion moulding?
The process of Injection Moulding Cycle has the following 4 stages:- 1. Clamping- The multiple parts of the mould are securely clamped. 2. Injection- The raw plastic material, usually in the form of pellets, is fed into the machine. During this process, the pellets are melted by heat and pressure. The molten plastic is then injected into the mould by injection unit very quickly and the build-up of pressure packs and holds the material. 3. Cooling- The molten plastic that is inside the mould begins to cool as soon as it makes contact with the interior mould surfaces. As the plastic cools, it will solidify into the shape of the desired part. However, during cooling some shrinkage of the part may occur. The packing of material in the injection stage allows additional material to flow into the mould and reduce the amount of visible shrinkage. The mould can not be opened until the required cooling time has elapsed. 4. Ejection- After sufficient time has passed, the cooled part may be ejected from the mould. When the mould is opened, a mechanism is used to push the part out of the mould. Force must be applied to eject the part because during cooling the part shrinks and adheres to the mould.
Why is thermosetting plastic used to make the casing of a laptop?
i am a GCSE student in Southport and in chemistry i am learning all about plastic's. "Thermosetting" plastic is used because once it is heated and moulded into a shape it can not be reheated and moulded again. However "thermoplastic" plastics can. The particular use of your laptop casing does not require and reshaping or remoulding so to give the laptop most stability and strength the "thermosetting" plastic is used as they are stronger.

Why are thermo plastic and thermosetting plastic different?
Thermoplastics plastics can be heated and then moulded into a shape or form, but thermosetting cannot. Each plastic can be moulded into a 'shape or form', it is just that thermoplastics, once they have been moulded, they can be re-heated and moulded again, where-as once thermosetting plastics have been moulded, if re-heated and you try to remould it, it will just make it brittle and snap instead.
What is TPE plastic?
TPE stands for Thermo Plastic Elastomer. It is a range of polymers (plastics) that can be processed (moulded or extruded) like a plastic when over their melt temperature, but exhibit properties of thermoset rubber. the advantage to using TPE over thermoset rubber, is that it can be easily re-moulded and re-worked whereas rubber cannot. TPE can be soft, stretchy, and flexible, or hard and rigid depending on the mixture of crystalline and amorphous polymers used.
