We wanted to make it easier for our customers to create durable piping systems by developing a plastic flapper valve that could be easily fused onto polyethylene (PE) pipe. High performance = customer satisfaction: The PolyChek valve gives API’s customers the ability to create all-plastic piping systems that eliminate leakage and weak spots

Our diverse range of advanced polymers and long fiber reinforced composites gives you the freedom to innovate, create high-strength components that eliminate unnecessary weight, and unleash fresh designs that offer superior performance while remaining economically viable to produce. With the numerous benefits, including extreme performance, high impact resistance, high strength, UV performance, and more, designers can create components that meet their unique requirements while also contributing to a more sustainable future.

Both legislation and industry goals have created an increased demand for recycled material across the plastics industry, but especially within the packaging market. These defects can create further processing issues later on which can slow down production, interfere with end- product quality, or cause issues with consumers and brand image.

The injection pressure presses the melt against the comparatively cold wall of the mold, creating the typical foam structure, which includes solid skin and cellular core. PHASE 3: COOLING AND DISMANTLING During the cooling process, a final low-density, integral foam cell microstructure is created. Compared to conventional thermoplastic foam injection molding (TFIM) without mold expansion, CBE creates a lower-density foam with an increased stiffness-to-weight ratio.
