Melting and Mixing Capabilities An extruder is a vessel for continuous processing of
polymer and other materials where fusion of all ingredients
can occur that may be accompanied by a chemical reaction
or volatile extraction. The various ingredients in the
material are forced to interact closely while undergoing
size reduction (dispersion) to create a homogeneous mass
as a result of weak adhesive bonds. GEOMETRY Unraveled Radial and lateral shear are not experienced uniformly by every macro-molecule or particle
in the mix leading to the most common difficulty in plastics processing.Improvements in the
working of the extruder always lead to creating circumstances for uniformity in the radial
and lateral shear rates,extensional flow patterns and frequent re-orientation. Contributing to materials development that is sustainable and environment friendly is SCS’ vision The people of any land would like to have harmony in their midst and enjoy a well-developed quality of life. To realize the Vision 2020 for India, a vision put forth by our former President Dr. Abdul Kalam, a number of us have to dedicate ourselves to various missions. SCS has a mission to contribute to sustainable materials development, specifically carbon- based materials, in this land. Interview of Dr. Babu Padmanabhan with Mr. Sandeep Nadkarni of Modern Plastic Polymers during the month of Oct-07 It is unavoidable for India to increase its per capita consumption of plastics from the current levels to about 12 kg by 2010. This means a growth of more than 200 per cent, which would benefit the automotive, electronics, appliance and packaging sector. Driving the future of compounding Here is an organization where constant innovation and ceaseless hard-work have enabled it to carve out a prominent position, globally, for the quality and precision of its products. Polymer Compounding Accepting new challenges Combining a base plastic resin with colours, modifiers, additive, reinforcements, fillers or other polymers is being carried out in over 3,000 plants at a global level.
