Melting Polymers | Reshaping Polymers

In all the below mentioned machines and processes, the raw material is by and large is in granules or resin form which is transformed into the required shapes by various proceses. Primarily the basic difference is that in thermoplastis processes the material is recyclable but in thermoset processes, the materials are NOT recyclable. Using recycled materials degrades the strength and other requisite parameters of the product.
