A method of recycling a mixed plastic waste comprising plastics having different melting temperatures includes conveying the mixed plastic waste through an extruder such that at least some of the higher melting point plastic is passes through the extruder without melting and is present in the extrudate as solid material.

Described herein are physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structures that includes a foam layer comprising polypropylene, polyethylene, or a combination of polypropylene and polyethylene and a polyamide cap layer. The multilayer foam structure can be obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam composition layer and at least one cap composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

Methods of manufacturing and fixtures for manufacturing containers, particularly for holding cosmetic products, using thin-walled tubes. One end of a container may be formed using an integral process, such as insert molding, while the other end of the container is formed using assembly steps, such as welding, to form a completed cosmetics container from a thin-walled tube.

This disclosure relates generally to corrugated pipe, and more particularly to corrugated pipe with an outer wrap. In one embodiment, a pipe includes an axially extended bore defined by a corrugated outer wall having axially adjacent, outwardly-extending corrugation crests, separated by corrugation valleys. The pipe also includes an outer wrap applied to the outer wall. The outer wrap may include fibers and plastic. The outer wrap may span the corrugation crests producing a smooth outer surface.

An inventive transfer roller (1) is made of a foam formed from an electrically conductive rubber composition containing an electrically conductive rubber, a crosslinking component, and a foaming agent including OBSH and 0.25 to 2.5 parts by mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate based on 1 part by mass of OBSH, and has an Asker-C hardness of not lower than 25 degrees and not higher than 35 degrees and an average foam cell diameter of not greater than 120 μm. Therefore, the transfer roller is flexible with a lower rubber hardness, and has smaller foam cell diameters. An inventive production method includes the steps of: forming the electrically conductive rubber composition into a tubular body; and maintaining the tubular body at a temperature of not lower than 120° C. and not higher than 140° C. to foam the rubber by a single-stage foaming process.

An extruder and molding assembly comprising an extruder positioned upstream from a mold, the mold having a mold cavity and a separate pressurization member fluidly connected to the mold cavity wherein the extruder is operable at a first pressure to fill at least a majority of the mold cavity and the pressurization member is operable to fill a remainder of the mold cavity.

A method of forming a retaining device with hooks, wherein: a molding strip is provided that presents an inside face and an outside face, and that has a plurality of cavities, each cavity defining a stem extending from the outside face towards the inside face and including an end forming a head that extends from the stem towards the inside face of the molding strip; the molding strip is positioned on rotary drive means, the inside face of the molding strip being arranged to bear against the drive means; and molding material is dispensed against the outside face of the molding strip.

The invention relates to compositions, molding materials producible from the compositions, and to articles of manufacture in turn based on the molding materials, wherein the compositions comprise polyalkylene terephthalate or polyalkylene furanoate, at least one filler or reinforcer, and at least one secondary alkanesulfonate having two alkyl radicals.

The invention relates to polymer compositions, moulding compositions produced therefrom, and to products which are in turn based on the moulding compositions, where the polymer compositions include polybutylene terephthalate and/or polyalkylene furanoate, polycarbonate, and at least one secondary alkanesulphonate.

The invention relates to a ringed tubular sheath which comprises a longitudinal strip which can be easily detached by a user, in particular manually. More specifically, the invention relates to a ringed tubular sheath comprising a sheath body (1) and a longitudinal strip (6) which are made of materials that substantially do not adhere to one another, the longitudinal strip (6) comprising, on each of its longitudinal sides, an upper projection (2, 8) and a lower projection (3, 9), between which a respective longitudinal edge (5, 7) of the sheath body (1) is fitted, this sheath being distinctive in that the longitudinal strip (6) is substantially in the shape of an arc of a ringed tube. The invention also relates to a manufacturing method and to the use of such a sheath.
