KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY Two roll mill: The process of mixing is carried out between two contrary rotors. The wicks of both rotors are arranged in parallel manner and posses different speeds. Due to the difference in tangential speed and nip constriction, rubber compound experiences displacement and pressure energy during the process of mixing. Pressure energy increases the displacement energy, and displacement energy will break the rubber molecule bonding. The breakage of rubber molecules allow carbon and other chemicals to be uniformly mixed with rubber. M.Aruna, K.Abinaya Saraswathi, B.Sasirekha, V.Varna

KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY Transfer Molding Procedure: The mold is removed from the press and opened. A precut "slug" of unvulcanized rubber, at a set weight, is placed into the transfer "pot " The loaded mold is then placed back into the press and the press is then closed. The pressure forcing the plates together distributes (transfers) the precut "slug " of unvulcanized rubber in the "pot" down through the "spruces" and into the cavities. The unvulcanized rubber is then forced into the shape of the cavity in the mold. The mold remains closed until the rubber is vulcanized, completing the cycle. M.Aruna, K.Abinaya Saraswathi, B.Sasirekha, V.Varna

KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY Specifications: Temperature: 165 to 175°C Clamping pressure: 1500 to 1800psi Curing time: 2 to 2min 20s Slug weight: 93-95g M.Aruna, K.Abinaya Saraswathi, B.Sasirekha, V.Varna

Compression Moulding Procedure:
KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY Compression Moulding Procedure: Heat press and empty the mould. Load mould with sufficient quantity of pre mixed rubber compound to ensure complete fill of cavity. Drop top platen until it touches the pre-form. Heat filled mould with no pressure on press for 1 to 2 minutes (up to 5 minutes for thicker parts). Bring press to full pressure and hold for at least 1 minute and cool at full pressure before releasing pressure. Remove from press and release the products.

KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER MOULDING COMPRESSION MOULDING High product consistency Cycle time is lesser in mass production High setup and process cost Material wastage due to flash is low Suited for large scale industries Mould tends to be complex Better product consistency Cycle time is higher for mass production Low setup and process cost Material wastage due to flash is high Suited for small scale industries Mould tends to be simple M.Aruna, K.Abinaya Saraswathi, B.Sasirekha, V.Varna

KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY TESTING Hardness: (ASTM D 2240) This test method is based on the penetration of a specific type of indentor when forced into the material under specified conditions. The indentation hardness is inversely related to the penetration and is dependent on the elastic modulus and viscoelastic behavior of the material. The geometry of the indentor and the applied force influence the measurements for hardness. M.Aruna, K.Abinaya Saraswathi, B.Sasirekha, V.Varna

KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY Tensile testing: (ASTM D 412) It is carried out to determine the tensile strength, percent elongation of rubber when subjected to tension. Dumbbell specimen of the prescribed dimension is taken The specimen is placed between the grips and tension speed is applied and the specimen starts to elongate until it breaks or ruptures. Tensile strength = Force/Cross-sectional area (Final length-Initial length) Elongation at break= X 100 Initial length M.Aruna, K.Abinaya Saraswathi, B.Sasirekha, V.Varna

KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY Abrasion Resistance: (DIN 53516) The abrasion resistance is measured by moving a test piece across the surface of an abrasive sheet mounted to a revolving drum. It is expressed as volume loss in cubic millimetres or abrasion resistance index in percent. For volume loss, a smaller number indicates better abrasion resistance. M.Aruna, K.Abinaya Saraswathi, B.Sasirekha, V.Varna

KAMARAJ COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF POLYMER TECHNOLOGY Rebound resilience: (ASTM D 1054) This test method covers a means of determining the resilience of rubber, within a range of impact strain and strain rate, by means of the impacting.
