Plastics Processing Problems

04/13/2006 5:27 PM

What an awesome resource and I'm very grateful that you shared the link. Every plastic behaves differently when processed (every batch does but that's another matter!) and having a resource to help review generally accepted principles for improvement is going to help a LOT of people, improve quality, minimize downtime, etc. I'd like to think that every process industry (papermaking, chemical processing, etc.) could develop a similar tool.
