File Description [top]

RAPRA Polymer Library (formerly known as RAPRA: Rubber and Plastics) is dedicated exclusively to rubbers, plastics, adhesives, and polymeric composites. The database comprises a large collection of carefully produced, extensively indexed summaries covering a wide range of subjects encompassing technical, academic, commercial, and marketing aspects of the rubber and plastics industries.


The file corresponds to the print RAPRA Abstracts; the Adhesives subfile corresponds to the print Adhesives Abstracts. Both are monthly publications. The file also includes the RAPRA Trade Names and RAPRA Address subfiles.



Tips [top]

USE FILE 323

to search all aspects of rubbers, plastics, adhesives, and polymeric composites technology. For comprehensive results use both British and American spelling,

      S INJECTION(W)(MOULDING OR MOLDING)

USE CATEGORY CODES

with corresponding subject terms for most comprehensive results,

      S CC=UK OR RHEOLOGICAL(W)PROPERTIES

USE MAP

to take patent numbers to another file,

      MAP PN TEMP

USE SUBJECT HEADINGS

to narrow a search to a topic (from 1983 forward). EXPAND SH= for a list

      S SH=ACRYLIC POLYMERS
       S SH=STANDARDS
       S SH=THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS

USE CLASSIFICATION CODES

to narrow a search to a topic by hierarchical codes. To search mechanical properties,

      S CL=95?

See http://library.dialog.com/products/aids/ for details.

  /AB   ABSTRACT: A multi-cavity injection moulding machine for three-layer 
         moulding has elongated pins for fixed pin gating or valve gating. Each 
         elongated pin has a central melt bore extending rearwardly from its 
         front end to a number of laterally extending bores. A low viscosity 
         barrier material, such as EVOH or nylon, flows through these bores to 
         the gate leading to the cavity. This allows either coinjection with 
         fixed pins and sprue gating or valve gating.
