How to Reduce Odors During Plastic Processing

I believe it goes without saying that plastic products emit unpleasant gases during processing, which can have an impact on the body. In order to overcome this problem and make consumers satisfied, happy, and reassured, manufacturers of injection molding processes have spent a long time reducing the concentration of unpleasant odors emitted during production. The editor has made the following explanation regarding this issue:

1. Pour in adsorbent

Adding a small amount of zeolite (an aluminosilicate adsorbent) to the polymer can effectively remove odors during the processing of plastic products Zeolite has many crystalline voids that can capture small gas molecules with odors Molecular adsorbents have been successfully applied in polyolefin extrusion pipes, injection and extrusion blow molded containers, isolation packaging materials, extruded outer packaging materials, and sealing polymers Molecular adsorption powder can also be used as a moisture absorber in injection molding processes to remove water vapor, which can also help eliminate odors in plastic products.

If you choose a resin that is already odorless, it can also have a good effect For example, a plastic processing plant has developed a new grade of ethylene glycol copolymer, which releases a very trace odor during injection processing

2. Choose purer resins

In many plastic products, especially those with few compound components such as styrene and acrylic ester, some monomers may remain during the injection molding process, causing the production of unpleasant odors. So, how can we eliminate the odor? We can choose purer resins, which can effectively reduce the concentration of unpleasant odors. It can even be eliminated.

The editor has summarized two methods to reduce unpleasant gases during the processing of plastic products, hoping that these two methods can greatly eliminate odors in factories and provide workers with a healthy, comfortable, and hygienic working environment.
