PELLETIZING THERMOPLASTICS, CHRIS CASEAND
REACTION INJECTION MOLDING (RIM) TECHNOLOGY, PAUL STECK
Pelletizing Thermoplastics: A Review of Available Optionsby Chris Caseso once you have produced a perfect compound in your extruder, what’snext? in almost every scenario, the compounded product will need to bein a pellet form. that is a decision that should not be taken casually. eventhe best of compounds that are delivered to a customer with tails, poorcuts and fines in the gaylord will be questionable as to the quality. thisdiscussion will look at not only what criteria to evaluate when choosing amethod of pelletization, but also the application of the process window toensure a perfect final product.
BIography:Chris Case earned a BSME from Western New England College prior tostarting his career as a design engineer with Albany International. He hasheld engineering, product management and project management positionswith Georg Fischer Plant Engineering and the Conair Group. Chris is cur-rently VP Market Development at RE Scheer. He has been a guest lecturerat the University of Wisconsin, University of Akron, Umass Lowell as wellas several SPE Minitech conferences. He holds several patents on polymerproducts and processing and has authored over a dozen technical paperson polymer related subjects as well as chapters in several textbooks andThe SPE Guide on Extrusion Technology and Troubleshooting.
Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) Technologyby Paul SteckReaction injection Molding is a high quality plastic process created byBayer in the late 1960’s. While enjoying widespread popularity in europe,RiM remains a highly specialized method in the u.s. with somewhat ex-clusive use. this presentation will describe the process and explore somebenefits of molding distinctive parts using RiM for different applications.

SECTION NEWS
THANK YOU, LEISTRITZMany thanks to Leistritz for hosting a tour of their facility for ouroctober meeting (and for the hats!). see the Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/PalisadessectionsPe for photos!Leistritz is offering a twin screw Workshop on dec. 2 and 3.see http://www.alec-usa.com/tsrpt011-15.htm for details.the program includes technical presentations by Leistritz staffand outside industry experts. hands-on demos. screw de-sign, scale-up, maintenance and assembly. hands-on twinscrew extrusion demos. also included on the link are articleson screw cleaning, disassembly, reassembly and recom-mended tools with some technical tips that will hopefully helpyour operation.
in other news, Leistritz recently introduced the Zse-27 MaXX“direct to sheet” system, which facilitates rapid in-line com-pounding and production of prototype sheet samples. Benefitsof direct sheet extrusion include the product having one-lessheat/shear history, and economic savings inherent with bypass-ing the pelletization step.
CONGRATULATIONS TO
THE LEHIGH SPE SECTIONcongratulations to one of our neighboring sections, which re-cently marked its 30th anniversary! check out their Facebookpage: https://www.facebook.com/LehighvalleysocietyofPlas-ticengineers . all Palisades-new Jersey members are invitedto attend the Lehigh section events, which will include a ses-sion on 3d printing in april.

President’s Message
in my comments for october, istated what everyone who livesin the Palisades area alreadyknows: there are far fewer com-panies involved in plastics in thearea now than there used to beand corporate america no longerbelieves that science and tech-nology will solve all our problems.
the emphasis has shifted from R&d to applications andprocess optimization. that doesn’t mean there are no op-portunities for plastics professionals. in fact, in the currentissue of Plastics engineering, glenn anderson, senior vPof cincinnati Milacron, is quoted as saying they can’t findenough mechanical and electrical engineers to fill open po-sitions. Plastics are still a vibrant and growing sector ofamerican industry. how does the Palisades section play arole in the current environment that meets the traditional ob-jectives of sPe – Palisades? as a reminder, these are:
E the Promotion of engineering and scientific Knowledge Relating to Plastics
E educate the Membership E Promote Relationships with other Plastics
Professionals E have fun.
one tactic to ensure the future is to involve students whomay become plastics professionals and join sPe. the Pal-isades section sponsors student chapters at Rutgers andat stevens. one of our Board of directors members is agraduate student at Rutgers and a recent officer was a pastpresident of the Rutgers chapter. the contact with studentshas been made. the challenge is to make sPe attractive tothe student membership at the same time as to the estab-lished members. We plan to devote the March meeting,which will be held at Rutgers, to presentations on how touse Linked-in to find a job and how to craft the presentationof oneself to prospective employers. We expect these talksto be useful to the entire membership but especially so tostudents.
another tactic for the future is possible cooperation withother sections in the area. For Palisades, that meansPhiladelphia and Lehigh valley. there has been cross atten-dance at the most recent meetings on both sides withLehigh valley and we’re finding common interests. some ofour members will attend the Philadelphia section net-working event in november to explore possibilities in thatdirection.
another tactic we’re considering is meetings that depart fromthe standard lecture format. in our most recent meeting, thePalisades section toured the plant of Leistritz, a manufacturerof extruders. attendance was unusually high and includednearly 20 students from Rutgers and stevens and well as at-tendees from the Lehigh valley section.
it should be clear that the Palisades section is open to new ap-proaches that cater to the interests of the membership, as out-lined above, but we’re happy to use old approaches if that’swhat’s wanted. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] with any ideas or suggestions.

COUNCILOR’S REPORTTom Martin
after opening remarks forcouncil i, President cameronhonored dr. david Riley for hiscommitment and many yearsof service to sPe. he then ad-vised that several aggressivenew programs being devel-oped, as well as plans to de-
velop special interest groups, are taxing the limitedfull-time hQ staff of 12 people. therefore, plans are inplace to add a sales Manager and operations Managerto relieve the burden on Russell Broome and Wim devos due to their heavy travel schedules. hQ is also looking intothe addition of a Web strategy Manager to oversee themany existing and developing facets of our new website.
though we saw a slight drop last year, total membershipis now showing a slight increase, primarily due to the ad-dition of “e-membership.” though this has not gener-ated additional income from dues, increases inadvertising revenue are starting to show promise. thereare also several other additions that are expected togenerate significant advertising revenues, such as newspecialized conferences, like “cyclitech” 8-9 decemberin Brussels, Belgium (the first international conferenceon bicycle technology). additionally, the following threenew services/benefits are being introduced:e-touches:a new sPe conference management system which includeson-line registration, sponsor & exhibit management, con-ference app, website & e-mail marketing system, etc.video tutorials:a partnership with specialchem to introduce their“Learning on demand,” an online service that will pro-vide access to over 150 recorded presentations and tu-torials via sPe membership, as well as plans to producea series of new tutorials.“Plastics insight”:a customizable industry newsletter. Further details to follow.these new additions are expected to generate more rev-enue for the society, primarily through advertising. de-tails on these and other new programs are availablethrough the sPe website (www.4sPe.org).
after the conclusion of council i, we covered section anddivision business during the ccoW (council committeeof the Whole) meeting. the Following sections havemoved to provisional status: gulf coast central, Portugal,hong Kong, taiwan, caribbean, central texas and Miamivalley. the electrical/electronic division has also movedto provisional status. central Florida, south Florida andarkansas moved to abandoned. new sections in forma-tion are asean and Middle east. new student chaptersare the university of toledo and nanyang technologyuniversity. the remainder of the ccoW involved break-out sessions to discuss the future of antec®s & sigsand proposals for governance reform.
the reminder of the ccoW covered a status update ongovernance task Force (gtF) committee efforts to de-velop a new governing Body (gB) that would be sup-ported by council. the current recommendation calls fora 10 member gB plus the chief staff executive thatwould be elected (based on position) by council or theentire sPe membership. this gB would be comprised ofPresident, President-elect and Past President, each serv-ing 1-year terms, as well as a vP of sections, divisions,young Professionals, Finance, events, Marketing and ed-ucation, each serving a 2-year term. it is proposed thatthis gB will meet monthly to provide direction and over-sight of all society governance matters, but that councilwill retain the option to overturn any gB decisions. Furtherrefinement of this plan will be covered at antec®2016.
the council ii Meeting covered several presentations onthe results of antec®2015 in orlando and several newplans and programs being developed and aimed at grow-ing the support for and advantages of sPe membership.though antec®2015 showed a profit for sPe of$180,000, there was some discussion about changingthe format and timing during years when it is held in con-junction with the nPe to improve attendance while ac-commodating those who might choose nPe attendanceover antec®. this will be an ongoing topic for futurecouncil meetings.

RUTGERS STUDENT CHAPTER NEWS, BY JAMIE WOODING
in october, we held a successful halloween-themed “creepycrawler” forming event, molding bugs and bats while eatingcookies and brownies. By the end of the event, we had gar-nered a huge amount of interest in the october 29th LeistritzPlant tour. 13 members from the Rutgers sPe chapter at-tended the plant tour and dinner. sPe member ed han said, “It was a wonderful experience to attend the Leistritz Plant Tour alongwith the Palisades Professional Chapter. Not only was it very helpfulto see what it would be like working in that sort of industry, but it wasalso a great opportunity to talk with the Palisades members. I felt agreat sense of unity between the Rutgers Chapter, the StevensChapter, and the Palisades Chapter.” sPe member ojaswi agar-wal also enjoyed the plant tour, adding, “I really enjoyed theLeistritz facilities. The interchangeable nature and versatility of the ex-trusion systems was incredibly impressive. Furthermore, the peoplewere wonderful—very knowledgeable and very funny. It was also aprivilege getting to have dinner with Mark Lavach at Nik’s Wunderbar.Mark answered all of our questions on graduate school and findingjobs after school, and the food was great!” overall, it was a greatevening and all participating students were very grateful for theopportunity and experience.
Len czuba’s report on student activities at antec® 2015was very encouraging. though fund raising for this pro-gram dropped from 2013 to 2014, this year’s effortsraised $37,050, exceeding last year’s total by nearly$10,000. this success resulted in travel awards for 75domestic and 36 international students. though the totalnumber of students was down, international participationdoubled that of antec® 2014.
Russell Broome conducted a survey on financial supportof sections & divisions whose details can be found on thesPe website. in his summary presentation, the surveyshows the Palisades–new Jersey section is in the top fivefor lifetime support for student education. We were also advised of the society’s plan to implement“electronic elections” as a module of the new “e-touch”
program that will eliminate the time consuming processof elections during council meetings with a goal of com-pleting elections 30 days prior to antec®, when thechange in sPe officers will be implemented.
the following changes in “By-Laws and Policies” changeswere made to allow electronic voting of officers, the optionto provide a video of their platform by candidates, addthe e-member category, to not include e-member/stu-dent/honorary membership numbers from rebate deter-mination and to change the senior position at hQ to“chief staff executive.” again, further details on all topicscovered can be found in “the chain” or the sPe website.since the next formal meeting is not until antec® in May2016, a “virtual” council Meeting is planned for FridayFebruary 5, 2016.
Continued from page 3
Working with the society of Women engineers (sWe) in a com-munity outreach initiative, the Rutgers sPe chapter hostedboth an injection molding demonstration and an extrusiondemonstration on november 7th. over 40 girl scouts, grades4-8, witnessed each of the demonstrations, learning about theimportance of polymer forming systems and the relevance ofpolymers and polymer composites in today’s world. Many ofthe girls were engaged and excited to ask questions to our sPemembers about recycling and the sustainability of polymer sys-tems. hopefully some of these girls were inspired to think aboutengineering!
on november 16th, we will be hosting dr. stephanie Lee, ahighly accomplished assistant professor at stevens institute oftechnology in the department of chemical engineering andMaterials science. dr. Lee will be discussing her experience asa chemical engineering Ph.d. student and her personal journeyto finding her calling as a chemical engineering professor. shewill be giving a talk, as well as participating in a mixer with ourstudents. We look forward to having an event geared more sotoward graduate school to complement last month’s industry-focused plant tour.
Finally, as our members have been officially registering for theirnational sPe Membership, we have been distributing our 2015-2016 sPe t-shirts, increasing visibility and chapter pride!

section member sal Monte, President of Kenrich Petrochemi-cals, inc., presented “new titanium-Mixed Metal catalyst ForMulti-Polymer compatibilization and Post consumer Recycle(Pcr)” at sPi’s summit in october. an abstract of the presenta-tion follows:
conventional polymer compatibilization and recycled plastic artcenters around equipment that sorts, cleans, demagnetizes,washes, granulates, bales or melt processes recycle – or poly-mer compatibilizers based on maleic anhydride chemistry – orbipolar thermoplastics that have affinity for two select recyclepolymer streams. a new titanium-mixed metal catalystmethodology will be shown to create in the compounding meltnot alloys, but new complex co-polymers having much highermechanical properties, which portends the achievement of highloadings of PcR in virgin polymers to meet sustainability man-dates in consumer plastic packaging products.
it will be shown that 1.5% by total polymer weight of a new sin-gle site titanium/mixed metal catalyst masterbatch in 40% ac-tive pellet (and 0.75% in 80% active powder form) producescompatible PcR plastic mixtures in the extruder melt – and actsas a compatibilizer between dissimilar polymers. For example,although PP and hdPe are both considered olefins, hdPe can-not accept more than 5% PP without creating incompatibilityissues such as delamination during injection molding. in con-tradistinction, use of minor amounts of subject additives allow50/50 blends of hdPe/PP to mold better and give stronger
parts than hdPe alone. similarly, 50% rubber crumb can beadded to PP to make useful automotive bed mats. injectionmolded parts made of hiPs (sBs modified gPs) will be shownto have greater frictional wear resistance than parts usingstearates, PtFe, waxes and other anti-friction additives.
When a third polymer such as Pet is added to the mixsuch as what occurs in PcR, things can get complicated be-cause maleic anhydride based compatibilizers depolymerizecondensation polymers such as esters. however, titaniumbased catalysts are well known catalysts for production of poly-esters (Pet, PBt), polyamides (nylon), polycarbonates, etc.subject new catalyst will be shown to compatibilize PP/Pet/Peblends (see seM’s below).
a discussion of Metallocene and Ziegler-natta catalysis willlead to outlining the six Functions of the titanate Molecule.applications Methodology will show the additive pellet can beused just like a color concentrate, but must be melt com-pounded at ~10% lower temperatures than normal to createreactive compounding shear because the catalyst reduces meltviscosity. data will show the lower temperature is necessary toimpart the optimal Work energy (quantified as the area underthe plot of torque vs. time) at the interface of the dissimilarmacromolecules to optimize the 1.5-nanometer catalyst’s com-plete reaction.
