Agitation and mixing solutions for polymer / plastics - Plastics & Resins
The key to understanding the production process of synthetic plastic, rubber, or fiber lies in the four principle methods commercially used in polymer production. All polymers and copolymers are made by either the use of one or a combination of methods. These methods are bulk, solution, suspension, and emulsion.
