Liquid plastic ?

17/10/2015 at 23:40

Hi!

I would like to know if we can transform plastic regrind into liquid plastic to drop it on wood or concrete mold to create object ? Because extrusion is expensive because of the cost of the metal mold.

Thank you,

Olivier

SHouldn’t be a problem. However you will probably need to go above the plastic melting temperature. Which is usually something you want to avoid. But I think you could also deliver enough pressure on molten plastic to form it, without breaking the concrete.

Sorry, but you can’t

the chemical structure of plastic avoid to turn it on a liquid. if the plastic becomes liquid, it had broken its structure and it will become weaker. Once these connections have been broken, you can not join them.

You need to buy pigments.
