POP A PILL(OW) INTO YOUR SHOPPING BASKET FOR A GOOD NIGHT’S REST

Most of us have a favourite pillow that we’ve been using for years and years…but the experts tell us that we should actually get a new one every few years. That’s easy for the sleep experts to say – but the man-in-the-street is more likely to lose sleep when faced with the bewildering array of pillows available from bed linen suppliers today.

So how do you find out which pillow is right for you?

A good place to start is to work out what your dominant sleeping position is.  If you’re a tummy sleeper, then a soft and low pillow is best, while a medium feel is good for an average sized person who sleeps mainly on their back.  If you’re a side sleeper, or have a larger build – then a high, firmer pillow is for you 

There are also many different types of pillows, including latex, wool, cotton, down or feathers or synthetic ones – and each has its own set of characteristics.   Wool pillows are durable and healthy and good for allergy sufferers, as are latex ones which are also the firmest type of pillow which hold their shape very well.  Cotton ones are also hypoallergenic but are much softer – as are down or feather ones, but be careful to check the quality of these as cheaper ones may have sharp ends on the feathers which can prick into the skin. The cheapest pillow is dacron – which doesn’t have much ventilation or airflow and isn’t a very comfortable option. 

If you suffer from neck pain or other muscular discomfort, it’s also possible to get a therapeutic pillow from the bedding supplier.

We all know how frustrating it is when we can’t get to sleep or we have a broken night’s sleep because we simply can’t get comfortable – and seeing as we spend around 30% of our lives asleep (or trying to sleep!), it’s important that we have the right bedding.  It’s definitely not a case of ‘one-size-fits-all’ however, so shop around when you’re upgrading your bedding to make sure it’s comfortable.

Mould Sticking, Fouling and Cleaning $144 A large number of objects produced from polymers are moulded. One of the main problems of moulding with polymers is the fact that the articles produced often stick in the mould. An associated problem is that of mould fouling where deposits from previous items stick to the surface of the mould and these in turn cause blemishes on the next product. Mould release and mould fouling have serious implications to the polymer industry in terms of limiting the production rate and in an industry where ‘time is money’ this can represent a significant cost to that industry. This review first discusses mould release and then addresses mould fouling. Significant material and process variables are considered first and then practical guidance on the selection of release agents and surface treatments are addressed. This is followed by advice on mould cleaning and the assessment of mould sticking and mould fouling. This review report should be of interest to anyone involved in the moulding of polymers and to anyone who is about to take their first steps into this area. The review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts compiled from the Polymer Library, to facilitate further reading on this subject.

In-Mould Decoration of Plastics $144 Many plastic components need to have a surface finish applied before use. This can act as a decorative layer, a protective layer, to smooth out surface defects, or to alter surface properties (for example, to enhance adhesion). If this surface effect is applied during the moulding process, it can reduce time, space, material and machinery requirements. It also allows processors to supply complete systems, rather than just moulded components. In-mould decoration techniques include the in-mould application of film, in-mould priming, in-mould labelling and the injection of paints into the mould. In-mould decoration generally requires additional equipment, which can be expensive. Design is also critical for success. These factors need to be taken into consideration in corporate planning. In-mould films are prepared by multi-layer extrusion or solvent casting. They can be single colour or highly patterned with detailed graphics. They are stretched across a mould prior to injection, compression or blow moulding to produce a variety of decorative effects. This technique allows for great design flexibility and permits increased customer personalisation of products such as cars and mobile phones. Changing design between moulds is as simple as changing a roll of film. Film preparation is also discussed in this review. Coatings comprising thermoplastic, pseudo-thermoplastic and uncured thermosetting materials can be injected or extruded into a mould. Here they act as paints in compression injection moulding and co-injection moulding. An additional benefit is that in-mould painting can reduce the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere, which is a common problem in paint shops. In-mould labelling can eliminate the requirement for adhesive. In the first example of this practice, paper labels for ice cream container lids were inserted into the mould prior to injection. Labels can also be applied as film and made from the same plastic material as the component to facilitate bonding and create a continuous surface effect, i.e., the label becomes an integral part of the product. These techniques have widespread use in the plastics industry and the marketplace is expanding. The car and mobile phone industries, packaging and toys are examples of key areas for growth. Many new developments are taking place in this field. The indexed summaries of papers from the Polymer Library that are included with this review include a number of key patents. This reference section also provides a good indicator of the key companies involved in this area and the current applications of this technology. The emphasis of this review is on practical applications of the techniques of in-mould decoration including advantages and disadvantages. This book provides an excellent source of information about a developing area of moulding, which will allow processors to add value to products and compete in the marketplace.

Mould Design Guide $270 This book provides design engineers, toolmakers, moulding technicians and production engineers with an in depth guide to the design and manufacture of mould tools that work successfully in production. It highlights the necessity to design a mould tool that allows overall production to make an acceptable profit, and whilst it is recognised that not all design engineers will be able to influence the profitability factor it is an important aspect to consider.The guide focuses on designs that will produce the required production rate and quality of mouldings in a consistent and reliable fashion; the key components of a successful mould tool. The introductory chapters outline the injection moulding process, basic moulding parameters and overall machine construction. Dedicated chapters give a full account of all the variables that should be taken into account.All the major types of mould tools are covered in the text including two plate, three plate, split, side core, stack and hot runner. Also, some less frequently used designs are discussed including multi plate and rotary side core moulds. Additionally, there are chapters devoted to stress analysis and fatigue. There are many data tables, design examples and a gallery of full mould designs included so that useful information may be referenced quickly. A glossary of injection moulding terms gives a full explanation of the required terminology.
