Enfriamiento en extrusión: cómo calcular carga térmica y capacidad
Jim Frankland | Plastics Technology México
En la extrusión de polímeros, la capacidad de enfriamiento condiciona la producción. Cuando el flujo es laminar, la transferencia de calor se limita y la línea no alcanza su potencial. El cálculo de carga térmica y el uso del número de Reynolds permiten dimensionar la enfriadora y generar turbulencia para optimizar la disipación de calor.
Resinas epóxicas biobasadas: origen renovable, usos y desempeño
| Plastics Technology México
Las resinas epóxicas sustentan recubrimientos, adhesivos y componentes. Sin embargo, la DGEBA, basada en BPA y petróleo, eleva riesgos y huella de carbono. Como respuesta, surgen resinas epóxicas biobasadas a partir de aceites vegetales, cardanol, ferúlico y glicerina, con propiedades y menor toxicidad. Su adopción gradual reduce emisiones y dependencia fósil; el CIQA investiga formulaciones.
