Abstract

Apparatus (2) includes a platform (14) on which is supported, via spaced apart posts (16), a stationary rigid support disc (17). Between the platform (14) and disc (17), plaque holder (18) is rotatably mounted. The plaque holder is arranged to hold a plaque (19) for assessment. The plaque is made by injection moulding from a composition comprising a polymeric material and a specific amount of reheat additive(s) and any other additives(s) to be assessed. The plaque holder is arranged to move the plaque relative to the disc (17). In an input position, the plaque holder (18) is arranged directly underneath opening (20). In a measurement position, which is 90° from the input position, there are provided first and second temperature measuring assemblies (24, 26) arranged to measure the temperature of the top and bottom surfaces of a plaque held in the plaque holder. The plaque holder can be rotated through 90° from the measurement position to a heating position, wherein the plaque is positioned directly below a heat lamp. In use, the plaque holder is rotated to the heating position, wherein the plaque is heated by the lamp for a predetermined time. Then the plaque holder is rapidly rotated back to the measurement position, wherein the temperatures of the upper and lower surfaces of the plaque are rapidly measured. These steps are repeated and data recorded to allow reheat and/or other characteristics of the plaque to be assessed over time.

Abstract

High pressure injection apparatus (2) for addition of a liquid formulation into a melt stream comprises a first pump which is arranged to accurately meter the liquid formulation (including highly loaded formulations comprising solids comprising particles of relatively large size) and a second pump which boosts the pressure of the formulation to that of the melt stream into which it is to be injected. In an embodiment, the apparatus includes a tank (4) for initially receiving liquid formulation. The tank is subjected to ambient temperature and pressure and need not be stirred or otherwise agitated. The tank is arranged to deliver the formulation via pipe (6) into a first pump (8) (which may be a diaphragm pump or a progressing cavity pump). The pump is arranged to work at a pressure up to 120 bar to boost pressure. Downstream of pump (8), a pipe (10) is arranged to deliver formulation from the pump ()8 to a gear pump (12), driven by a motor (13). The gear pump acts to meter the liquid formulation. In an alternative embodiment, apparatus may include a progressing cavity pump to meter formulation and a gear pump to increase pressure. The apparatus may be used to inject a fluid formulation into a melted polymeric material.

Abstract

A bag-in-a-box includes a box part (40) made from a cardboard blank along with a liner (4) which is collapsible. The liner 14 includes a first elongate substantially rectangular tab (32) and a second elongate substantially rectangular tab (34). The first tab (32) is hinged about a weakened portion (36) and the second tab is hinged about a weakened portion (38). The first and second tabs are arranged to secure the liner within the box (40). The liner (14) is positioned within the box (40) and the tab (34) secured in position between two flaps of the box, so upwardly and downwardly facing faces of the tab 34 make face to face contact with respective flaps of the box. Tab (32) of the receptacle 10 is secured between flaps (44), (46) and (48). A gyroscopic mixing apparatus is used to agitate the receptacle (10) to mix its contents. With the arrangement, the mixing process and handling of the receptacle during normal use advantageously does not significantly damage the liner (14) or box part (40).
