References and Abstracts A vaulting pole is a combined pivot and energy storage device that enables top pole vaulters to reach heights of over 6 m. It is described how modern Olympic poles are highly optimised in terms of material selection and geometry. The use of modern techniques in composite production to enable special design features such as tapered wall thickness and initially bent poles is also discussed. 4 refs. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; UK; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.705823 Item 162 Plastics and Rubber Asia 13, No.82, Oct.1998, PU Asia, p.15, contained within 13, No. 82, Oct 1998 SILVER SEATING SITS PRETTY Sulaiman W Silver Seating wants to make seats for new Honda cars being made soon in Guangzhou. The company is confident that it can get the contract, as it has been making motor cycle seats for Honda for the last 12 years. Honda will produce its best selling Civic and City models at the Guangzhou plant. It is expected to be ready by the end of the year and will be fully operational early 1998. Silver Seating makes a wide variety of motor cycle, as well as bicycle seats for the local market. Most of its production is for the Honda motor cycle joint venture company, Wuyang-Honda, to which it supplies over half of its daily output of 2,000 seats. If Silver Seating wins the Honda contract it will invest at least RMB40 million to buy new lines as its facility is not equipped with car seat making equipment. Some company information is presented.

Colombo, Sri Lanka, 16th-27th May 1994, p.295-7. 1741-41C1 LATEX ALLERGIES AND THE RUBBER INDUSTRY Cacioli P Ansell Medical (Pvt.)Ltd. (IRSG) The most widely discussed topic among the manufacturers of NR latex medical products today is latex allergy. This has had a significant impact on the medical rubber goods industry in recent times and focus is now beginning to turn on more commonplace items such as balloons, rubber mats, tyres, etc. Worldwide rubber production from the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis has reached six million tpa. Besides various medical uses, such as surgical gloves, drainage tubes and dental inserts an increasing number of everyday products varying from condoms to tyres, to sports gear and car upholstery are made from NR. It is estimated that approximately 1% of the general population and 5-10% of healthcare professionals are latex sensitive. The prevalence of latex sensitivity among healthcare workers may be increasing because of the growing use of latex gloves to decrease the risk of AIDS transmission. Details are given. ASIA Accession no.703977 Item 163 Kunststoffe Plast Europe 85, No.1, Jan.1995, p.24-5 INCREASING THE SERVICE LIFE OF MOULDINGS CONTAINING RECYCLATE Pfaendner R; Herbst H; Hoffmann K; Klingert B; Sitek F; Cooper T The use of plastics recyclate for long-term applications generally requires the addition of stabilisers to the material, in order to achieve the properties required for the second application. In addition to processing and heat stabilisation, light stabilisation in particular has to be considered. Hindered amine light stabiliser (HALS) compounds or combinations of HALS compounds with light stabilisers have proved to be particularly suitable for light stabilisation of recyclates. Aspects examined include packaging recyclate for outdoor applications, recyclate from film composites, carbon black’s Item 165 Kunststoffe Plast Europe 85, No.3, March 1995, p.25-6 BICYCLE FRAMES MADE BY FILAMENT WINDING USING THERMOPLASTIC MATRICES Funck R; Hausmann J Kaiserslautern,University Details are given of a study carried out at the Institute for Composite Materials of the University of Kaiserlautern, which uses the filament winding process using thermoplastics in the manufacture of a bicycle frame. Advantages of the process are described as compared to using thermosets. Use is made of unidirectional fibrereinforced pre-impregnated tapes, hybrid fibres and powder impregnated filaments. The materials supplied on spools are melted up with the help of a heat source and deposited on a winding mandrel. Problems associated 50 © Copyright 2001 Rapra Technology Limited

The technique is used to produce a set of tubes from nylon 6 reinforced with 55% carbon fibre. 2 refs.

This technology, owned by Scrimp Systems, uses a high vacuum to saturate or infuse a dry lay-up of long glass fibres with a liquid unsaturated polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy resin which can be cured at room temperature, followed by lamination on a wooden or glass fibre-reinforced plastics mould of the type used in hand lay-up.

These include rubberised asphalt, civil engineering, soil amendment, playground surfacing and road construction. The evolution of equipment to cope with a growth in applications for scrap tyres is also briefly discussed.

The company is seeking the latest technology resins that are easy to work with, and offer better clarity and strength. It claims that large resin companies are reluctant to get involved with Hexcel’s fabrics group in Austin, Texas, aggressive in developing a new glass fibre cloth for surfboards. After twenty years of using the same fabric, a much stronger weave has been developed that ensures that the resins did not impregnate the cloth quite as much. As a result, boards are said to be lighter and stronger, and the cloth is having a huge impact on the surfboard industry. Another surfboard maker, Surf Technologies, is using a licensed European sailboard technology that involves vacuum forming one skin and pressure forming the other. The high technology sandwich concept originated in the aircraft industry. Brief details are presented. © Copyright 2001Rapra Technology Limited 51
