Description
In the 1967 movie The Graduate, the young 21-year-old protagonist Benjamin, receives some advice from his middle-aged neighbor, Mr. McGuire - “I just want to say one word to you - just one word - plastics - there is a great future in plastics.”
The producers of this movie had no idea just how prophetic these famous lines would become. Today, plastics have become a common part of everyday life and their use continues to accelerate and grow.
Thermoplastics, however, are a unique breed of materials and behave differently than many of the materials traditionally utilized by manufacturers and designers. This means we must evolve our understanding of how we use and apply these materials. Perhaps no discussion on this subject is more important than understanding how to fasten and connect these materials.
Upon completion of this webinar, participants should have a fundamental understanding of thread forming into plastics, what constitutes best practice, and why some screw designs are better suited for these applications than others.
Fastening into Plastics is presented by Laurence Claus, director of education and training for Industrial Fasteners Institute.
