ConclusionLIM technology offers opportunities to produce injection moldedarticles with significant property improvements and economicbenefits. A variety of market segments and applications are candidatesfor the LIM technology.Many different material combinations and lamellar structuresare required for the range of applications. The following applicationsshow potential for LIM technology use.Food packaging. LIM is used to fabricate rigid packages with improvedoxygen barrier performance, increased optical clarity, hotfilltemperature acceptance, and toughness. Molded bottles andother containers are potential applications as well.Chemically resistant packaging. LIM has potential uses in rigidchemical packaging with improved chemical barrier properties,toughness, and increased chemical resistance. Other applicationsinclude hydrocarbon-resistant containers, receptacles, reservoirs,and fittings; ethanol- and hydrocarbon-resistant molded products;and oxygenated gasoline-resistant containers and products.Automotive applications. Increased chemical and oil resistance,dimensional stability and clarity, and increased temperatureperformance suggest LIM for fuel line parts, windshield washerparts, under-hood parts, exterior parts, brake system parts and fittings,and receptacles and reservoirs.Health care products. Packages, containers, valves, and fittingsfor the health care market segment can benefit from the improvedoxygen resistance, environmental stress crack resistance, dimensionalstability, and clarity offered by LIM.
