I put a copy of this post on this thread because of the material
relevancy of plastic durability, life expectancy, and construction
characteristics to other project building. Vertigo

Figures, statues, toys, etc. made of plastic go back as far as the late 1800s.

This is designed to lend a better understanding concerning how
plastics are made, the different types of plastic and their numerous
properties and applications.

Plastics 101 Part Two

Raw Materials
Oil and natural gas are the major raw materials used to manufacture
plastics. The plastics production process often begins by treating
components of crude oil or natural gas in a "cracking process." This
process results in the conversion of these components into hydrocarbon
monomers such as ethylene and propylene. Further processing leads to a
wider range of monomers such as styrene, vinyl chloride, ethylene
glycol, terephthalic acid and many others. These monomers are then
chemically bonded into chains called polymers. The different
combinations of monomers yield plastics with a wide range of
properties and characteristics.

Plastics
Many common plastics are made from hydrocarbon monomers. These
plastics are made by linking many monomers together into long chains
to form a polymer backbone. Polyethylene, polypropylene and
polystyrene are the most common examples of these. Below is a diagram
of polyethylene, the simplest plastic structure.

Even though the basic makeup of many plastics is carbon and hydrogen,
other elements can also be involved. Oxygen, chlorine, fluorine and
nitrogen are also found in the molecular makeup of many plastics.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) contains chlorine. Nylon contains nitrogen.
Teflon contains fluorine. Polyester and polycarbonates contain oxygen.

Characteristics of Plastics
Plastics are divided into two distinct groups: thermoplastics and
thermosets. The majority of plastics are thermoplastic, meaning that
once the plastic is formed it can be heated and reformed repeatedly.
Celluloid is a thermoplastic. This property allows for easy processing
and facilitates recycling. The other group, the thermosets, cannot be
re-melted. Once these plastics are formed, reheating will cause the
material to decompose rather than melt. Bakelite, poly phenol
formaldehyde, is a thermoset.

Each plastic has very distinct characteristics, but most plastics have
the following general attributes.

1.
Plastics can be very resistant to chemicals. Consider all the cleaning
fluids in your home that are packaged in plastic. The warning labels
describing what happens when the chemical comes into contact with skin
or eyes or is ingested, emphasizes the chemical resistance of these
materials. While solvents easily dissolve some plastics, other
plastics provide safe, non-breakable packages for aggressive solvents.

2.
Plastics can be both thermal and electrical insulators. A walk through
your house will reinforce this concept. Consider all the electrical
appliances, cords, outlets and wiring that are made or covered with
plastics. Thermal resistance is evident in the kitchen with plastic
pot and pan handles, coffee pot handles, the foam core of
refrigerators and freezers, insulated cups, coolers and microwave
cookware. The thermal underwear that many skiers wear is made of
polypropylene and the fiberfill in many winter jackets is acrylic or
polyester.

3.
Generally, plastics are very light in weight with varying degrees of
strength. Consider the range of applications, from toys to the frame
structure of space stations, or from delicate nylon fiber in pantyhose
to Kevlar®, which is used in bulletproof vests. Some polymers float in
water while others sink. But, compared to the density of stone,
concrete, steel, copper, or aluminum, all plastics are lightweight
materials.

4.
Plastics can be processed in various ways to produce thin fibers or
very intricate parts. Plastics can be molded into bottles or
components of cars, such as dashboards and fenders. Some plastics
stretch and are very flexible. Other plastics, such as polyethylene,
polystyrene (Styrofoam™) and polyurethane, can be foamed. Plastics can
be molded into drums or be mixed with solvents to become adhesives or
paints. Elastomers and some plastics stretch and are very flexible.

5.
Polymers are materials with a seemingly limitless range of
characteristics and colors. Polymers have many inherent properties
that can be further enhanced by a wide range of additives to broaden
their uses and applications. Polymers can be made to mimic cotton,
silk, and wool fibers; porcelain and marble; and aluminum and zinc.
Polymers can also make possible products that do not readily come from
the natural world, such as clear sheets, foamed insulation board, and
flexible films. Plastics may be molded or formed to produce many kinds
of products with application in many major markets.

6.
Polymers are usually made of petroleum, but not always. Many polymers
are made of repeat units derived from natural gas or coal or crude
oil. But building block repeat units can sometimes be made from
renewable materials such as polylactic acid from corn or cellulosics
from cotton linters. Some plastics have always been made from
renewable materials such as cellulose acetate used for screwdriver
handles and gift ribbon. When the building blocks can be made more
economically from renewable materials than from fossil fuels, either
old plastics find new raw materials or new plastics are introduced.

Production Processes

Additives
Many plastics are blended with additives as they are processed into
finished products. The additives are incorporated into plastics to
alter and improve their basic mechanical, physical, or chemical
properties. Additives are used to protect plastics from the degrading
effects of light, heat, or bacteria; to change such plastic
properties, such as melt flow; to provide color; to provide foamed
structure; to provide flame retardancy; and to provide special
characteristics such as improved surface appearance or reduced
tack/friction.

Plasticizers are materials incorporated into certain plastics to
increase flexibility and workability. Plasticizers are found in many
plastic film wraps and in flexible plastic tubing, both of which are
commonly used in food packaging or processing. All plastics used in
food contact, including the additives and plasticizers, are regulated
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure that these
materials are safe.

SO, WHAT PROCESS METHODS ARE ACTUALLY USED TO PRODUCE BATMAN RELATED FIGURES AND MODELS
I put a copy of this post on this thread because of the material
relevancy of plastic durability, life expectancy, and construction
characteristics to other project building. Vertigo

Processing Methods
There are several different processing methods used to make plastic
products. Below are the four main methods in which plastics are
processed to form the products that consumers use, such as plastic
film, bottles, bags and other containers.

1.
Extrusion—Plastic pellets or granules are first loaded into a hopper,
then fed into an extruder, which is a long heated chamber, through
which it is moved by the action of a continuously revolving screw. The
plastic is melted by a combination of heat from the mechanical work
done and by the hot sidewall metal. At the end of the extruder, the
molten plastic is forced out through a small opening or die to shape
the finished product. As the plastic product extrudes from the die, it
is cooled by air or water. Plastic films and bags are made by
extrusion processing.

2.
Injection molding—Injection molding, plastic pellets or granules are
fed from a hopper into a heating chamber. An extrusion screw pushes
the plastic through the heating chamber, where the material is
softened into a fluid state. Again, mechanical work and hot sidewalls
melt the plastic. At the end of this chamber, the resin is forced at
high pressure into a cooled, closed mold. Once the plastic cools to a
solid state, the mold opens and the finished part is ejected. This
process is used to make products such as butter tubs, yogurt
containers, closures and fittings.

3.
Blow molding—Blow molding is a process used in conjunction with
extrusion or injection molding. In one form, extrusion blow molding,
the die forms a continuous semi-molten tube of thermoplastic material.
A chilled mold is clamped around the tube and compressed air is then
blown into the tube to conform the tube to the interior of the mold
and to solidify the stretched tube. Overall, the goal is to produce a
uniform melt, form it into a tube with the desired cross section and
blow it into the exact shape of the product. This process is used to
manufacture hollow plastic products and its principal advantage is its
ability to produce hollow shapes without having to join two or more
separately injection molded parts. This method is used to make items
such as commercial drums and milk bottles. Another blow molding
technique is to injection mold an intermediate shape called a preform
and then to heat the preform and blow the heat-softened plastic into
the final shape in a chilled mold. This is the process to make
carbonated soft drink bottles.

4.
Rotational Molding—Rotational molding consists of a closed mold
mounted on a machine capable of rotation on two axes simultaneously.
Plastic granules are placed in the mold, which is then heated in an
oven to melt the plastic Rotation around both axes distributes the
molten plastic into a uniform coating on the inside of the mold until
the part is set by cooling. This process is used to make hollow
products, for example large toys or kayaks.

Durables vs. Non-Durables
All types of plastic products are classified within the plastic
industry as being either a durable or non-durable plastic good. These
classifications are used to refer to a product's expected life.

Products with a useful life of three years or more are referred to as
durables. They include appliances, furniture, consumer electronics,
automobiles, building and construction materials, toys, and yes Batman related figures and models..

Products with a useful life of less than three years are generally
referred to as non-durables. Common applications include packaging,
trash bags, cups, eating utensils, sporting and recreational
equipment, toys, medical devices and disposable diapers. vertigo

THE COLLECTIVE GROUPING AND SUB-SUMMARIES OF DEGRADATION PROCESSES
THAT WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY YOUR BATMAN RELATED FIGURES AND MODEL
COLLECTION.

Note: Libraries of books have been written on the degradation of
polymers/plastics. I added this sub-summary information for the Batman
related figure and model collector who burns to know exactly the
absolute truth as to why his collection will eventually fall apart.

The degradation of polymers usually starts at the outer surface and
penetrates gradually into the bulk of the material.

There are many different modes of polymer degradation. These are very
similar since they all involve chemical reactions that result in bond
scission.

Chemical degradation
Chemical degradation refers exclusively to processes, which are
induced under the influence of chemical reagent (e.g. acids, bases,
solvents reactive gases, etc.) Weidner et al. (1996).

Thermal degradation
Thermal degradation refers to the case where the polymer, at elevated
temperatures, starts to undergo chemical changes without the
simultaneous involvement of another compound Guaita et al. (1985).

Biodegradation
Biologically initiated degradation also is strongly related to
chemical degradation as far as microbial attack is concerned.
Microorganisms produce variety of enzymes which are capable of
reaction with natural and synthetic polymers Dindar and Icli, (2001).

Radiolytic degradation
When polymeric materials are subjected to high energy radiation (e.g.
gamma radiation) changes are observed on their molecular structure,
mainly chain scission, which leads to reduction in molar mass Vinhas
et al. (2003).

Mechanical degradation
This generally, refers to macroscopic effects brought about under the
influence of shear forces. These forces result in the formation of
macro radicals. Such radicals can recombine in the absence of oxygen.
In the presence of oxygen peroxy-radicals may be formed, which leads
to the degradation of polymeric chains Potts (1991).

Photo-degradation
Photo-degradation is degradation of a photodegradable molecule caused
by the absorption of photons, particularly those wavelengths found in
sunlight, such as infrared radiation, visible light, and ultraviolet
light. However, other forms of electromagnetic radiation can cause
photo-degradation. Photo-degradation includes photo-dissociation, the
breakup of molecules into smaller pieces by photons. It also includes
the change of a molecule's shape to make it irreversibly altered, such
as the denaturing of proteins, and the addition of other atoms or
molecules. A common photo-degradation reaction is oxidation.
Photo-degradation in the environment is part of the process by which
ambergris evolves from its fatty precursor. Photo-degradation also
destroys paintings and other artifacts.

Light - induced polymer degradation, or photo-degradation, includes
the physical and chemical changes caused by irradiation of polymers
with ultraviolet or visible light. In order to be effective, light
must be absorbed by the substrate (polymeric system). Thus, the
existence of chromophoric groups in the macromolecules is a
prerequisite for the initiation of any photochemical reaction Schnabel
(1981).

Ketones, quinines, and peroxides are initiators for different reaction
degradation or chemical modification occurring in organic compounds
Kaczmarek et al. (1999). They absorb light up to about 380 nm, which
causes their excitation or cleavage to radicals. One may initiate
polymer degradation and other transformation by abstruction of
hydrogen atom from a macromolecule (PH) and formation of polymer alkyl
radical (P.) (Rabek 1993; Rabek 1996).

The influence of low-molecular weight organic compounds such as
benzophenone (BPh), anthraquinone (AQ) and benzoyl peroxide (BPo) on
the photo-processes of polystyrene has been studied. The results
indicate that additives accelerate and increase the photo-degradation
and photo-oxidation of polystyrene Kaczmarek et al. (1999).

Photo-degradation may occur in the absence of oxygen (chain breaking
or cross-linking) and the presence of oxygen (photo-oxidative)
degradation. The photo-oxidative degradation process is induced by UV
radiation and other catalysts (or both) and can be accelerated at
elevated temperatures.

Photo-degradation of polystyrene (e.g. embrittlement and color change)
can take place upon irradiation with a portion of UV light that is
contained within sun light.

SUMMARY OF DEGRADATION PROCESSES THAT WILL EVENTUALLY DESTROY YOUR
BATMAN RELATED FIGURES AND MODEL COLLECTION.

Polymer degradation can be caused by heat (thermal degradation), light
(photo-degradation), ionizing radiation (radio degradation),
mechanical action, or by fungi, bacteria, yeasts, algae, and their
enzymes (biodegradation). The deleterious effects of weathering on
polymers generally has been ascribed to a complex set of processes in
which the combined action of UV. light and oxygen predominant. The
overall light-initiated process in the presence of oxygen generally is
referred to as oxidative photo-degradation or photo-oxidation. A pure
thermal effect is possible because oxygen is always present and so the
process is thermal-oxidative degradation Feldman (2002).

EVERYTHING YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT POLYSTONE
The new normal for sculpture casting that includes Batman related
figures and busts.

Polystone has a significant weight, porcelain like feel to the touch,
and an incredible ability to capture minute details, making it
unsurpassed in collectible manufacturing materials.

Polystone (resin compound) is a manufacturing medium used for cast
sculptures; it is hard to find one that delivers a cleaner, more
substantial representation of an original sculpture than a product
manufactured in Polystone. Polystone is a compound made up largely of
polyurethane resin mixed with powdered stone additives that give it
added weight and the porcelain or "stone-like" feel that resulted in
the materials name itself. Polystone has higher quality than resin
because of the base materials it uses; mainly minerals such as
aluminum hydrate, as opposed to synthetic materials. Polystone is
durable and highly effective at maintaining a sharp paint finish.
Unlike porcelain which is fired in an oven, Polystone is a cold-cast
material in which no heat is used in the manufacturing process,
resulting in much greater variations of paint finish. Obviously you
have to keep in mind that these are meant to be fragile, high end
pieces. Polystone has similar properties to resin. They are, by
nature, breakable. However, polystone is more durable than resin.
Which is perhaps the reason that Hot Toys and other similar
manufacturers began to make the change from resin to polystone awhile
back in their bust and statue lines. It is typically made for
mass-produced statues, such as Batman figure and bust polystone
cold-casts. Polystone is the least restrictive in reproducing details.
The edges and cuts are the cleanest, and a fair amount of detail can
be put into it. This may be why polystone is now the material of
choice for mass produced high end resin cast figures and busts.

Care and Repair of Polystone and Polyresin
EBAY site article

WHAT IS POLYSTONE?
A: Polystone is a compound made up largely of polyurethane resin mixed
with powdered stone additives that give it added weight and a
stone-like feel and durability. Items made in Polystone are cold-cast
in which no heat is used in the manufacturing process, resulting in
much greater variations of product finish.

Q: Why do I have to clean my polystone Statue or Bust?
A: One of the main issues for collectors that display their Polystone
pieces is dust. Dust attracts oils and other contaminants from the air
that will eventually cause discoloring to your polystone statue or
bust if left unchecked.

Q: How do you remove dust without destroying my polystone statue or bust?
A: A camera lens brush is great to whisk dust from the delicate areas,
as well as from the hard to reach areas and fine details of a statue.
If you don’t have a camera lens brush, a very soft, medium sized paint
brush can also be used. Next, follow up the dusting with a blast from
a can of compressed air.

Q: Can I wash my polystone statue or bust, or use a wet cloth on them?
A: If you absolutely need to, you can also use a damp, lint-free cloth
on the larger areas as well as the bases to loosen up the dust. Dampen
the cloth with water but never use harsh chemical cleaners because the
chemicals have the potential to permanently damage the paint finish
and even the polystone material.

Q: Can I display my polystone statue or bust collection near a heating
or air conditioning vent?
A: Your collection should not be displayed in such areas because of
the inconsistent room temperature. The statue or bust surface or
integrity could be affected. Keep your collectibles in a consistent
environment.

Q: Will the sunlight affect the paint on my figures if I display them
in a window?
A: Long term exposure to direct sunlight and UV rays will damage your
statue or bust paint as well as the finish over time. All displays
should not be in areas around or next to windows. General electric
indoor lighting will not affect the paint quality of your polystone
collectibles

Q: How do I clean my polyester plants?
A: Polyester plants (sometimes used to add atmosphere around
busts/figures) are very durable but can get dusty. First, move the
plant to an open outdoor area. Using a regular feather duster, start
at the top of the plant and work your way down. For very dusty plants
take a regular garden hose and spray quickly from top to bottom and
let dry completely. DO NOT use an artificial (hair) dryer.

Q: How do I repair small chips, or paint chips on the polystone figures?
A: If you have small chips or breaks make sure you save all the
pieces. You can use the tooth picks to apply the super glue onto very
tight places and your tweezers to place the small pieces back
strategically. You can then use paint to touch up any surface scuffs
or missing colors from the break.

Q: How do I repair broken arms or legs on my polystone statue or bust?
A: Use a toothpick to apply the clear super glue to both the broken
limb and statue or bust. Wait a few seconds for the glue to set up and
align the broken parts. Support may be needed until the glue dries
depending on the size and location of the broken piece.

WHAT IS POLYRESIN?
A: Polyresin is a resin compound generally used for statues,
figurines, and decorative furniture. It is a sturdy material that can
be intricately molded, allowing a great level of detail with
consistent texture. Additives can be added into the compound to
enhance the material's strength, reduce its weight, add heat
stability, and decorative effects.

Q: How do I clean a Polyresin item?
A: If the item has been painted a dusting with compressed air or a
small paint brush is the best. Warm water and dish soap can be used,
make sure to dry the item, but try a small inconspicuous area first if
the item has been painted as some paints are water soluble. Do not use
harsh chemicals.

Q: How do I repair Polyresin?
A: School glue, tissue paper and acrylic paints can repair most damaged statues.

Q: My polystone statue or bust is broken, now what?
A: Don’t panic! Simple breaks and chips can be easily repaired by the
collector at home by following the different types of breaks in the
questions below. The supplies you will need are clear super glue (make
sure the glue can repair plastics and ceramics), tooth picks, small
soft brushes, tweezers, two part plumbers - epoxy putty, and acrylic
paint.

Maybe your need for a work space is holding you back from building your dream Bat Vehicle.
Twelve years ago I needed some extra work space for a project that involved five Navy Seals Fast Attack Dune buggies my friends and I were working on simultaneously. I only had enough extra room for one. Here is how we solved the space needed problem.
1) Bought two 18 x 20 carports for 499.99 (now 699.99) each that included
free assembly and erection on my property. No concrete slab used a dirt floor.
2) Used 20-sheets of 7/16 wafer board (OSB) on each carport and self tapping metal screws to cover the
openings and framed out a 36 inch wide door opening. 200.00 including the costs of the screws. Today
the cost would be 300.00 for each carport.
3) Used 40-2 x 4s for the front and back to make upright frame supports. Front supports could be taken in
and out with screws. About 150.00 each carport.
4) Rolled out the OSB sheets with latex house paint. 100.00 each.
5) Total cost each: around 1,000.00 Today's cost probably around 1,400.00 each.
6) Used extension cords for power.
7) Once you have the carports you can cover them anyway you want. vertigo

Put a copy of this post here because a working space is a necessity for a Bat Vehicle build.
I was looking through a Northern Tool catalog and I noticed this HEAVY DUTY shelter that can be assembled in 1-2 hours. It looks like it would make for a great build space for those on a budget and needing a good quality space to work in.
The Shelterlogic ShelterTube is built to take on snow loads up to 43 lbs. per sq. ft. and wind speeds up to 80 MPH. This sturdy shelter features a 2in. square steel tube frame with a matte DuPont™ powder-coat finish that resists chipping, peeling, rusting and corrosion. The triple-layer, heat-bonded 9-oz. per sq. meter polyethylene ripstop cover is waterproof and UV-treated inside and out to stand up to the elements. Front 10ft.W x 8ft.H double zipper door is an easy entry point for even the largest vehicles and equipment. The included roll-up door kit helps open and close the door quickly. ThruBolt connections for maximum stability and a rock-solid structure. Ratchet Tite™ system improves tensioning for the cover. Cost: 1,000.oo vertigo

The greatest problem to overcome when building Bat Vehicles and the
major cause of project abandonment is the critical response to the
periodic episodes of BAT VEHICLE BUILDER’s BLOCK. This is why less
than one quarter of one percent; one in 400, of Bat Vehicle project
starts will ever be completed.

BAT VEHICLE BUILDER’s BLOCK

I define this as: The condition of being unable to think of what to do
next or how to proceed further with planning. The Bat Vehicle Builder
has lost the ability to produce physical work towards completion and
creative thinking on the project has become cloudy and elusive. Even
worse, the episode of Bat Vehicle Builder’s Block will cause an
ever-increasing anxiety, resulting in an avoidance response and
further procrastination. For these reasons, each episode of Bat
Vehicle Builder’s Block is a defining moment. It is how you overcome
an episode of Bat Vehicle Builder’s Block that will define your
courage in the face of adversity and propel your Bat Vehicle further
towards completion.

Has anyone out there experienced BUILDER’s BLOCK? Do you have some
words of advice and encouragement for present and future Bat Vehicle
builder’s. vertigo

BAT VEHICLE BUILDER’s BLOCK
Part 2  Understanding the reasons
The reason BUILDER’s BLOCK sounds so dreadful and overwhelming is
because nobody ever takes it apart. Builders combine all the different
types of creative building problems into one broad and vague category.
In fact, there's no such thing as "BUILDER’s BLOCK," and treating a
broad range of creative building slowdowns as a single vague problem
just creates something slippery and monolithic. Each type of creative
building slowdown has a different cause that requires a different
solution.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the petrifying mystique of the
all-inclusive, “BUILDER’s BLOCK”, it's better to take it apart, define
it, and then master it. There are many reasons for creative building
slowdowns and I plan to post some of the more common types with
solutions in future posts.  Experience is usually the best teacher.
Anyone out there have a past adventure with BUILDER’s BLOCK?   vertigo
