Similar to an injection molding machine, but without a mold and continuous production. Thus it has a similar energy consumption profile. Environmentally Unfriendly Additives: •Fluorinated blowing agents (GHG’s) •Phalates (some toxic to human liver, kidney and testicles) •Organotin stabilizers (toxic and damage marine wildlife) 47
