Softening and Deformation Behavior of Plastic Model Runners under Infrared Heating


This video demonstrates the infrared heating behavior of plastic model runners using a halogen line heater.
The infrared radiation is linearly focused on the plastic runners, leading to rapid softening and deformation in the irradiated areas.
Depending on the heating conditions, phenomena such as smoke emission and carbonization may also be observed.
This visualization provides valuable insights into the thermal response of thermoplastic resins, supporting the optimal design of recycling processes such as thermal decomposition, heat-based sorting, and deodorization treatments.
