<p>O termo &#8216;postforming &#8220;descreve o processo de flexão Formica ® alta pressão em laminado simples cilíndrica côncava ou convexa curvas. Este procedimento é aplicado especialmente desenvolvido para séries do laminado, que conservam todas as propriedades de qualidade normal laminados.</p>
<p>Em ângulos internos e externos, curvo superfícies - com a sua ausência de costuras visíveis - são muitas vezes mais do que esteticamente agradável arestas cortantes, eles também eliminar articulações nas quais podem acumular água e sujeira.</p>
<p>Espessura é um importante determinante de formability. Geralmente, laminados finos podem ser formadas com raios mais apertado do que camadas mais espessas. Para uma determinada espessura, retardadores de chama postforming laminados são menos do que não-formable ignífugas postforming laminados.</p>
<p>Ao contrário de alguns dos fabricantes postforming laminados, que têm uma vida de prateleira, o formability de laminados Formica não se deteriorem durante o armazenamento de longo prazo.</p>
<p>O processo Postforming</p>
<p>Todos postforming exige o laminado a ser aquecido sobre a área que está a ser formado. Para obter os melhores (stress-free) curvas, o calor laminado a um nível ligeiramente abaixo da temperatura na qual ela blisters (aproximadamente 175 ° C). Esta temperatura deve ser atingida formando bastante rapidamente, seja qual for o método de aquecimento.</p>
<p>Na prática, formando uma razoavelmente vasta zona é necessária uma temperatura entre a temperatura mais baixa a que irão formar o laminado sem rachaduras, e as mais altas temperaturas, que pode ser usada com segurança sem o risco de bolhas. A gama de temperaturas recomendadas para formar Formica HGP e VGP postforming laminados é de 150 ° C - 165 ° C. O intervalo recomendado para ignífugas postforming grau VFP é de 160 ° C - 170 ° C. Always forma branca laminados a extremidade superior da gama de temperaturas.</p>
<p>Postforming Vários processos estão disponíveis. Estes vão desde pouco dispendioso oficina-made gabaritos para que o processo sofisticadas máquinas de painéis em dois bordos em velocidades de até 15 metros por minuto.</p>
<p>Seja qual for usado processo, controlar e fiscalizar o aquecimento do laminado meticulosamente durante todo o período de trabalho. Flutuações na temperatura ambiente, aquecedor de tensão ou de máquina velocidades maio chateado condições críticas de aquecimento, levando a rachaduras devido à insuficiência de calor ou de bolhas de demasiado calor.</p>
<p>Aplicação de calor sensível líquidos ou ceras para a área a ser aquecida é uma maneira eficaz de controlo da temperatura formando. Estes derreter instantaneamente a temperatura prescrita, dando uma indicação exacta visível que o laminado superfície tenha atingido a temperatura exigida. Portáteis de infra-vermelho termômetros também pode ser usado, mas tome cuidado para que o instrumento está medindo apenas a temperatura da laminação superfície sem serem influenciados por fontes em torno de calor ou frio.</p>
<p>Equipamento</p>
<p>O método usual de postforming é o primeiro a cola laminado à superfície plana do painel ou worktop, que tenha sido previamente modeladas em sua ponta para o perfil exigido, e, em seguida, para formar o vínculo laminado simultaneamente durante os bordos arredondados.</p>
<p>Colagem processos distintos, mas só há dois métodos básicos de postforming o laminado: estacionárias e contínuas formando formando. Na primeira, a peça se mantém estática durante a operação formando; no segundo, que é transportada em um cinturão em movimento através do aquecimento e formando zonas da máquina.</p>
<p>Estacionária ou estático formando</p>
<p>Estáticos são simples máquinas formadoras curvando sondas. O painel é preso pneumaticamente para um flat bed entroncado com a borda saliente overhanging laminado. Um aquecedor radiante retrátil desce e debruça sobre o laminado até que a temperatura exigida formando seja alcançado. O aquecedor é então retraída e uma seção angular pregas laminado a quente ao longo da borda perfil e detém-lo até que ele esteja em posição legal. Uma vantagem dessas máquinas é que eles podem ser usados para formar as curvas com grandes drop-frentes.</p>
<p>Um método diferente de estacionamento postforming é utilizado na Brandt máquinas. A infra-vermelho radiante aquecedor é substituída por uma placa aquecida restrita, que os contactos directamente laminado superfície e ferros-la em torno de um perfil preparado. Soldadura e formando ocorrer simultaneamente. Sendo na realidade um pequeno móvel imprensa, ele pode usar quase qualquer tipo de adesivo. Estas máquinas são totalmente automáticas: uma vez definida para um determinado perfil que segui-lo várias vezes com o toque de um botão.</p>
<p>Formação Contínua</p>
<p>Contínua formando seus máquinas variam em tamanho e capacidade de produção, mas todas funcionam de forma semelhante. O painel, que teve as bordas do laminado e raio aderente à superfície plana, é transportada por uma corrente ou correia-drive através de uma infra-vermelhos zona de aquecimento, passado e barras de aço inoxidável, que agora vire-o ao longo do laminado amolecida perfilado borda. Moldados de borracha ou de metal formada rolos laminados a imprensa local na ponta até o adesivo é curada, e que o excedente é laminado aparadas off.</p>
<p>Contínua queda em dois grupos de máquinas usando diferentes sistemas adesivos.</p>
<p>Processo contínuo, utilizando adesivos PVAc</p>
<p>Estas máquinas são favorecidas na produção em massa cozinha indústria moveleira. Eles são automatizados, e eles usam adesivos especiais, que não requerem nenhuma extracção facilidades e presentes de incêndio.</p>
<p>Os painéis de trabalho ou são folheadas em primeiro plano uma colagem imprensa, com o laminado overhanging as bordas perfiladas. As máquinas são postforming auto-contido unidades: eles fazem, cola e remates em um passe.</p>
<p>Processo contínuo contato utilizando adesivos</p>
<p>Estas máquinas são geralmente dupla face e capaz de largura considerável adaptação. O painel ou worktop é primeiro folheadas por pulverização tanto o laminado e substrato (incluindo as bordas perfiladas), com neoprene adesiva, em seguida, colagem sob pressão, fornecendo-lhes a montagem através de borracha com cobertura alfinetada apostadores.</p>
<p>Para postforming, o laminado é aquecido pela primeira passagem por uma infra-vermelhos para chegar a zona de aquecimento formando temperatura. O calor Reativa o adesivo de modo que, quando o laminado é formado pela casa e pressionou os rolos, ele instantaneamente laços com o revestimento adesivo sobre o perfilado bordas do substrato.</p>
<p>Coving</p>
<p>Os internos (côncava) dobre de um integrante worktop com uma pessoa que se levanta é geralmente obtido por moagem de distância do substrato na área da curvatura, em seguida, postforming laminado a quente, ao longo de um metal antigo. MDF encher-nos uma peça (calcanhar-peça) e está inserida colada na posição após o laminado foi formado.</p>
<p>Substratos para Postformed componentes</p>
<p>Os requisitos para um bom substrato, em geral, aplicam-se também na fabricação postforming. Além disso, um substrato com boa ponta propriedades usinagem (produzindo um acabamento liso limpa com o mínimo de break-out) é necessária para proporcionar uma transição suave de ambos os planos para o raio, e sem falhas ao longo da curva de aderência com o mínimo de mostrar-through.</p>
<p>1. Aglomerado</p>
<p>Aglomerado com uma boa qualidade e bom acabamento superficial é mesmo essencial. Deve ser construído de modo a evitar arrancando fora do chip partículas durante o processo de perfilamento ponta e devem proporcionar uma multa, mesmo superficial, sem espaços vazios. Escova para remover partículas soltas depois da usinagem do perfil.</p>
<p>2. MDF</p>
<p>As excelentes qualidades de usinagem MDF torná-lo um substrato ideal para o bom ponta perfis.</p>
<p>3. Contraplacado</p>
<p>Usinagem do perfil é mais difícil com o contraplacado como a cola-múltiplas linhas podem produzir desgaste desigual das lâminas. Mantenha lâminas tão intensos quanto possível, limpe-os com regularidade e com um casaco para evitar a libertação agente resina build-up.</p>
<p>A pós-operação lixar seguido por escovagem é aconselhável após usinagem. A usinagem direcção deveria seguir o grão da superfície folheados.</p>
<p>4. Nariz-peças sólidas</p>
<p>Se os componentes exigem um grande raio externo, o perfil da moda construídas de seções de MDF ou aglomerado de madeira maciça e nunca, o que pode encolher e produzir ondulações na superfície do laminado.</p>

<img border="0" align="left" width="200" src="http://www.gungorkaya.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/house.jpg" hspace="10" alt="house" height="160" />The political and economic stability resulting in foreign interest in the property market boosted the construction of new sites between 2002 and 2007. <br />
Recent political and economic stability as well as efforts by the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) to increasingly integrate the Turkish economy into global business have led foreign interests to invest their wealth in Turkey.<br />
 <br />
In the five-year period from 2003 through 2007 the value of real estate purchases by foreign interests was approximately $10 billion, recent Undersecretariat of the Treasury figures have shown.</p>
<p>The surging interest in real estate was accompanied by increasing amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the given period, with capital inflow surpassing $18 billion per year. The amount of money brought in by foreign interests for real estate acquisition was $998 million in 2003 and has increased steadily since then, rising to $1.34 billion in 2004, $1.84 billion in 2005 and $2.9 billion in 2006. The amount increased slightly in 2007, too, by reaching $2.95 billion despite domestic and international economic uncertainty.</p>
<p>The main factors contributing to foreign interest in the Turkish real estate market are relatively low prices, increasing income levels and production, and positive expectations vis-à-vis real estate prices.</p>
<p>According to a report titled &#8220;Real Estate Acquisitions of Foreign Real Persons&#8221; released by the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre, people from 70 nationalities purchased fixed property such as land and houses. Among them, the citizens of Germany, the US, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and France predominate. They usually prefer İstanbul and Antalya, as half of the money is invested in these two cities. These cities are followed by Bursa, İzmir, Muğla, Hatay, Aydın and Mersin.</p>
<p>FDI and real estate acquisitions did not have a bright outlook in the year preceding AK Party governance, as they primarily stayed below $1 billion. Along with stability, efforts to join the European Union have rendered Turkish markets attractive investment areas. In the five years since 2003 the total amount of FDI has surpassed $46 billion. The annual amount of such capital inflow is expected to increase even further this year and the years to come.</p>
