How are balls made?
Snooker Ball is a colored ball used to play snooker. In the past, snooker balls were carved from wood that did not happen well during more games. Today, balls are cast from artificial resins, then further smoothed and polished by machines
Two most common resin types used for game balls are phenol and polyester. Phenolic resin is used in the quality of quality balls because it is resistant to chip and scratches and easy to maintain varnish. The coach is created by casting the resin to the desired shape.
castings are made by heating liquid resin and pouring into flexible latex forms. Other times, the liquid latex will be forcibly injected into a mold, which ensures that no air bubbles will be created and that the item will be fully cast. The shape of the molds then determines the steps to complete the snooker ball. Some forms are made to occupy one ball at a time and peel off as a shell of eggs for seriousness, while another "chain" of the ball. BallY are then broken and further smoothed with machine lathes.
Many resinous objects are painted and dispersed after they have come out of the form. Snoker balls, however, often take beating from knocking against stimuli, table and each other during the game. For this reason, the liquid resin is often colored in advance, so after their creation, small tubs appear to the snooker balls.
Although resin is a very precise casting method, snooker balls will vary slightly. When they are ready, the balls will be considered and adapted to the set of the most similar weights. The Belgian company Saluc, which has produced snooker balls since the 1960s, still has every ball with a briefcase before leaving the factory.
The material used to make snooker balls had long development. Originally, Snooker BSECHNY was carved from wood that did not always build the wear of the game. Around the same time manufacturers were looking for an alternative matThe edition, with which the billiard balls are made, which were then hand discarded from the cured elephant tusks. A scientist who could come up with alternative material was offered a price and a celluloid was born.
After the success of celluloid, bakelite and other plastics, they have been developed, ending with resins that are still used to create many products we use today. Some historians say that the search for alternative material for Snooker balls was the beginning of the invention of modern plastics.
