Gravi-Tech™ BIO Bio-Based Formulations Gravi-Tech™ BIO bio-based formulations are density modified engineered polymers that contain partially bio-based resin from renewable plant sources. They offer a more sustainable alternative to density modified grades based on prime/virgin polymers. These polymer formulations have been developed to achieve equivalent performance to prime density modified solutions with added sustainability benefits.

CESA™ Slip Additives Lubrication PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Many polymer processing operations need lubrication to improve the process flow and/or part. They act as plasticizers to improve the flow of the polymer through the process (extrusion, injection molding, extrusion blow molding, etc), reducing the heat and energy needed. Contact your sales representative for more information, or to learn more about custom solutions for your application.

NYMAX™ POLYMER FORMULATIONS PRIME & RECYCLED NYLON THERMOPLASTICS PROCESSING GUIDE 2 Nymax Polymer Formulations Nymax™ and Nymax™ REC Formulations Nymax™ thermoplastics include prime and recycled nylon formulations in both unfilled grades and with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements. Additional draft may be required for grained/textured surfaces. 4 Nymax Polymer Formulations Troubleshooting Recommendations Problem Cause Solution Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold too cold • Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures • Increase mold temperature • Increase injection rate • Check thermocouples and heater bands Mold design • Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents • Check that vents are unplugged • Check that gates are unplugged • Enlarge gates and/or runners • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line Shot size • Increase shot size • Adjust transfer position to 98% full • Increase cushion Brittleness Wet material • Check moisture. Degraded/ overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel • Decrease injection speed Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to nonstress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded in stress Fibers/Minerals on Surface or Uneven Surface Appearance Melt temperature too low • Increase melt temperature • Increase mold temperature • Increase injection speed Insufficient packing • Increase hold pressure and time • Increase shot size Processing Guide 5 Problem Cause Solution Sink Marks Part geometry too thick • Reduce wall thickness • Reduce rib thickness Melt too hot • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures • Decrease mold temperature Insufficient material volume • Increase shot size • Increase injection rate • Increase packing pressure • Increase gate size Flash Injection pressure too high • Decrease injection pressure • Increase clamp pressure • Decrease injection rate • Increase transfer position Excess material volume • Adjust transfer position • Decrease pack pressure • Decrease shot size • Decrease injection rate Melt and/or mold too hot • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures • Decrease mold temperature • Decrease screw speed Loose clamp • Reset mold height • Increase clamp tonnage Shrink Too much shrink • Increase cooling time • Decrease mold temperature Too little shrink • Decrease cooling time • Increase mold temperature Troubleshooting Recommendations 6 Nymax Polymer Formulations Troubleshooting Recommendations Problem Cause Solution Burning Process related • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures • Decrease mold temperature • Decrease injection rate Mold design • Clean, widen and increase number of vents • Increase gate size to reduce shear Wet material • Check moisture.

CESA™ Nox Additives Stabilization PRODUCT SELECTION GUIDE Exposure to heat, shear and oxygen during processing causes the creation of free radicals from the polymer. These free radicals rapidly react with other polymer chains, propagating the degradation of the polymer and resulting in yellowing, black specks, loss of melt strength, and mechanical properties in most resins.
