This includes physical testing, rheological behavior, thermal and moisture examination, microscopy, flammability testing, and weathering/UV exposure (QUV and Xenon Arc). • Fiber reinforcement percentage (ranging from 20–70% fiber content, by weight) • Additive technologies (color, UV enhancement, flame retardancy, heat stabilization, etc.) These tools include mold-filling simulations to study fill patterns (including predicted pack and cooling) of the geometry and predict knit line locations at resin flow fronts to help ensure you are directing the best fiber alignment (strength) in the highest stress areas that your product endures when in use.
