It also includes mating plastic threads formed during assembly.
This helps to reduce added compressive loads or pressures on the plastic.
The heat will melt the plastic around FIGURE 9 - Proper boss design FIGURE 10 - Boss design guidelines ESCR Design Guide 4 it, allowing the plastic to relax, reflow, and solidify.

Options for black, white and color markings are available on opaque but also transparent plastics.
Custom concentrates are developed in our color matching labs to match the target color in the recycled polymer batch used by the plastic converter.
Sortable Black Colorants Black plastic can be challenging to detect by infrared sensors during the sorting process resulting in the plastic being directed to waste instead of the relevant recycled polymer stream.

Antimony trioxide has the unique ability to make halogen-based plastic additives more effective in reducing the flammability of the finished plastics.
ATO is only used as an industrial intermediate in manufacturing locations designed for the handling of plastics and chemicals.
USES AND APPLICATIONS Antimony trioxide is predominantly used in plastics where resistance to ignition and flammability are required.
