Recently developed Avient technology yields foam with smaller and more uniform cells so that processors can use 10-20% less plastic to create components that are visually identical to heavier, solid-walled parts. Improves melt flow HYDROCEROL™ chemical foaming agents help to reduce the weight of automotive plastic parts like dashboard carriers, interior trim parts, door panels or glove boxes.

Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic Plastic Waste Additionally, senior management reviews free cash flow, which is defined by the Company as cash flows from continuing operations less capital expenditures.

Homepage // News Center // PolyOne Highlights New Automotive Solutions at VDI Engineering Plastics Conference MANNHEIM, Germany – PolyOne Corporation (NYSE: POL), a premier global provider of specialized polymer materials, services and solutions, is exhibiting its specialty portfolio of technologies to automotive designers and engineers this week at the 2014 VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference.  The VDI Plastics in Automotive Engineering conference is being held this week in Mannheim, Germany.

It should be dictated by the structural and flow requirements of the part. This will allow fluids to bead and flow off of the product. If the hole is too close to the edge, the material may not flow well around it.

Open Gate The gate in this type of hot runner stays open for the flow of plastic under pressure. FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES Flow Rate Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore, with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the material is reduced. If the gate is not frozen and the pressure is removed, the plastic can “back-flow” into the runner.

The number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me); and 2.

This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic. Most TPE compounds have fairly high mold shrinkage in the flow direction with minimal shrinkage in the cross flow direction.
