Wear generally occurs around the gate; thus inserts are recommended for large-volume production. Decrease mold temperature Insufficient Material Volume 1. Increase transfer position Excess Material Volume 1.

Whether the volume is measured in bags or tons, with minimum order quantities down to 50 pounds, Avient is the innovative partner for your business.

From sweeping curves to intricate details, designs that would be cost prohibitive to machine or difficult to cast in metals are easy and inexpensive to repeatedly produce in high volumes using injection molding processing. More components can also be produced from lighter weight materials on a cubic volume basis.  

For high volume production, the initial expense of quality tooling is a sound investment. Since TPEs are slightly compressible in the molten state, larger runner volumes can cause hot tip gates to drool after the mold is opened.

When it comes to composite manufacturing, there are hundreds of ways polymer composites can be manufactured depending on the properties, shape, and volume needed for the application.

One of the most commonly cited advantages of TPEs is the ability to produce products via high-volume injection molding, which is an extremely cost- effective process. This means a large volume of product (anywhere from tens of thousands to over a million units) can be created by heating the TPE blend and injecting it into a mold, where the TPEs cool and form the desired shape.

The extruder is never contaminated with color which translates into faster, more efficient color changeovers that make low volume and custom color production a reality. LIQUID FIBER PRODUCT FEATURES Multiple color production • Depending on the manufacturing set-up, several injection points can be added to enable multiple color production at the same time on a single extruder Batch size flexibility • Fiber producers can manufacture anything from a few kilograms to hundreds of tons using the same simple process Rapid color changes • No extruder contamination and easy color-on, color-off operation increases color change speed Waste reduction • Rapid color changes, precise metering and the ability to adjust color in-line reduces waste during color changeovers Continuous metering & long spin pack life • High pigment and dye concentrations mean fewer pack changes are required • Where color is running low for larger volume runs, low level metering sensors alert operators and packs can be changed without disrupting production In-line IV adjustment • Specialist additives are available to adjust Intrinsic Viscosity (IV) in-line for rPET applications • These additives are available as single products, or can be combined with color to create a multi-functional formulation Color design service • ColorMatrix offers a dedicated color design service to help shorten product development cycles and enhance market agility Liquid color processing • Formulations are stable at temperatures up to 60°C and retain good flow properties at temperatures as low as 10°C • These formulations can help lower yarn friction and abrasion, and there is no fuming or evaporation during production COLORMATRIX FLEXCART LIQUID DOSING SYSTEMS Designed to optimize the benefits of liquid colorant and additive technologies, each ColorMatrix™ FlexCart™ model is highly flexible, and offers high-level dosing accuracy and controllability for all injection molding and extrusion applications.

The unique manufacturing process yields uniform quality throughout the panel, ensuring complete resin impregnation, high fiber volume content, low void content, uniform thickness, and core bonding throughout.
