Processing & Design Guides
Applicable to multiple products; injection molding parameters, startup and shutdown, mold design, and troubleshooting recommendations for Edgetek™ High Performance Formulations
https://www.avient.com/products/polymer-colorants/high-temperature-color-concentrates/colorant-chromatics-peek-colorants
Colorant Chromatics™ PEEK Colorants are available in a range of standard colors or they can be designed according to your Pantone, Munsell or RAL color specifications.
You can expect uniform and consistent dispersion to improve the processing efficiency and aesthetics of your injection molded and extruded parts.
Key considerations should include addition ratio, screw design, extrusion or cycle speed and other factors, such as wall thickness and part design.

This innovative solution helped Resol to win two international awards recognizing the inventive design and use of engineering thermoplastics.
Awards for the Vela table include the German Design Council’s Interior Innovation Award 2014, and the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Best of Category award in its 2014 Product Design Competition.
Based in Girona, Spain, the Resol furniture company includes Resinas Olot, a leading global manufacturer of plastic furniture for outdoor, office and residential use, and Plasfur by Resol, which offers injection molding and manufacturing services to customers in various industries.

This masterbatch helps manufacturers to efficiently injection mold attractive parts that appear to be covered with textile.
In addition, fabric graining and color can be tailored to meet designers’ recommendations.
Fabric FX also adds design flexibility and greater efficiency, overcoming the fact that fabric doesn’t bond easily with intricate curves and shapes, thereby limiting design options and increasing scrap rates.

These unidirectional fiber-reinforced strands are then cut into 1/2 inch (12 mm) composite pellets for convenient processing into net shapes via injection molding.
In conjunction with the advantages of organic design possibilities from the injection molding forming process, it is common to see a 40-50% weight reduction in applications when switching from metal incumbents (aluminum, magnesium).
Encompasses skilled technicians, designers and engineers, all educated specifically in long fiber technology and ready to help.

Mold design also influences the optimization
of weight reduction, surface aesthetics and cell
uniformity.
When designing the cooling
channels, they must provide sufficient cooling to
avoid post-expansion, particularly in thick-wall
parts, and even more so, when using an exothermic
CFA.
INJECTION PRESSURE
The injection pressure must be set high enough to
obtain a high injection rate (Figure 3).
