ARTISAN™ PRE-COLORED THERMOPLASTICS NYLON (PA6) FORMULATIONS PROCESSING GUIDE 2 Artisan Pre-Colored Thermoplastics Artisan™ Pre-Colored Thermoplastics Artisan™ thermoplastics are vibrant, pre-colored high-gloss, scratch resistant engineered polymers formulated to replace paint for superior results. Can cause issues with color variation, surface defects, loss of properties and may affect the weatherability. Cut vent depths to 0.0007″–0.0015″ Draft Angle Maintain a minimum draft angle of 1° per side 4 Artisan Pre-Colored Thermoplastics Troubleshooting Recommendations Problem Cause Solution Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold too cold • Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures • Increase mold temperature • Increase injection rate • Check thermocouples and heater bands Shot size • Increase shot size • Adjust transfer position to 98% full • Increase cushion Mold design • Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents • Check that vents are unplugged • Check that gates are unplugged • Enlarge gates and/or runners • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line Brittleness Degraded/overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel • Decrease injection speed Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to non-stress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded-in stress Wet material • Check moisture.

Moreover, they can be combined with color into Smartbatch™ concentrates to deliver both the part’s target color and laser marking performance. The activation changes the molecular structure of these additives, causing a color change that provides the vivid contrast of laser marking. The mark can be white or dark in color.

On occasion, Joule RHB products can also be used in bottle polymer destined for water applications, but this usage decision depends on the application tolerance to color which must be determined via marketing specialists prior to any trials. The proprietary ColorMatrix technology has been shown to deliver superior energy saving at bottle blowing whilst at the same time imparting an attractive light blue-shaded color to the preforms (and bottles) without contributing to bottle haze. This is important because it should prevent any undesirable product agglomeration (which would produce sub-standard reheat performance). • Re-establishment of the toner package will be required to achieve proper resin color.
