A worn or contaminated check ring can limit the machine's ability to hold pressure and maintain a cushion. The sealing capability of the check ring should be verified by observing the machine's ability to maintain a cushion position. SEBS TPEs that have been processed at too high a temperature will have a burnt odor (degradation) and in the worst case become tacky and bleed oil.

Patterson Becomes CEO of PolyOne Corporation; Shareholders Approve All Proposals at 2014 Annual Meeting We have a proven strategy, a superb team, and a track record of executing with excellence. The achievements we’ve accomplished at PolyOne have been remarkable and have clearly generated tremendous value for those who believed in us.

On December 4, 2024, we presented our new strategy at the New York Stock Exchange during our Investor Day. We have conducted extensive portfolio prioritization and identified growth vectors to both catalyze growth in our core and to build businesses in high growth markets supported by secular trends. All of this is built upon Avient’s proven Foundational Strengths, which we have worked to establish and refine over the last 25 years.

Runners • Full-round runners or modified trapezoid runners are the best designs. • Half-round runners are not recommended. • Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended. • Runner diameters should not be less than the part thickness. • Runner diameter should be 1.5x the part thickness. • Step each 90° bend in the system down in size. • Place vents at each 90° intersection and vent to atmosphere. • Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer. Cold Slug Wells • Place these wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first emerging from the nozzle. • Place wells at every 90° bend in the runner system. • Well depths approximately 2.5 times the diameter of the runner provide the best results. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

Given our unique position in the value chain and our differentiated portfolio of materials solutions, we have a great opportunity to positively impact our planet and all its inhabitants. In addition to operating global sustainable business practices, we also have the distinct privilege of leveraging materials science to help our customers enhance the sustainability of their own products.

Fast cycle times are achieved with this process, and the process can be automated. Vacuum bagging enables fast cycle times, with simpler equipment requirements compared to other methods.  CFRTP can also be molded on or into thermoplastic structures via hybrid compression and injection overmolding to create locally reinforced, molded components in a one-step process.
