MOLD DESIGN Types of Molds GLS TPEs can be molded in two- and three-plate molds. Two-shot molds and insert molds can also be used. Suggested initial start-up conditions for injection molding Setting Mold Temperatures Mold temperatures should be set above the dew point temperature in the molding area.

SMARTBATCH™ COMBINATION COLORANTS & ADDITIVES Blow molding optimization for color and performance KEEPING IT SIMPLE IS OFTEN THE BETTER SOLUTION. Ideas include: • Molded-in metallic • Granite or frost effect • Glow-in-the-dark • Laser marking Optimize Processing Time is money—customized solutions can help you reduce cycle times and handle color changeovers more quickly. We’ll provide step-by-step guidance, and visualization through in-house sampling with various processing techniques: • Injection stretch blow molding (ISBM) • Extrusion blow molding (EBM) – up to four layers • Injection molding Our polymer science proficiency, colorants and additives capability, and in-house color design service make us a powerful collaborator during the complete blow molding process.

Colorant Chromatics™ Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive for high-temperature polymers integrates directly into plastic materials and migrates to the surface during molding to facilitate a smooth demolding experience. Key features of Evoluscend™ non-PFAS mold release additive include: Limiting Damage: By acting as a lubricant, Evoluscend™ additive can help limit mold damage, supporting the longevity and quality of the mold and the plastic products
