It wanted to adapt the existing mold to accommodate the new material so it could avoid the time and capital expense of having a new one built.
Again working in tandem, the Mars Otomotiv engineers and Avient’s technical team were able to alter the mold so it could process the thermoplastic in place of aluminum.
Today, Mars Otomotiv benefits from the simplified logistics of molding polymer heat sinks in-house – including reduced order lead time, improved on-time order completion and more free-working capital.

Orientation of reinforcing fibers within injection molded components also significantly influences composite strength.
Fiber length attrition can occur from shear in the injection molding press or from tight runner radii and improper gating in the mold.
As reinforcements align in the direction of polymer flow as molds fill, this can lead to anisotropic properties.

Their flowability, combined with injection and impact strength, make them a good fit for complex thin-wall moldings while also providing design and processing freedom.
As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.”
Moreover, molded-in colors eliminate the release of potentially hazardous volatile organic compounds (VOC) associated with painting.

ColorMatrix™ Eze™ is a process aid that reduces surface friction to offer efficiencies during injection and blow molding processes.
This slip agent advances mold release resulting in reduced thread pulls and less blow line jams, enabling faster cycle times, improved production rates, and reduced waste.
Improves mold release

Ergonomic enhancement is also playing an increasingly important role in packaging applications, and TPEs can be used in coextruded blow molding to enhance the grip of bottles or can be overmolded onto caps, closures and containers to provide an ergonomic grip.
Bottles: TPEs can enhance the interaction between package and consumer in coextruded blow molding.
GLS and Kautex Machines, a leader in extrusion blow-molding equipment, jointly developed a solution for co-extruding an ultra-thin outer layer of translucent, customized Dynalloy™ TPE onto recycled or virgin HDPE resin.
