A larger processing window will account for the lot to lot changes between materials, without having to make process changes.3 Setting the Beginning Variables • Injection Pressure = Maximum of machine - Should not be pressure limited • Injection Velocity = Maximum of machine - This is for the injection velocity curve starting point - If flashing is an issue start slower and then increase • Injection Cut-Off Time = 15 seconds - This is only a limiting factor, needs to be above 10 seconds for velocity graph • Hold Pressure = 0 - Need to get 95% full part with a hold pressure of 0 • Hold Time = 10-15 seconds - Need to ensure gate is frozen • Screw Speed = 90% of Maximum - Unless shear sensitive material, if shear sensitive, set RPMs to optimum • Cooling Time = 10–15 seconds • Shot Size = 50% of calculated part volume • Decompression = .25" • Transfer Position = High enough to ensure a cushion - Cushion size does not matter but there must be a cushion to keep a constant pressure on the melt during hold time - Typically 0.25" is sufficient • Back Pressure = 800-1000 plastic pressure - 100–150 hydraulic pressure - Unless specified by material data sheet Determining Shot Size The shot size should be determined by calculating the combined volume of the parts and the runner system. If the part begins to flash and there are still sinks, the problem is most likely not insufficient hold pressure, but rather could be material related Gate Freeze Study The gate freeze study is performed to conclude at what time the gate freezes.

Aan het begin van elke vergadering moet er ook een geheugensteuntje zijn over de doelen van de vergadering.

As the CEO, change of this importance must begin with me—my direction, decisions and actions,” he explained. Our commitment to diversity begins at the highest levels of our organization, for example having 42% female or diverse board members. CCS training is provided to every member of the Avient salesforce beginning in their onboarding process and continues thereafter throughout their careers.

These core values, which begin with our individual decisions and actions, focus our attention on putting the customer first by creating genuine value through collaboration, innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence. We have elected to transition to the standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption, but as a result of no material impact from the adoption of the standard, we will not have an adjustment to our beginning retained earnings balance. We will recognize an adjustment of $17.0 million to beginning retained earnings upon required adoption of this standard on January 1, 2018 from transactions completed as of December 31, 2017.
