Chemical foaming agents are successfully used in plastics to cut weight from parts without compromising mechanical properties. They are available in liquid or solid form and can result in 10-20% less plastic needed. Lastly, molded-in color (MIC) metallics offer a means of eliminating paint resulting in reduced VOCs and fewer processing steps for energy savings and a lower carbon footprint.  

Polymers can improve heat management, reduce weight, and expand design freedom While aluminum can efficiently dissipate heat, the size required for an aluminum heat sink can create design and weight challenges. Case Study Smart Alternative Yields Savings, Efficiency for Mars Otomotiv Replacing metal cuts heat sink costs for LED lighting assemblies.

It’s the highest honor a non-sales associate can receive at our company. The new lab and plant will conduct cutting edge chemistry testing and evaluations to help customers tackle and overcome the challenge of plastics recycling and the goal of a circular economy. Note that this can include those in the planning and/or implementation phases.

These blends create parts that can withstand higher temperatures than standard PEEK, with better post-processing shrinkage control and improved colorability.     This higher Tg frees manufacturers to design parts that can withstand greater operating temperatures and high-temperature sterilization without warping. In addition, compared to PEEK, the materials can be processed at lower temperatures to help manufacturers save energy during injection molding.  

Without it, the company faced the prospect of having to use another production technique that would cost more and take longer. These savings help the company to achieve high margins on its top-of-the-line sprayers. Customers can keep a firm grasp of the sprayer to prevent dropping or twisting.

It can also be easily colored for excellent aesthetics. Cost savings: Molding the bumpers separately and inserting them into the housing keeps costs down yet provides the seamless appearance of overmolding. Creating a two cavity tool for the bumpers saved PTA 70% over the cost of an overmolding tool, and reduced scrap rates typical with overmolded housings by 80%.
