As shown in figure 2, in high shear rate regimes, the viscosity is at the
lower end of the spectrum which helps the TPE to flow into and fill the thin-walled sections commonly
encountered during overmolding.
ENGINEERING PLASTIC SUBTRATES
There are a number of plastic substrates that are used for various consumer applications.

In a balanced runner system, molten material flows into each cavity at equal times and pressure.
For conventional cold runner tools, full-round runners are best because they provide the lease resistance to flow and minimize cooling in the runner.

Since maintaining a good melt flow
can sometimes be challenging with effect pigments,
our team of material experts from Avient Design
can provide support to reduce new product design
errors by linking design with manufacturability and to
speed up the design process.
Options for black, white and color markings are available on opaque but
also transparent plastics.
Sortable Black Colorants
Black plastic can be challenging to detect by infrared
sensors during the sorting process resulting in
the plastic being directed to waste instead of the
relevant recycled polymer stream.
