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.

FORMULATIONS
PROCESSING GUIDE
Injection Molding Parameters
Maxxam™ FR flame retardant polyolefin formulations are engineered to meet stringent flammability
performance requirements.
Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended
• Each 90° bend in the system should step down in size
• Vents should be placed at the intersection of each 90° bend off of the cold
slug well and vented to atmosphere
• Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.
Vents should be placed at the intersection of each 90° bend in the runner
system off of the cold slug well and vented to atmosphere

This formulation is created for high-pressure
injection molding and is integrated directly into
plastic materials.
It works by migrating to the
surface during molding to facilitate a smooth
demolding experience.
Evoluscend can help improve final product quality
by preventing mold damage and contamination.
