Higher mold temperatures usually result in higher cycle times but may improve weld line integrity and part appearance. They also set up faster and are more easily ejected, which may result in reduced cycle times compared to softer materials.

Product Stewardship activities encompassing a life cycle approach, ensure sustainable management of our products and an open dialogue with all interested parties.

Working with a material supplier that has R&D and technical support globally can help overcome that challenge. Materials suppliers with a robust global footprint can help ensure materials are also backed by localized technical support to help with molding trials or to work through manufacturing challenges anywhere in the world.  Most material suppliers offer technical support, but when working with your supplier, be sure to get clarity on local technical support availability.

Ejection needs to work around the cooling lines. Figure 41 shows how the stripper plate works. This is done to ensure the material will not freeze off during the injection cycle.
