They also require precise venting and vacuum to release off-gassing during the chemical curing process and must withstand temperatures more than twice that of TPE molds (170°F vs. 320–420°F). Some products made with LSR require a post cure—heating at high temperatures for a determined period of time—to achieve final dimensions, ensure certain mechanical properties or remove volatiles in applications that have specific regulatory compliance requirements.

Vents should be placed at the intersection of each 90° bend off of the cold slug well and vented to atmosphere. 5. 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.

They realized they might be able to shave off even more weight and improve performance by replacing the aluminum braces with a continuous-fiber composite if they could find a material with an exceptional strength- to-weight ratio, high flexural stiffness, good torsional rigidity, and superior fatigue strength.

Avient determined that the manufacturer required a material with a unique combination of properties, including: • Processing ease – high flow rate, ability to fill multi-cavity molds, thin-wall capabilities • Superior toughness – strength and durability to ensure dimensional integrity of the part • Repeatable performance – consistent conductivity for accurate measurement of liquids While several off-the-shelf compounds were evaluated, a new formulation was developed to meet the manufacturer’s specific needs as well as provide signifi cant benefi ts in reduced cycle time, increased production and reduced scrap rate.

Unlike surface treatments, they are blended into the polymer during the spin-dyeing process and are more resistant to washing and wearing off.

Since the color is incorporated into the plastic matrix, it also prevents color peel-off and flaking.

The concept was born out of a desire to replace traditional wax, which is messy and rubs off over time.

Preserving Valued Community Resources In partnership with United Way, Avient associates organized a cleanup event to remove trash from Turkey Creek in Birmingham, Alabama. In addition, they again supported the Birmingham Zoo cleanup efforts, removing three tons of natural vegetation and structural materials from the Komodo exhibit. We encourage our people to help create more sustainable communities by providing 16 hours of paid time off each year to volunteer for a cause of their preference.
