To make a plastic compound electrically conductive, there must be enough conductive filler particles—and they must be dispersed well enough throughout the polymer—to form a network through which an electrical current can flow. In polymer compounds, solid glass beads improve mold flow and surface appearance. In the mold, use general purpose nozzles (not tapered nozzles) and large, free-flow gates.

Improve the flow characteristics of plastics during process and enhance both appearance and function

Material switch lowers costs, achieves higher flow versus previous TPV The elastomeric material, used to overmold a cuff on the end of the hose, demonstrated inconsistent quality and subpar flow properties. Higher productivity: The improved flow properties of the Versalloy solution enabled the hose manufacturer to increase throughput by two seconds, which in turn reduced total system costs.

Making the Switch from Metal to Plastic Using Long Fiber Thermoplastics Modeled performance of the design with advanced testing (Finite Element Analysis, mold flow, burnoff) Relieved performance fears with mold flow analysis and hands-on technology support

Article Explore the Benefits of Laser Marking on Plastic Caps and Closures Learn about the key benefits of laser marking and differences between top laser technologies.

Inadequate ink flow.  No ink flow. Paper absorbing plasticizer. 

The material flow may be estimated by eye or by using flow analysis programs. To minimize obstructions (flowing around cores or pins) in the flow path. To minimize flow path length.

Dyes are most actively attacking the plasticizers between 280° and 320°F. Use a soft- to medium-durometer squeegee to print at a quick speed, which keeps the ink flowing. To set the pressure on a squeegee, print the ink through the screen with multiple passes to get the ink flowing.

While the near-term presents macro-economic uncertainties, we remain confident in our ability to generate strong free cash flow, continue to invest in innovation for the long-term, and return value to shareholders."  Plastic Waste Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future; the effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks, including recessionary conditions; the current and potential future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows; changes in polymer consumption growth rates and laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs; unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters; an inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services; our ability to continue to pay regular quarterly cash dividends, including at the increased rate, and the amounts and timing of any future dividends; information systems failures and cyberattacks; amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; the ability to obtain required regulatory approvals and otherwise consummate the proposed sale of the Distribution business; and other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions.
