Improves traceability as the color indicates the additive has also been added.

Mechanical stop required: In chair installation and applications, a mechanical stop must be added to the chair design to prevent over-stressing of the spring.

Improve performance, enhance your capability • Meet higher performance requirements with thermoplastic materials • Reduce part weight • Achieve rapid cycle times • Differentiate with expanded manufacturing and product performance capabilities Dramatically increasing impact resistance and stiffness of molded components—without adding significant weight—means that OEMs can meet increasingly demanding application requirements.

GETTING STARTED TIMING IS THE KEY TO A RUNNING COLOR CHANGE Hand Blend • Have the purge blend ready to load • If hopper contains a mixture of resin, color and/ or regrind, it should be run dry or drained before beginning the color change, keeping the screw full so press cycle continues • Run the main resin hopper dry or shut off hopper to hand feed at the throat • Once press is clean, slide hopper in place and proceed with next color-resin blend • The next color can be added while Cesa Clean is still in the barrel • When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot size, parts should be ready to pack (Single) Volumetric/Gravimetric Metering Unit at the Throat • Empty and clean feeder while press continues to run • Add Cesa Clean to the feeder color hopper and calibrate to a 3.0% use rate • When press is clean, start next color • When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot • Note: If an open/unused secondary feeder is installed, use it for the Cesa Clean concentrate Central Blending Unit • Thoroughly clean unit while continuing to mold parts, keeping a resin feed to the press • Using a clean open hopper or regrind hopper, add the Cesa Clean concentrate • Set blender for additive/color to 3.0% • Once press is clean, drain hopper and/or central blending unit while continuing to mold parts • Begin new color and continue to mold parts • When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot Process Adjustments That Can Help • Increase back pressure • Increase screw speed • Increase injection speed (in some tools maximum injection speed can facilitate cleaning) • Reduce mold close time (faster cycle) • Always remember a stock temperature of 400°F is essential When press and tool are clean, return all settings to standard production process profile.

The typical enthusiast is willing to invest extra money into customizing their kayaks with vibrant colors and added accessories.

By choosing TPEs, manufacturers can achieve the desirable flexibility, low modulus, and soft touch properties of vulcanized rubber, while adding processing advantages and the potential for recycling.

During injection molding, longer fibers align and intertwine to form an internal skeletal network, enabling a unique set of performance characteristics, including: • High strength-to-weight ratio which facilitates metal replacement to achieve weight reduction • Added stiffness and strength to carry loads while resisting creep deformation • Increased toughness to absorb impact forces without permanent damage • High cyclical fatigue endurance to resist cracking and crack propagation • Mechanical performance that is retained across a wide temperature range • Improved dimensional stability with nearly isotropic properties and low thermal expansion • Corrosion and chemical resistance Long fiber composites provide a combination of stiffness, strength, and toughness performance enhancements not available together when using other reinforcing methods, while retaining the single- step processing simplicity of injection molding.

Long fibre reinforced materials have an added degree of modelling complexity due to the need to capture the effects of bundling, fibre entanglement and weld lines.

Seller's invoices will include value added tax, where applicable, and such value added tax shall be a separate line item on the invoice. 11.
