In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section. To make sure the degating process does not pull a hole in the part, the cross sectional size of the gate should be between 1/10 and 1/4 the thickness of the part wall section where the gate is located. This, plus the high coefficient of friction of SBC based TPEs, can make ejection difficult, especially with higher shrink grades that may shrink onto the core.

Cavity plates, core plates and laminates, as well as thin wall sections. The second most efficient runner cross-section is the modified trapezoid. The efficiency of the design may be verified by recording the time it takes to make a complete color change while producing parts.
