These materials are typically opaque, with a sharp melting point, have good strength, excellent wear performance, and good chemical resistance. Mold Filling Simulation Simulates how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process to validate part design & material solution. If you are not sure where to start or have additional questions about your specific application, we have experts available to point you in the right direction.

T-Spray™ (quaternary ammonium) CavidCide® (Isopropanol) Cidex Plus® (Glutaraldehyde) Acceptable 90–100% Resilience HC Resilience HC Resilience HC Marginal 50–90% PC+PBT PC+PBT PC+ABS PC+PET PC+PBT Poor When this improved chemical resistance is combined with excellent melt flow, flame resistance, UV resistance, and appearance, it’s easy to see why Resilience™ HC Rigid Molding Materials are becoming the materials of choice for rigid medical device housings.

While commodity plastics and engineering plastics can typically maintain their performance in environments up to 100°C and up to 120°C, respectively, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C. Molding these high-temperature thermoplastics requires processing equipment capable of melt temperatures up to 400°C and mold temperatures up to 200°C. It typically works best with a nozzle temperature between 360–400°C and a heated bed of 120°C.

Amorphous resins have a melt range rather than a defined melt point (mp) and a broad glass transition temperature (Tg) range. Melting Point: Melting point is the temperature at which a crystalline polymer becomes a disordered liquid. 4. To mold high-performance thermoplastics, processing equipment must be capable of melt temperatures up to 400°C and mold temperatures up to 200°C.

The new fiber colorant technology combines ColorMatrix liquid concentrates and proprietary high-pressure metering equipment to enable late-stage color injection during melt extrusion spin coloring. Further, several injection points can be added to run multiple colors or additives at the same time on a single extruder to enhance flexibility.
