By varying texture, a material without a natural matte finish can be made to look dull, light refraction can be adjusted, and grip of the application can be enhanced.
If a matte finish is required, a rougher mold texture should be used (or a GLS product such as GLS Versalloy™ TPV Alloys, which naturally produce a matte surface).

Follow up by purging machine with general purpose PP • Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products • General ventilation is suggested Shut Down • Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP • All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon shut down • Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear • Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner • When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual product from the manifold MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Cold Slug Wells • Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first emerging from the nozzle • Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system • Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best results Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side.
Half-round or standard trapezoid runners are not recommended. • Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended • Each 90° bend in the system should step down in size • Vents should be placed at the intersection of each 90° bend off of the cold slug well and vented to atmosphere • Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.
