Newlin serves on the Board of Directors of Black Hills Corporation and Oshkosh Corporation. Six Sigma Master Black Belt, General Electric Company Plastics Business, March 2001 to December 2002. For SARs granted during 2011 and 2010, the option pricing model used was the Black-Scholes method.

They are available in black (RB) and sand (RS) colors.

Colorant Chromatics™ Conductive Formulations: for controlled dispersion and high-quality carbon black to enable high-temperature extrusion and molding processes with higher line speed and no drool for critical applications in the petroleum and the chemical processing industry.

Higher levels of regrind are tolerated in black materials.

High-Performance Polymer Solutions for In Vitro Diagnosis (IVD) and Labware Applications, including laser welding and laser marking, customized colorants and functional additives, low retention additives, nucleating/clarifying agents, conductive black formulations, engineered polymers, and thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs.) 

It is better to fill out the part at slower speeds in-order to let any compressed air escape, and to get the best surface finish on the part.3 • Using all of the previous settings, record the Transfer Pressure, Fill Time, and Injection speed • Reduce the injection velocity by 10% and record the same values Transfer Pressure (psi) Fill Time (sec) Injection Velocity (in/sec) Relative Shear Rate Relative Viscosity 1238 0.20 8.00 5.00 247.60 1125 0.22 7.00 4.55 247.50 1058 0.25 6.00 4.00 264.50 960 0.35 5.00 2.86 336.12 870 0.45 4.00 2.22 391.65 780 0.58 3.00 1.72 452.59 690 0.85 2.00 1.18 586.78 600 1.35 1.00 0.74 810.45 510 2.50 0.75 0.40 1275.83 420 5.23 0.50 0.19 2198.34 330 9.56 0.25 0.10 3157.99 240 15.26 0.10 0.07 3667.49 FIGURE 47 - Injection Speed 22 Gravi-Tech • Keep reducing the injection velocity until a fill time of 10-15 seconds is reached • Calculate the Relative Viscosity for each of the Injection Speeds using the equation above (Transfer Pressure * Fill Time) • Calculate the Relative Shear Rate for each of the injection speeds using the equation (1/Fill Time) • Plot the points on a graph and find the optimum velocity • The optimum velocity will be where the curve starts to level out In figure 48 above, the optimum velocity is where the plotted line crosses the black trend line; therefore the optimum velocity would be about 1.00 in/sec.

ColorForward™ Forecasts a Focus on Mid-Tone Colors for 2025

Collaborative Custom Color Expertise – Enables manufacturers to offer realistic training experiences by creating custom-tailored skin tones; thermochromatic technology enables model to change color in response to heat or cold, simulating hypothermia, fever or burns; can also be used to design distinguishable looks to drive brand equity

This tone allows the materials to showcase a natural aesthetic or be colored to match design specifications with traditional TPE colorants or sustainable color options from Avient.
