High performance without secondary
operations – When using Stat-Tech material,
painting and vacuum metallization are not
necessary in order to achieve the performance you
need from your ADAS systems, therefore cutting
down on the processing times and costs associated
with using aluminum.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Consistent coloring and improved
homogenization with the polymer for more
efficient processing and waste reduction
• Opaque PSU/PES/PPSU masterbatches
available with shorter lead times in a range
of readily available standard colors
• Minimum order quantities as low as 5kg (10lbs)
for improved inventory control
• Robust colorant formulations mean zero
disruption to existing molding processes,
allowing manufacturers to bring products
to market faster and without investing in
new machinery

In order to optimize its profit
margins, the company sought to control system costs by
avoiding secondary assembly and handling.

In order for ghosting to occur, these 5 factors must
co-exist.

If filling problems exist in thin walled parts, adding flow channels or minor changes in wall thickness can alter the flow.
In order to maintain high shear, minimize residence times and promote flow, the passages should have a diameter of 0.250" to 0.375".
The efficiency of the design may be verified by recording the time it takes to make a complete color change while producing parts.

It’s important to note that abrasion resistance can be improved through changes in material formulation.
Therefore, these gains had to
be balanced (or ponderated, where the results
are weighted against a standard) as a function of
the frequency at which they occurred in order to
understand the true impacts on health and safety.
