In the first step, the first barrel fills the substrate set of
cavities.
Transitions between wall thickness should be gradual
to reduce flow problems such as back fills and gas traps.
This
helps TPE flow into and fill thin walled sections commonly encountered in over-molding.

E-Glass typically is utilized for its high modulus properties as S-Glass has a higher breaking tenacity.

This abundant supply includes thousands of tons of PVB, found in the inner layer of the glass, potentially bound for landfills.
Instead, the outer glass is recycled and the PVB is reclaimed and reprocessed for various uses, including an alternative raw material source for polymers.
Both injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.

• Replace lead while providing uniform shielding
performance
• Radiation shielding up to 140KeV
• Improve glasses design
• Compliance with Radiation Protection Regulation: Adult
eye exposure must be below 20 mSv per calendar year
• Conducted extensive testing to ensure comparable and
uniform shielding performance
• Improved geometric flexibility
• Lowered shielding component costs 30-50% by
eliminating machining and assembly steps (associated
with lead)
• Reduced weight of the glasses and enabled a more
ergonomic design
• Eliminated disposal concerns associated with lead
