A high melt flow rate for the solution reduces packing and cooling time requirements to improve overall molding cycle times. Improved flow = lower unit costs: High flow characteristics of the Avient solution in combination with a TandemMold result in doubled production volume for a 50% reduction in machine-related costs per part. Faster processing = lower energy costs: Higher melt flow rates enable shorter injection molding cycles, resulting in reduced energy requirements.
