• Replace aluminium alloy
• Reduce thickness and weight of fan blade
• Withstand 920 Pa of static pressure, high relative humidity
(90-95%), and max temperature of 104ºF
• Redesigned the 1600mm blade utilizing 3D modeling and
mold flow analysis services from Avient Design
• Simulated mechanical load to determine which new
design would provide optimal performance
• Increased strength using a carbon fiber grade, enabling
injection-moldable parts and streamlined production
• Reduced blade thickness to 35% of the original and
blade weight from 7.71 lbs to 1.76 lbs (77% decrease)
• Improved overall efficiency of fan with a thinner, lighter
blade that cuts through the air

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents for Injection Molding Technical Bulletin.pdf
Key factors contributing to the fine cell
structure are the particle size of the blowing agent,
the dispersing capability of the molding machine,
the decomposition rate of the foaming agent, the
melt viscosity and the molecular structure of the
thermoplastic resin itself.
ADDITION LEVELS OF FOAMING AGENTS
Both the foaming agent and the thermoplastic resins
are metered into the injection molding machine.
Compared to conventional thermoplastic foam
injection molding (TFIM) without mold expansion,
CBE creates a lower-density foam with an increased
stiffness-to-weight ratio.
