Selecting an area of the part surface that is hidden or covered for your gate location can help, but that isn’t always possible. They should be located at the end of flow or around the perimeter of the part, if possible.  When designing an overmold, allowing the steel of the second shot tool to crush into the substrate will hold the substrate in place, create a clean line between TPE and substrate, and create venting in locations where other vent methods will not work.

The orientation, location, and volume of the fibers contribute to the strength and performance of the laminate structure. The 6-ply sample has the highest flexural modulus when loaded in the longitudinal direction due to the higher ratio of 0-degree layers, as well as the location of the 0-degree fibers outside of the neutral axis. Fiber orientation, fiber location and fiber volume are three key variables in composite laminate design that affect the performance of the finished composite.

In contrast, MPS shelters are lightweight, portable and can be constructed in hours, rather than days, allowing soldiers to quickly deploy and establish positions of relative safety – even in remote locations. Edwards Design & Fabrication, Inc., established in 1994 and located in Meridianville, AL, specializes in the fabrication of equipment for commercial businesses and government research and development organizations.

As with all Avient ColorWorks facilities, the new location will offer Color, Material, and Finish (CMF) trend consultation, in-person or virtual color development, rapid prototyping, and more. In addition to the two sites in Latin America, the company has four additional locations worldwide, including Merate (Italy), Singapore, and United States sites in West Chicago, Illinois, and Phoenix, Arizona.  

Mevopur colorants and functional additives are manufactured in four sites located in Europe, North America, and Asia. For healthcare companies, it means the selected custom colorant or functional additive can be procured from the Mevopur site most conveniently located for the converter, reducing the risk of supply disruption that can be caused by cross-border trade restrictions.
