NYMAX™ POLYMER FORMULATIONS PRIME & RECYCLED NYLON THERMOPLASTICS PROCESSING GUIDE 2 Nymax Polymer Formulations Nymax™ and Nymax™ REC Formulations Nymax™ thermoplastics include prime and recycled nylon formulations in both unfilled grades and with various levels of glass fiber and mineral reinforcements. Additional draft may be required for grained/textured surfaces. 4 Nymax Polymer Formulations Incomplete Fill Melt and/or mold too cold • Increase nozzle and barrel temperatures • Check thermocouples and heater bands Mold design • Enlarge or widen vents and increase number of vents • Check that vents are unplugged • Check that gates are unplugged • Enlarge gates and/or runners • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Increase wall thickness to move gas trap to parting line Shot size • Adjust transfer position to 98% full • Increase cushion Brittleness Wet material • Check moisture. Degraded/ overheated material • Decrease melt temperature • Decrease back pressure • Use smaller barrel • Decrease injection speed Gate location and/or size • Relocate gate to nonstress area • Increase gate size to allow higher flow rate and lower molded in stress Fibers/Minerals on Surface or Uneven Surface Appearance Melt temperature too low • Increase injection speed Insufficient packing • Increase hold pressure and time Processing Guide 5 Sink Marks Part geometry too thick • Reduce wall thickness • Reduce rib thickness Melt too hot • Decrease nozzle and barrel temperatures Insufficient material volume • Increase packing pressure • Increase gate size Flash Injection pressure too high • Decrease injection pressure • Increase clamp pressure • Increase transfer position Excess material volume • Adjust transfer position • Decrease pack pressure • Decrease shot size Melt and/or mold too hot • Decrease screw speed Loose clamp • Reset mold height • Increase clamp tonnage Shrink Too much shrink Too little shrink • Decrease cooling time 6 Nymax Polymer Formulations Burning Process related Mold design • Clean, widen and increase number of vents • Increase gate size to reduce shear Wet material • Check moisture.

In a balanced runner system, the melt flows into each cavity at equal times and pressure. A good starting point for the gate width should be 1.0 - 1.5 times the gate depth. If possible, utilize a system or component supplier with experience in styrenic TPEs.
