KEY REQUIREMENTS
WHY AVIENT?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-09/industrial-springs-application-bulletin2020.pdf
Traditional steel coil and elastomeric springs
have a few shortcomings.
Heavy steel springs
can corrode and lose performance after multiple
fatigue cycles.
Make the switch to Avient’s thermoset composite
springs, engineered with our proprietary resin/
fiber reinforcement technologies, to achieve long
lasting, consistent performance in a variety of
vibratory conveyor applications:
• High strength-to-weight ratio—less than half
the weight of steel
• Long-term corrosion resistance
• Exceptional fatigue resistance to withstand
billions of cycles
• Deep deflection
• Excellent interlaminar shear strength
• Creep resistance
• Minimal work hardening
• Static electricity control
• Anti-microbial finishes for sanitary
environments
With extensive experience in composite spring
technology, a wide range of rectangular sizes,
and rapid, customized product development
capabilities, we can help you optimize your
industrial equipment for reliable, repeatable,
efficient performance.

Follow up by purging machine with general
purpose PP
• Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products
• General ventilation is suggested
Shut Down
• Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP
• All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon
shut down
• Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear
• Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner
• When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual
product from the manifold
MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Cold Slug Wells
• Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first
emerging from the nozzle
• Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system
• Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best
results
Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side.
Tool Steel
• P20 tool steel is acceptable when proper processing and shut down procedures
are followed
• Chrome plating or PH stainless steel is preferred for all halogen-based systems
• The use of stainless steel in hot runner systems is highly suggested
• Avoid the use of aluminum when designing production tools
Vents
• Place vents at the end of fill and anywhere potential knit/weld lines will occur
• All vents need to be vented to atmosphere
• Cut vent depths to 0.0010"–0.0015" with a minimum 0.040" land length.
