Viscosity changes also influence other process parameters, such as hold time in the mold and temperature profiles, impacting the total cycle time of the process
Ensure that cooling in the molds is operating efficiently and is balanced, and plan on revising the injection and temperature profiles
Maintaining brand color equity, part dimensions, and mechanical properties are areas of concern when PCR is included at 30% or more in the molded part.

Sheets or panels of these materials are easily overmolded in existing high-volume production processes such as Direct Long Fiber Thermoplastic (DLFT) molding, SMC, and injection molding.
LFTs are fiber reinforced thermoplastic pellets used in injection molding machines.

Most fluoropolymers, other than PTFE and polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), can be melt processed using conventional thermoplastic extrusion or molding techniques.
PTFE can be applied as a coating, extruded as a paste, or molded using compression molding or metal powder-processing techniques.
