By using OnColor IR Sortable Black, black polymers will be detectable by NIR sorting equipment, allowing packaging to be sorted and sent for recycling instead of landfill or incineration, which is a key requirement in the circular economy system. Some of the information arises from laboratory work with small-scale equipment which may not provide a reliable indication of performance or properties obtained or obtainable on larger-scale equipment. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

GLS International Inc. is part of GLS Corporation, a world-wide leader in TPEs that is located in McHenry, USA. The barrel temperature of the injection molding machine was set from 180°C to 235°C (360°F to 455°F) and the injection velocity from 15 mm/sec to 65 mm/sec. TPE-2 TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.

However, it is complex and requires advanced data to more accurately predict how a material will realistically perform in an end-use application. In addition to providing a robust way to account for differing gate locations from the manufacturing process, Hexagon’s Digimat multiscale modelling approach provides significant improvements in the accuracy of the stiffness and failure. Hexagon’s Manufacturing Intelligence division provides solutions that use data from design and engineering, production and metrology to make manufacturing smarter.
