Gating from the thickest area of your part to the thinnest area of your part is the optimal way to fill, and balancing your runners will create part consistency in all cavities.

Here, Citroën developed air filled panels that repel dents and dings while adding a customized design element – fulfilling two key consumer desires.

Cutlery manufacturer expands product line with dishwasher-safe knife handles featuring stainless steel-filled Gravi-Tech™ compound

Talc-Filled Polypropylene for Underhood Automotive HVAC Uses 

Higher hardness and filled grades usually have lower ultimate elongation and therefore are more easily degated.

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoset composites combine high molecular weight resins with glass or carbon fibers. Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are produced by pulling continuous glass rovings through thermoplastic resin to impregnate the fibers and form a unidirectional tape. The graph above shows the result of tensile load applied longitudinally to three laminate samples made with Polystrand™ continuous glass fiber reinforced polypropylene in 2-, 4- and 6-ply configurations, illustrated below.

A good example of translucency is stained glass, as opposed to smoked glass (transparent) and painted glass (opaque).

GlasArmor™ Ballistic Resistant Panels are constructed from layers of 0°/90° woven E-glass fiber reinforcements with a proprietary thermoset resin system. Glass Content Avient’s reinforced composite technologies use carbon, glass and aramid fibers with custom formulated thermoset or thermoplastic resins in continuous forming processes
