Equipment
• Feed throats smaller than 2.5" may cause bridging due to pellet size
- Larger feed throats will be more advantageous with long fiber EMI shielding resins
• General purpose metering screw is recommended
- Mixing/barrier screws are not recommended
• L/D ratio
- 18:1–20:1 (40% feed, 40% transition, 20% metering)
• Low compression ratio
- 2:1–3:1
• Deep flights recommended
- Metering zone 3.5 mm
- Feed zone 7.5 mm
• Check ring
- Three-piece, free-flowing check ring
• General purpose nozzle (large nozzle tips are recommended)
- Minimum orifice diameter of 7/32"
- Tapered nozzles are not recommended for long fiber EMI shielding resins
• Clamp tonnage:
- 2.5–5 tons/in2
Gates
• Large, free-flow gating recommended
- 0.25" x 0.125" land length
- 0.5" gate depth
Runners
• Full round gate design
• No sharp corners
• Minimum of 0.25" diameter
• Hot runners can be used
PROCESSING
Screw Speed Slower screw speeds are recommended to protect fiber length
Back Pressure Lower back pressure is recommended to protect fiber length
Pack Pressure 60–80% of max injection pressure
Hold Pressure 40–60% of max injection pressure
Cool Time 10–30 seconds (depends on part geometry and dimensional stability)
PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS
Recommended – retain fiber length (maximize conductivity)
• Low shear process
• Low screw speed and screw RPM
• Slow Injection speed
• Fill to 99–100% on first stage of injection
- Reduces potential nesting of fibers at gate location
- Improves mechanical performance near gate location
- Promotes ideal fiber orientation
Resin Rich Surface
• Achieved when using a hot mold temperature and longer cure times
≥ Max mold temperature recommendation
• Improved surface aesthetic
• Reduced surface conductivity
• Could reduce attenuation performance in an assembly
Fiber Rich Surface
• Achieved when using a cold mold temperature and shorter cure times
≤ Minimum mold temperature recommendation
• Improved surface aesthetic
• Reduced surface conductivity
• Could improve attenuation performance in an assembly

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents for Injection Molding Technical Bulletin.pdf
Key factors contributing to the fine cell
structure are the particle size of the blowing agent,
the dispersing capability of the molding machine,
the decomposition rate of the foaming agent, the
melt viscosity and the molecular structure of the
thermoplastic resin itself.
ADDITION LEVELS OF FOAMING AGENTS
Both the foaming agent and the thermoplastic resins
are metered into the injection molding machine.
When processing
Hydrocerol concentrates in powder form it is
advantageous to add small amounts (0.1%) of
adhesion promoters to avoid separation from the resin.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-05/LFT Application Development Center Bulletin.pdf
With
these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with
recommending the following characteristics that
make up your customized solution:
• Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene,
rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc
These tools include mold-filling
simulations to study fill patterns (including predicted
pack and cooling) of the geometry and predict knit
line locations at resin flow fronts to help ensure you
are directing the best fiber alignment (strength) in
the highest stress areas that your product endures
when in use.
