The shear thinning behavior of SBCs should be considered when designing injection molds and also when setting mold conditions during processing. The maximum achievable flow length is dependent on the specific material selected, the thickness of the part, and processing conditions. Depending on the processing conditions and mold design, most GLS styrenic TPEs exhibit a degree of anisotropy.

Their flowability, combined with injection and impact strength, make them a good fit for complex thin-wall moldings while also providing design and processing freedom. As injection molding materials with good flowability, they deliver finished components in one single process step, helping to facilitate easy assembly.” Avient’s portfolio of Gravi-Tech materials combine the aesthetics of metals with the superior processability of polypropylene (PP), acrylic butadiene styrene (ABS), polyamide (PA), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and other thermoplastic materials.

How one supplier optimized properties, processing with UV-stable materials The material solution, Avient’s OnFlex-S EH UV TPE, offers an outstanding balance of processability, tactile qualities, UV resistance, abrasion resistance and colorability that capably satisfies the application’s requirements. Faster processing = lower energy costs: Higher melt flow rates enable shorter injection molding cycles, resulting in reduced energy requirements.

All the pompoms are spun-dyed from existing color formulations which can accelerate the speed to market by foregoing the color-matching process. The new spinning line facilitates a direct assessment of a color formulation's quality and accuracy for three-color yarns and can speed up the color-matching process. The acquisition of the new laboratory spinning line will not only help speed up the color-matching process for three-color yarns but also help produce three-color pompoms for the showroom, giving even more color illustrative options for visiting customers,” said Norbert Merklein, vice president & general manager, Europe.
