Using antistatic masterbatches can minimize these cleaning processes.  Consult with an antistatic masterbatch expert to discuss the impact of different production processes. Injection molding, blow molding, extrusion and other processes all affect part performance in varying ways and may require adjustments in additive type and quantity.

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.

What’s more, the polymer enabled HellermannTyton to switch from a two-step metal fabrication process to a one-step injection molding process, while Avient provided additional assistance with tool development, process optimization and testing.

Spraying a coating on a film’s surface requires an investment in capital equipment and the unavoidable use of a secondary process in a film manufacturing line. This method doesn’t require any secondary processing and uses the feeder that is already a component of almost every film extrusion line. The addition of just a small amount of this concentrate during the film production process can make the difference between a product ending up in the shopping cart, or staying on the shelf—possibly until it has to be thrown away.
