Suspension Polymers. Methacrylate suspension polymers are characterized by thek composition and particle-size distribution. Screen analysis is the most common method for determining particle size. Melt-flow characteristics under various conditions of heat and pressure are important for polymers intended for extmsion or injection molding appHcations. Suspension polymers prepared as ion-exchange resins are characterized by thek ion-exchange capacity, density (apparent and wet), solvent sweUing, moisture holding capacity, porosity, and salt-spHtting characteristics (105). [Pg.270]

Orientation. Most articles made of HDPE, including film, fiber, pipes, and injection-molded articles, exhibit some degree of molecular and crystal orientation (21). In some cases, orientation develops spontaneously for example, during melt flow into a mold and its subsequent crystallisation. When blown HDPE film and fiber are manufactured, orientation can be introduced dehberately by stretching. [Pg.381]

Developments. A variety of process modifications aimed at improving surface finish or weld line integrity have been described. They include gas assisted, co-injection, fusible core, multiple Hve feed, and push—pull injection mol ding (46,47). An important development includes computer-aided design (CAD) methods, wherein a proposed mold design is simulated by a computer and the melt flow through it is analy2ed (48). [Pg.142]

Lubricants. Lubricants are used to improve the melt flow, screw feeding, and mold release of nylons. Long-chain acids, esters, and amides are used together with metal salts, eg, metal stearates. Improved melt flow is mainly a function of molecular weight reduction during mol ding. Mold release is improved by waxes of limited compatibiHty with nylon, which migrate to and lubricate the mold surface. [Pg.274]

Injection-Molded Products. Numerous housings, electrical enclosures, and cabinets are injection-molded from rigid PVC. These take advantage of PVC s outstanding UL flammabiUty ratings and easy mol ding into thin-waHed parts. PVC has developed melt flow capabiUties to the point where it competes with essentially any other flame-retarded engineering thermoplastic and molds easier than most. [Pg.508]

Pipe fittings require quite high tensile and creep resistance they are thus molded from compounds that have less melt flow than for thin-waHed housings. Plasticized compounds are injection-molded into a variety of parts requiring elastomeric properties. [Pg.508]

Amorphous nylons are transparent. Heat-deflection temperatures are lower than those of filled crystalline nylon resins, and melt flow is stiffer hence, they are more difficult to process. Mold shrinkage is lower and they absorb less water. Warpage is reduced and dimensional stabiUty less of a problem than with crystalline products. Chemical and hydrolytic stabiUty are excellent. Amorphous nylons can be made by using monomer combinations that result in highly asymmetric stmctures which crystalline with difficulty or by adding crystallization inhibitors to crystalline resins such as nylon-6 (61). [Pg.267]

Processing PC resins by extmsion or injection-molding methods requires melt temperatures of 290—320°C. High melt viscosity at low shear rates prevents mold flash and drool. At injection shear rates, apparent viscosities decrease, and easy melt flow allows manufacture of large, complex parts. [Pg.270]

PPS resins are chiefly used for injection mol ding. The melt flow of the glass-fiUed resins is very stiff, and high injection pressures are required. Mold surface wear is heavier than for most other engineering plastics. Mol ding melt temperatures are near 330°C for optimum surface gloss and impact strength, mold temperatures of 130°C should be used. The resins are brown to brown-black. [Pg.274]

Part configuration (size/shape). Relate shape to flow of melt in mold to meet performance requirements that should at least include tolerances. [Pg.171]

Undercut Whether external or internal, undercuts should be avoided if possible to reduce mold cost (by about 25 to 30%) and simplify melt flow during molding. However many molds use external and/or internal undercuts. In cases where it is essential to incorporate them in a design, appropriate mold design is required. The mold will include action such as sliding components on tapered surfaces, split cavity cam actions to produce the needed undercut, etc. (Chapter 8, TOOLING)... [Pg.187]

Blind hole In regard to molding products that include holes, it is important to ensure that sufficient material surrounds the holes and melt flows property. A core pin forming blind holes is subjected to the bending forces that exist in the cavity due to the high melt pressures. Calculations can be made for each case by establishing the core pin diameter, its length, and the anticipated pressure conditions in the cavity (3). [Pg.187]

Nonlaminar flow Ideally, it is a melt flow in a steady, streamlined pattern in and/or out of a tool (die, mold, etc.). Actually, the melt is... [Pg.452]

A distinction should be made between machine conditions and processing variables. Machine conditions are basically temperature, pressure, and processing time (such as screw rotation/rpm, and so on) in the case of a screw plasticator, die and mold temperature and pressure, machine output rate (lb./hr), and the like. Processing variables are more specific such as the melt temperature in the die or mold, melt flow rate, and pressure used. [Pg.454]
