Cash Machine Tray Stat-Tech™ formulations provide electrostatic discharge, flame retardant performance, and excellent stiffness for cash machine tray

From the simple feel of a toothbrush, to the protective casing on an X-ray machine, plastics play a crucial role in our daily lives.

Increases machine output

Process analysis also uses FEA methodology to represent the molding process allowing for design, process settings, machine, and tool recommendations.

Traditional TPE types are made by combining a hard material with a soft material, either chemically or by a machine.

Avient introduces new high-impact Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations, developed to replace die-cast or machined metals in premium weighted ap

Every molding machine is different in actual performance . These blades are difficult to machine and are easily bent or broken . Most injection molding machines use a reciprocating screw .

Recipes’ are usually developed by experienced blowing technicians and are subsequently locked into the blowing machine and dialed up on request. Occasionally, technicians from the equipment manufacturers are used to establish the ‘entitlement’ performance of a particular machine and most major manufacturers have technical service teams to help with this activity. Such advice, for example how to set up blow molding machines, is not equipment specific and therefore ColorMatrix would always recommend using local or expert technicians in addition to following best practice points listed below; • Preforms should be conditioned for minimum 24 hours prior to blowing • Preforms should always be used in a FIFO manner (First In, First Out) • Octabins of preforms should be segregated and blown per resin type, i.e. not mixed with other resins • A preform traceability system should be in place such that any process upsets can be quickly followed up and corrected • Enhanced QC preform checking resources for bottle distribution, aesthetics and integrity should be on-hand during the performance optimization trials • Prior to any process optimization, the blowing machine performance should be verified as being within normal i.e. accepted standard ranges and all important components and control features are working satisfactorily.

Machines well, shock resistant, polishes well. Disadvantage: Difficult to machine. More difficult to machine
