Improve performance, enhance your capability • Meet higher performance requirements with thermoplastic materials • Reduce part weight • Achieve rapid cycle times • Differentiate with expanded manufacturing and product performance capabilities Dramatically increasing impact resistance and stiffness of molded components—without adding significant weight—means that OEMs can meet increasingly demanding application requirements.

Adding electronics, minimizing footprint – Using Therma-Tech material for your housing allows you to add more electronics without concerns of excess heat impacting device functionality.

Constituents added to resins, such as colorants and additives, must be adapted to obtain a final article compliant with prescribed standards such as EN13432 for Packaging Applications and EN17033 for Agriculture Mulch Films.

Improves traceability as the color indicates the additive has also been added.

GETTING STARTED TIMING IS THE KEY TO A RUNNING COLOR CHANGE Hand Blend • Have the purge blend ready to load • If hopper contains a mixture of resin, color and/ or regrind, it should be run dry or drained before beginning the color change, keeping the screw full so press cycle continues • Run the main resin hopper dry or shut off hopper to hand feed at the throat • Once press is clean, slide hopper in place and proceed with next color-resin blend • The next color can be added while Cesa Clean is still in the barrel • When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot size, parts should be ready to pack (Single) Volumetric/Gravimetric Metering Unit at the Throat • Empty and clean feeder while press continues to run • Add Cesa Clean to the feeder color hopper and calibrate to a 3.0% use rate • When press is clean, start next color • When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot size, parts should be ready to pack • Note: If an open/unused secondary feeder is installed, use it for the Cesa Clean concentrate Central Blending Unit • Thoroughly clean unit while continuing to mold parts, keeping a resin feed to the press • Using a clean open hopper or regrind hopper, add the Cesa Clean concentrate • Set blender for additive/color to 3.0% • Once press is clean, drain hopper and/or central blending unit while continuing to mold parts • Begin new color and continue to mold parts • When splay is no longer visible in parts, reset shot size, parts should be ready to pack Process Adjustments That Can Help • Increase back pressure • Increase screw speed • Increase injection speed (in some tools maximum injection speed can facilitate cleaning) • Reduce mold close time (faster cycle) • Always remember a stock temperature of 400°F is essential When press and tool are clean, return all settings to standard production process profile.

The typical enthusiast is willing to invest extra money into customizing their kayaks with vibrant colors and added accessories.

Long fibre reinforced materials have an added degree of modelling complexity due to the need to capture the effects of bundling, fibre entanglement and weld lines.

Seller's invoices will include value added tax, where applicable, and such value added tax shall be a separate line item on the invoice. 11.

Part walls need to remain parallel when adding draft. One thing to avoid in adding draft are large variations in wall thickness . The water line connections to the mold should be kept to as few as possible, and jumpers should be avoided unless permanent jumpers can be added .

Patterson added, “Our Color, Additives and Inks segment also delivered record operating income of $58 million during the fourth quarter. Patterson added, “We will provide more details on our upcoming webcast, but our headline projection for 2021 is that we expect revenue growth of approximately 8% pro forma will drive adjusted EPS expansion from $1.93 to $2.40 - an increase of 24%.”
