Industry: | Consumer Packaging |
Process: | Injection Molding |
Problem: | Surface performance of P/P needs to be altered in order for molded parts to work in the desired application. |
Solution: | Add +Glide™ SL-105 to the melting process which will provide smooth feel and functional characteristics needed for consumer packaging. |
Industry: | Plastic Outdoor Furniture |
Process: | Injection Molding |
Problem: | Plastics crack, craze and discolor when subjected to UV light. |
Solution: | Add +Shield™ LST-296 to the plastic so the outdoor furniture will maintain its quality and functional use for many years depending on the amount of LST-296 used. |
Industry: | Consumer Products |
Process: | Injection Molding |
Problem: | Poor part quality with varying thickness and warpage at desired cycle time. |
Solution: | Add +Speed™ NUC-138 to P/P which will improve isotropy, part quality, warpage, cycle time as well as override color influence on the crystallization temperature and shrinkage |
Industry: | Plastics of Consumer Products |
Process: | Injection Molding |
Problem: | PCR resins affect the flow properties of plastics and slow down mold release. |
Solution: | Add +Zero™ AST-145 to the process which allows the reduction of surface tension in the part and improves cycle time due to faster release of parts. |
Industry: | Plastic Packaging and Consumer Products |
Process: | Injection Molding |
Problem: | Higher profile heats and shear heat will start to degrade resin. |
Solution: | Add +Guard™ LAO-325 to the process which will protect the resin from higher heats and degradation, and therefore reduce contamination from building up on screws and barrels. The end result is a better product and less downtime. |
Industry: | Plastic |
Process: | Injection Molding |
Problem: | Large thick walled parts have sink marks. |
Solution: | Add +Foam™ LBA-135 to the color and meter liquid to a precise letdown. The results are large thick walled parts with color and blowing agent to reduce the weight of the part, prevent sink marks, and speed up your cycle. |
Industry: | Consumer Products |
Process: | Injection or Extrusion |
Problem: | Growth of gram-positive / gram negative bacteria which can discolor, stain, and created unwanted odors. |
Solution: | Add 0.4% of +Clean™ AM-139 to limit microbial growth. Test results show up to 99.9% reduction of microbial growth on to plastic resin when treated with +Clean™ AM-139. |
Industry: | Consumer Products |
Process: | Injection / Extrusion |
Problem: | Changing melt flows or use of PCR may create problems with resin flow affecting quality and productivity. |
Solution: | Add +Gains™ FM-3040 to reduce sheer stress, improve flow and allow for better dispersion resulting in better quality and productivity. |
Industry: | Plastics (virgin and recycled resins) |
Process: | Injection, Blow Molding, and Extrusion |
Problem: | Reduction in physicals due to processing of resins effected by heat, shear, and cycle time |
Solution: | Add .1% to .5%, with or without color, of +Restore to improve the overall quality and physicals of the poylmer. |
