PRODUCT SELECTION & INSTALLATION GUIDE COMPOSITE SPRINGS VIBRATORY CONVEYORS AND SEATING FEATURE BENEFIT • Exceptional fatigue resistance • Corrosion resistance • Creep resistance Fewer failures for longer spring life, less frequent replacement, and a more reliable end product • High strength-to-weight ratio—less than half the weight of steel • High spring rate and deep deflection • Custom designs to support off-axis loads Stronger springs can mean fewer are needed in an application for overall cost savings • Common sizes in inventory • Custom design and finishing capabilities Fast, dependable service, ready-to-install product and customization options to boost your manufacturing efficiency PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Thermoset composite springs from Avient are engineered with proprietary vinyl ester or epoxy resins and unidirectional fiber reinforcement technologies. The endurance limit was defined when the springs reached 1.5+ million cycles with no loss of spring rate Spring rate adjustments: The spring rate or stiffness for each cross section (thickness x width) is adjustable via the free length of the spring (see illustration).

GUIDELINES FOR USING CESA CLEAN ADDITIVES • Cesa Clean works best when molded maintaining normal (injection) pressure/shear • For best results, Avient recommends a “Running Color Change” which eliminates breaks in the molding cycle • Since the Cesa Clean concentrate will expand, it is recommended to reduce the shot size by 20% • It is designed for use at a let-down ratio (LDR) of 3.0% or (33:1); however, use rate can vary depending on the severity of the contamination but typically is 2.0–4.0% (a use rate higher than 6.0% may not have any positive affect on the cleaning performance) • Using Cesa Clean as a routine part of your color change rotation will allow faster changes and consume a minimal amount of raw material - Note: If the manifold is not cleaned routinely, this process may be more time consuming and additional material will be required • It is best to process at your normal polymer processing temperatures - For best performance, stock temperature should be at least 400°F - If 400°F is achieved during the purging process, no additional activation will occur during the reprocessing of regrind - All parts produced during the “Running Purge Cycle” should be captured as regrind, resulting in a scrap-free color change - If using sequential gates, open and close all gates at the same time while purging the tool - If contamination appears to be coming from one gate, open and close first, and for an extended period of time, to force more material through this location - When cleaning in this manner, pay close attention to shot size - Parts containing the previous or new color plus any Cesa Clean can be used as regrind INTRODUCING CESA CLEAN TO YOUR PROCESS Hand Blend • Hand weigh enough of the Cesa Clean and natural resin mix to equate to 3–5 times the barrel capacity • Use rate should be 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • Note: Do not attempt to vacuum load more than 15 feet from source as stratification/separation may occur Volumetric Feeder • Calibrate feeder to dispense 3.0% or 33:1 for routine cleaning • For difficult-to-clean tooling, or tooling which is not routinely cleaned, start at 4.0% or 25:1 • This style of feeder is highly recommended for at-the-throat metering of Cesa Clean Blending Units Most blenders have an extra bin for an additive • Fill the additive bin with Cesa Clean • Set blender to introduce the Cesa Clean at 2.0 to 4.0% • Note: Do not air convey any further than 15 feet as Cesa Clean has a high density and may separate from the mix. 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 • 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 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.

HANDLING AND USAGE RATES Triple A is a dispersion which can be supplied individually or in combination with other ColorMatrix colorant and additive technologies. ColorMatrix will recommend the best use rate depending on the expected level of AA following processing, storage conditions and the final desired AA level in the packaged product. This additive technology can be implemented during PET processing without impact on production efficiency. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 0.050 0.1 0.15 0.2 % A A Re du ct io n % Use Rate Anthranilamide 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 .04 .06 .08.020 0.1 0.16 0.180.140.12 0.2 % A A Re du ct io n % Triple A-1+ 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2022, Avient Corporation.
