An EDM finish is acceptable for most GLS TPE formulations. 1, 2 and 4 Valve gates do not require the material in the part to freeze before the valve is closed and hold pressure is released.

Each 90° bend in the system should step down in size. 4. Increase the vent depth to 0.010" at 0.100" away from the cavity and vent to atmosphere. 4. Nozzle Drool Nozzle temperature too hot • Decrease nozzle temperature • Decrease back pressure • Increase screw decompression • Verify material has been dried at proper conditions Incorrect nozzle • Use reverse taper tip Weld Lines Melt front temperatures are too low • Increase pack and hold pressure Mold design • Increase gate size • Perform short shots to determine fill pattern and verify proper vent location • Add vents and/or false ejector pin • Move gate location Warp Process related • Increase pack pressure • Increase pack time Mold design • Non-uniform mold cooling Part design • Non-uniform wall thickness Thermolator incorrect temperature • Check settings • Inspect thermocouple Processing Guide 7 Sticking in Mold Overfilled cavity • Decrease injection rate and pressure • Decrease pack and hold pressure • Adjust transfer position • Decrease cooling time Mold design • Increase draft angle • Polish cores in direction of ejection Part is too hot 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2024, Avient Corporation.
