This guide will focus on
the latter and highlight best practices to reduce
areas of localized stress at common areas of
concern, such as corners and edges as well as
reinforcing and assembly features .
RIBS
Ribs are thin, reinforcing features that can add
structure and strength to a part .
GUSSETS
Gussets are support features that reinforce the
connection between vertical features (such as
walls or bosses) and the part’s floor .
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-09/oncap-anti-fog-product-bulletin.pdf
They reinforce packaging integrity by maintaining a
film’s sealing properties, avoiding delamination of
the film structure, and maintaining transparency.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/tpe-injection-molding-guide.pdf
This demonstrates
whether there is any residual dead zone material that continues to enter the melt stream.
With new innovative technologies, Avient continues to develop TPEs that bond to a
variety of substrates.
If the heaters are on
continuously, there is not enough heat being produced from shear.

Interested in learning more about thermally
conductive thermoplastics?
This combined
with the design freedom, weight reduction, and cost
advantages of thermoplastics, opens up the possibility
to use them for metal replacement.
As a
result, Elausa replaced Zamak with Therma-Tech
thermoplastics, significantly reducing part weight from
38g to 9g.
