Full-round or modified trapezoid runners are the best design and provide the least surface-to-cross-section ratio. Well depths approximately 2-3 times the diameter of the runner provide the best results. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.

Follow up by purging machine with general purpose PP • Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products • General ventilation is suggested Shut Down • Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP • All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon shut down • Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear • Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner • When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual product from the manifold MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Cold Slug Wells • Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first emerging from the nozzle • Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system • Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best results Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side. Runners • Full-round or modified trapezoid runners are the best design and provide the least surface to cross section ratio.

Pre-testing to healthcare protocols helps manufacturers mitigate the risk of non-compliance when registering their products. Based on polysulfone resins and tested to ISO 10993, this line of opaque and transparent colorants is specifically formulated to achieve high heat resistance in healthcare applications.  Produced with ingredients tested to European Pharmacopeia protocols, the range is targeted for use in the production of PP and PE pharma containers for parenteral, ocular, and nasal drugs. 

Through both fully accredited testing and in- house testing capabilities, our team uses state-of- the-art equipment and software to generate data for insight into material behavior, environmental effects, and more. This enables us to evaluate how different materials perform and to establish best practice processing parameters. ONSITE TECHNICAL SUPPORT The product development process does not end with design and testing.
