The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S.
In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.
Higher productivity: The improved flow properties of the Versalloy solution enabled the hose manufacturer to increase throughput by two seconds, which in turn reduced total system costs.

For brand owners
and OEMs to achieve this, they need materials free
of surface blooms and ready to stand up to everyday
wear and tear.
TEST METHODS
Stain Test - Condition 1: Tea, coffee, ketchup,
mustard stand on the surface for 2 minutes at room
temperature, then removed to observe the surface
performance.
Condition 2: Sunblock and hand
cream stand on the surface for 24 hours at 50°C, then
removed to observe the surface performance.

Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended.
3.
Step each 90° bend in the system down in size (from sprue to gate)
approximately 1.5mm (1/16") to reduce pressure drop.
5.
Place wells at every 90° bend in the runner system.
