A GFRP usually is between 10 percent to 50 percent glass fiber by weight.
Experts recommend using inserts for large-volume production, and because a long dwell time in the barrel may cause degradation, use a minimum of 20 percent to 50 percent of barrel capacity per shot.1 Purging is also important.

Ideally, ribs should
be a little thinner so as to not create thick spots
–75% of wall thickness for a low-shrink material
and 50% for a high-shrink material.
INSERTS
Size the inside diameter of bosses at 50-60%
of thread engagement.
Aim for 75% of wall thickness
for a low-shrink material, and 50% of wall
thickness for a high-shrink material, with a draft
angle from ¼° to 1°.

The new grades were formulated to provide a
functional replacement for the previous used prime
materials while incorporating 50% recycled ocean-
bound plastic content.
Using Avient’s Product Carbon Footprint Calculator,
which has been third-party certified by TÜV Rhineland
to ISO 14067 standard, the new Avient formulations
enable a 50% carbon footprint reduction compared to
the materials previously used.
