These materials have been formulated using select metallic
fillers and engineered thermoplastic resins to have densities similar to actual metals, while also providing the
design flexibility and processing ease of conventional thermoplastics.

https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2023-01/Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents for Injection Molding Technical Bulletin.pdf
Key factors contributing to the fine cell
structure are the particle size of the blowing agent,
the dispersing capability of the molding machine,
the decomposition rate of the foaming agent, the
melt viscosity and the molecular structure of the
thermoplastic resin itself.
ADDITION LEVELS OF FOAMING AGENTS
Both the foaming agent and the thermoplastic resins
are metered into the injection molding machine.
When processing
Hydrocerol concentrates in powder form it is
advantageous to add small amounts (0.1%) of
adhesion promoters to avoid separation from the resin.

With
these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with
recommending the following characteristics that
make up your customized solution:
• Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene,
rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc
These tools include mold-filling
simulations to study fill patterns (including predicted
pack and cooling) of the geometry and predict knit
line locations at resin flow fronts to help ensure you
are directing the best fiber alignment (strength) in
the highest stress areas that your product endures
when in use.

Nylon Alternatives Offer Consistent Performance
for Powersports Applications
Edgetek™ PKE and Complēt™ PKE Polyketone Formulations
By definition, aliphatic polyketone (PK) is a semi-
crystalline engineering resin.
In addition, PK can improve the sustainability of a
product through a lower carbon footprint because
the production of the resin emits up to 61 percent
less carbon dioxide (CO₂) than nylon.

Re-establishment of the toner package will be
required to achieve proper resin color.
At the
recommended use levels in CSD (carbonated
soft drinks) applications (around 5ppm), the
blue toner is not required and a reduced
amount of the red toner may be desirable (in
some cases red toner can also be eliminated;
this depends on the inherent color of the resin
and so cannot be specified here)
