KEY CHARACTERISTICS The primary features and benefits of Gravi-Tech formulations are: • Customized density, offering a wide range of specific gravities from 1.5 to 11 gm/cm3 • Broad modulus range, from very flexible to very rigid grades • Corrosion resistance, withstanding oxidation for long-term use and benefit • Chemical resistance, withstanding fuels, oils and other harsh chemicals Additional features include: • Design flexibility and processing ease • Good impact strength • Elevated heat deflection temperature 6 Gravi-Tech Design Guide 7 CHAPTER 2 | PROCESS SETTINGS Density Modified Formulations Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals . DEFECTS Design Guide 33 SOURCES Mold Machine Material Process Mold damages Loss of clamp force Barrel malfunction Contamination Wet material Melt temperature too high Injection speed too high Transfer position too low Excessive pack pressure Excessive back pressure RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS Repair mold damage Clean parting line Reduce pinch-off land Increase clamp force Dry material Reduce melt temperature Reduce mold temperature Reduce injection speed Reduce hold pressure Increase transfer position Flash • Excess material commonly found at parting lines or mold features Root cause: Too much plastic or mold damage . 34 Gravi-Tech SOURCES Mold Machine Material Process Design of gate too small or in wrong location Machine not providing requested velocity Heater overriding Wet material Viscosity too low Injection velocity too high Melt temperature too high Mold too cold RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS Increase gate size Remove sharp corners from gate detail Change gate type Move gate to a position where the melt stream will impinge upon a mold feature Dry material Reduce injection velocity Increase melt temperature Jetting Root cause: Injection speed is too high for the viscosity of the material DEFECTS Design Guide 35 SOURCES Mold Machine Material Process Finish too rough Venting impaired Screw configuration Overworking material Non-compatible additive Melt temperature too high Back pressure too high Injection speed too fast Mold too cold RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS Remove sharp corners from gate detail Insure proper venting Increase gate size Use smaller screw/barrel Check melt uniformity Check L/D ratio Dry material Check additive compatibility Reduce melt temperature Reduce screw speed Reduce back pressure Reduce residence time Reduce injection speed Plate-Out • Build-up or deposit on mold surface Root cause: One component of the material is not totally compatible . 36 Gravi-Tech SOURCES Mold Machine Material Process Venting impaired Shut-off partially turned Screw problems Barrel heater problems New lot Contamination Material too dry Under-packing Injection speed too low Not enough pack pressure Melt temperature too low Transfer position too high RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS Make sure gate is not blocked Insure runner shut-off is not turned Check venting Increase gate size Change gating location Add flow leader Insure cushion position Make sure screw is trans- ferring at a correct position Change screw/barrel Make sure material was dried at proper settings Increase melt temperature Increase mold temperature Increase injection speed Decrease transfer position Short Shot • Not enough material is being injected into the mold to fill out all of the cavities Root cause: Not enough plastic is getting into the cavity . It provides additional mixing to the melt, which is especially helpful when using colorants .

THE SOLUTION While researching other possibilities online, the company found Avient and requested additional information on its thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). While evaluating several grades, the accessories company worked with Avient’s global color and additives group to develop a glow-in-the- dark solution. In addition to providing a custom green shade, Avient’s engineers had to ensure the glow-in-the- dark effect could match dedicated gamers’ extended periods of play.
