To do this, the contour and design elements must work together to enable all possible forces encountered during use . For example, a handle well designed for wet grip with softer durometers, more surface area and an aggressive texture could make the part more likely to stick to the mold . Further, material durability can be optimized by selecting polymer formulations with a high resistance to environmental factors such as UV light, chemicals including salt water, acids and plasticizers, temperature extremes from boiling, autoclaving and automatic dishwashing, and unintended storage stresses like exposure to heat in a car trunk .

What level of technical support do you receive from your colorant supplier? How much wastage do you have to account for? Values reported as “typical” or stated without a range do not state minimum or maximum properties; consult your sales representative for property ranges and min/max specifications.
