A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold.
 cycles can be up to 15% faster, says Solvay.

The six new grades can be processed at temperatures up to 500 F. They range in hardness from 55 to 85 Shore A and are nonhygroscopic, requiring no predrying. Surface aesthetics are superior to those of conventional TPVs. A targeted application is automotive window encapsulation (1) In object technology, the creation of self-contained modules that contain both the data and the processing. See object-oriented programming.

, which typically requires lower molding temperature (375 to 475 F) and lower pressure to avoid glass breakage. The new materials are also suitable for very long and/or thin parts. Tel: (248) 391-9500 * PTDirect: 717MV
