CASE STUDY COMPONENT
Mould :        Two Cavity
Application   Automotive - Hubcap
Component Size :  445 x 40 x 2.5mm

RESULTS

After extensive research and material characterisation, it was discovered that a typical injection moulding material such as PP DOMOLEN 1100L with a MFI of 6 was able to be replaced by PP ISPLEN PB140 with a MFI of 3.5 using the following injection parameters

Injection Parameters:   P = 95 bar
                                 V = 40%
                                 Filling Time = 8s
                                 Water Cooling
