Better Results With High Performance Additives: Injection Molders

Injection molding is one the most common manufacturing techniques for
making products having complex shapes and structures. However, the
process requires preheating of polymers like ABS, HIPS, Nylon, filled
PP etc. for up to 4 hrs and consumes expensive electrical energy.

Also, the manufacturers often have to deal with problems like breakage
or poor surface finish, whenever using recycled polymer or fillers.

If the preheating is not done, the moisture present in the polymer can
create various surface defects such as blisters and delamination,
which are not only aesthetically undesirable but also can also
severely reduce the quality of end product.

Besides this, there are problems of poor dispersion of color
masterbatches or poor flow rates which harass the manufacturers. These
problems come from the variation of Melt Flow Indices (MFI) from
virgin polymer to recycled one. Most injection molders agree that
using additives gives better products and generally enhances
productivity.

Keeping the myriad problems faced by injection molder, ...
... Vin Industries
has created EliHeat and MoldWel. Both are high performance additives
for injection molding.

When mixed with the polymers, EliHeat reacts with moisture and forms
stable compounds which do not evaporate and create surface defects.
This also means that the additive gives its full weight to the end
product.

“EliHeat is a very useful additive for injection molders. It removes
preheating, which not only shortens the process time but also cuts the
power consumption and other costs drastically,” said Rohit Mahajan,
product specialist at Vin Industries.

On the other hand, MoldWel lowers the viscosity of the mixture and
equalizes the MFI of various ingredients, resulting in better flow and
productivity, besides ensuring proper dispersion of color in the end
product.

High quality surface finish, optimum color dispersion and better
physical properties in end products are some of the major advantages
of the additive, which comes in opaque, light gray granules.

According to the company, both the additives have generated a loyal
customer base due to their high performance and value addition.

Based in New Delhi with a strong sales network throughout India, Vin
Industries is the country's leading manufacturer of niche additives
for the plastic industries ever since the company's inception in 1997.
