Molding with PVC Resins

Author: Industrial Supplies Michigan – Amerisource Industrial Supply
Molding with PVC resin or using flame retardant additives simply causes nothing but headaches for most molders. These materials are widely known to emit acidic gases during the molding process. And these gases cause frustration and problems for the molder. Gases can build up on the mold surface, leading to clogged vents or filled-in mold texture. We see two ways to help solve these situations. The reactive approach is to use a cleaner to help break down and remove these gas deposits after they are formed. Slide’s Resin Remover product is an excellent option for this approach. We also offer a proactive method of trying to prevent the gas from building up on the mold surface. By using Slide’s Mold Saver Release Agent the molder can work to neutralize these corrosive and damaging acidic vapors. Not only does this formulation help with releasing the part from the mold surface, it also contains a powerful base material that will work to eliminate the acidic vapors from the mold cavity as they are being emitted from the resin. So help your customers to be proactive when you run across molders working in these acid-rich molding situations. As always, free samples are available.

MOLD RELEASE
Mold release is most simply PAM for plastic molding. Mold release is applied to the plastic injection mold so the part will easily fall out of the die without sticking. If plastic parts stick to the mold and must be removed, the productivity of the machine is negatively impacted. There are some basic questions that must be answered to select the proper Mold release;
- What type of plastic is being used?
- Is the part going to be painted?
- Is the part going to be used in a food application?
- Is the part going to be used in a medical application?
- Does the part and molding process require frequent use of a release?
Take the survey online to get the recommended mold release that meets your requirements. SURVEY DOCUMENT
MOLD CLEANERS
Mold cleaners are used to clean the mold to prevent resin/grease build up on the mold. Contamination on the mold can be transerred to the surface of the part causing quality issues and rework. Mold cleaners are also used prior to storing the dies and prior to application of mold rust protection. They are also used prior to putting a mold back into production to remove rust preventative. Key questions to ask to choose the right mold cleaner
- Plastic being cleaned
- In process cleaning or bench cleaning
- Temperature of the mold
