Abstract:
The present invention relates to an injection moulding process for the preparation of a foamed article with improved surface quality. The present invention further relates to a foamed article obtained or obtainable by the injection moulding process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a foamed article comprising a polymer composition wherein the polymer composition comprises a first heterophasic propylene copolymer and an inorganic filler. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of said foamed article and to the use of the foamed article for the preparation of automotive parts.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a solid part, and a device and process of making the solid part. The process includes introducing a glass fiber filled polymeric material to a hopper of an injection molding machine, where the glass fibers have a pre-molding length, melting the glass fiber filled polymeric material to form a melt in a plasticizing unit, pressurizing the plasticizing unit of the injection molding machine with a blowing agent, dissolving the blowing agent into the melt, injecting the melt into a mold cavity up to 100% of volume, and forming the solid part.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a foamed injection moulded article comprising a foam composition obtained by foaming high density polyethylene having a quotient of melt strength and apparent viscosity > 2 cN/k.Pa.s wherein the melt strength is determined as described in ISO 16790:2005 and the apparent viscosity is determined as described in ISO 11443:2014.
Abstract:
A foamed part, includes: a long glass fiber filled polymeric material, wherein the long glass fibers have an initial length before molding of the foamed part and a final length after molding of the foamed part; wherein a post-molding length of the long glass fibers in the foamed part is greater than or equal to a post-molding length of long glass fibers in a similarly dimensioned foamed part made without a pressurized plasticizing unit.
