A plasticizing system that combines special component designs and flow surfaces helps injection molders of optical-grade polycarbonate (PC), acrylic, and similar polymers to produce high-clarity, enhanced-quality parts, it was announced today by Nordson Corporation, which will introduce the system at Fakuma 2015
plasticizing system ensures a mass balance throughout the screw that compensates for the conversion between feedstock bulk density and resin melt density, thereby controlling shear rates and shear stresses throughout the melting process
