How can mold filling be improved?

For thin-walled parts, an increase in mold temperature, higher injection speed or increased melt temperature have a positive effect. If the thermal and mechanical requirements to be met by the molding allow it, a grade of molding compound with greater ease of flow can be employed. PLEXIGLAS^® 6N shows particular ease of flow. Among the impact-modified grades, PLEXIGLAS^® zkBR or the PLEXIGLAS^® zkHF series are recommended, for example.
