The document reports on tests using Roctool technology versus conventional technology to injection mold plastic samples. It finds that Roctool technology provides improved flow length and reduced pressure drop compared to conventional methods. Specifically, it allows thinner parts to be molded - 1mm parts using Roctool technology achieved similar flow lengths to 1.5mm parts made with conventional technology. The pressure drop measured between sensors in the cavity was reduced by up to 43% with Roctool technology. Overall, Roctool characterization trials demonstrated significant flow length and pressure drop improvements for the material tested.

Note : All the injection trials and the pressure measurements were carried out according to the protocol defined by RocTool (injection process, 2 heating sides,
cold sprue, mold design).
All pressure data are measured using eDart system (RJG).
Results Evaluations
The graph above shows a flow length for the two thicknesses
at two temperature (90°C and 220°C). By comparing these
curves, a significant reduction in thickness can be observed.
With Roctool technology, we are able to achieve a better flow
length at 1 mm compare to 1.5 mm using conventional
technology. Also, the following diagram shows the pressure
drop measured between the two sensors for the two
thicknesses at 1000 bars of injection pressure. The reduction
of pressure drop in the cavity is important up to 43%.
GLOBAL COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATIONS
HD Plastics™ characterization trials show a significant flow length and pressure drop improvement. The optimum mold
temperature is 220°C regarding to the trials performed with this material. We obtain the longest flow with an important
reduction of the pressure drop compared to the conventional mold temperature. Also, we demonstrated that we could
reduce the thickness of injected part from 1.5 mm to 1 mm.
