High flowability

Interaction among polymer molecules in the melting state can be reduced with NANOALLOY™ technology dispersing special polymer newly designed at a molecular level as nano-scale particles within the matrix polymer.
As a result, the mobility of the polymer molecules increases, thus realizing marked improvement in the flowability, which is important in melt state molding. It also achieves energy savings and GHG emission reduction from shortened injection molding cycles.

Sample case of high flowability

Fiberglass-reinforced nylon (special polymer is added to fiberglass-reinforced nylon6 by 1 wt% under the same molding conditions)

Regular material

High flowability material

Molded product prototype (150mm x 60mm x 25mm)

Comparison of molecular mobility in the melt state

Fiberglass-reinforced nylon (special polymer is added to fiberglass-reinforced nylon6, by 1 wt%)

This technology can be deployed in a wide range of polymers (nylon66, PPS, PC, acrylic, etc.)

Possibilities for high-cycle, energy-saving solutions

Assuming an injection molding machine (1,000 shots)

  • A 200 t-class molding machine, assuming a 150 g/shot molded part
  • A 20% reduction in the fiberglass-reinforced nylon66 molding cycle assumed to assess energy savings (20 days x 12 months)
