3. Process improvement

Technological advances have been implemented industrially to improve process control and the quality of injected parts:

  • control of foam expansion to achieve the highest possible expansion rate without penalizing the product's final properties. To achieve this, the core-back process was introduced.

  • improving the surface appearance of the parts obtained by pressurizing the cavity before filling.

3.1 Core-back mold opening

The polymer is injected into a thin cavity (figure 10 , step 1). After a very short holding time (step 2), during which solid skins are formed, the mold...
