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...
