 Applications

Colorite is a market leader in the manufacture and supply of PVC compounds for the medical device industry. For forty years, Colorite has won the confidence of its customers with premium quality products and first-class service. Their products have regulatory approval and meet the requirements of the United States, European and Japanese Pharmacopoeia. 

Guidelines for Flexible Compounds

Colorite flexible compounds for injection moulding have been formulated to optimize processing performance and heat stability.

General Conditions

Screw Design: G.P. type with check valve

Compression ratio: 2:1 to 3:1

Screw Speeds: 40-100 rpm

Back Pressure: 7-30 bar

Temperature Profiles

Standard cool-to-hot (hopper to adaptor) profiles are adequate. Screw design may dictate special profile adjustments.

 *NB: Melt temperature should be determined in an air shot under actual processing conditions.

 Mould

Stainless steel preferred, ample gating with radiuses in the runners.

Mould temperature: 10-40 0C

Extrusion Guidelines for Flexible Compounds

Colorite compounds are supplied in a completely fluxed pellet form. Thus, extrusions of these compounds are consistent and smooth with excellent melt stability.

Machine Type

Conventional 24:1 L/D machines equipped with good barrel temperature control. An L/D ratio less than 24:1 may cause problems in product quality due to insufficient residence time. Longer barrels are suitable but require more precise heat control.

Screws

Screw compression ratios should be in the range of 2.5:1 to 3.5: 1. Two stage designs, double-start flights, Maddox sections, and mix-ins have all been used successfully. Screw cooling is generally not required.

Dies and Adaptors

Low inventory and smooth flow channels are required to get the maximum run longevity and predictable extrudate characteristics. Use of a screen pack is also recommended. Pitted or nicked surfaces may create degraduation problems.

Temperature Profiles

Standard cool-to-hot (hopper to adaptor) profiles are adequate. Screw design may dictate special profile adjustments.
