It is force applied by the machines clamping unit to the mould during filling, packing and holding phases of moulding cycle. Unit is Tons or kN.

Polymers that are derived from more than one species of monomers.

A process in which bonds are formed joining adjacent molecules. At low density, these bonds add to the elasticity of the polymer and at high density eventualy produce rigidity in the polymer.

It is the structure of polymer where the molecules are arranged in a very regular repeating lattice structure.

The process of changing property of polymer into a more stable and usable condition. This is accompolished by the use of heat, radiation or reaction with chemical addition.

It is the a small amount of melt that is left in the barrel at the end of injection, follow up pressure. The cushion prevents the screw tip from making contact to the head of
