Velothene is a breakthrough performance enhancing polymer additive for polymer processing needs.

SwissGEL has invented a new process to produce a material that can efficiently reduce cycle time in Polyethylene Injection Moulding. Plaasteka has signed a worldwide exclusive license with SwissGEL to manufacture, market and sell this material which has been branded as ‘Velothene’. On its part, SwissGEL has patented the innovation and will be enforcing its status until the patent expires.

 

FLOW IMPROVEMENT

  • Viscosity low
  • Material flow very smooth and consistent

CYCLE TIME REDUCTION

  • After adding 5% Velothene, barrel temperature reduced by 20-50oC
  • Lower barrel temperature thus lower material temperature and lower power consumption
  • Lower cooling time required
  • Cooling time reduced by 20% to 30%
  • 10 to 30% possible reduction in over all cycle

COMPLETE MOULD FILLING

  • Lower viscosity - easier flow
  • Need lesser pressure to fill the product at lower temperature
  • Material with Velothene will find it easier and faster to reach cavities and corners of complex moulds
  • Complex filling – very easy with Velothene

WARPAGE REDUCTION

  • Fast crystallization material
  • Fast setting up of molecules
  • No stress during filling the products

PIGMENT BURNING PREVENTION

  • Barrel temperature lower by upto50oC
  • Heat sensitive material can be used due to lower temperature process
  • Fast homogenization of all master batch/material /filler
  • No burning of material due to lower process temperature

REJECTION RATE REDUCTION

  • Short moulding – completely eliminated through Velothene
  • Burn mark - completely eliminated through Velothene
  • Stress mark - completely eliminated through Velothene
  • Ejection mark on the product- significantly reduced through Velothene
  • Product damage due to difficult ejection – significantly reduced through Velothene

IMPACT STRENGTH INCREASE

  • Adding synthetic material increases strength
  • Flexibility improves
  • Impact strength improves significantly in Polypropylene

PRODUCT SURFACE IMPROVEMENT

  • Lower pressure of injection/hold on
  • Easy flow in to mould
  • Lower stress on the product
  • Velothene improves surface texture

MOULD RELEASE IMPROVEMENT

  • MFI 330g/min
  • Lower stress on the product
  • Surface is smooth
  • Easy ejection
  • Easy release

LOWER ENERGY CONSUMPTION

  • Cycle time reduced
  • More productivity in hour
  • Lower temperature process
  • Reduced heating load of barrel
  • Reduced over all electricity consumption

RECYCLED  MATERIAL

  • Re-cycled material need higher melting point without Velothene
  • With Velothene barrel temperature can be reduced up to 30oC
  • Viscosity low
  • Easy filling in to mould
  • 100% re-cycled material can be used in combination with Velothene

ZERO CAPITAL INVESTMENT

  • Higher output due to reduction in cycle time
  • More productivity on same mould /machine
  • No additional manpower required

EASY SET UP AND USE

  • Flow is better
  • Easy filling
  • Lower temperature process
  • No stress during injection
  • Less rejection
  • Easy start up without process interruptions

POSITIVE EFFECT ON QUALITY

  • Easy filling of the product
  • Lower stress on the product
  • Fast crystallization
  • Lower temperature process
  • Easy release
  • Reduced warpage
  • Reduced start up time
  • Increased impact strength
  • No burning material
  • No silver streak on the product
  • Over all quality of the product increased by high quality synthetic polymer

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

  • Higher out put due to 10 to 30% cycle time reduction 
  • More productivity on same mould /machine
  • No additional manpower required

INCREASES ROI POINT

  • Productivity increased by 15 to 20% in same investment
  • Same manpower/Better manpower utilization
  • More productivity from same mould
  • Overall overhead cost per part is reduced
  • Better profit per sq. mtr.
  • Higher production – higher sales
  • Easy solution for higher demand segment 
  • Higher turnover with higher margin
  • Return on investment increased
