Nordson Xaloy will introduce a plasticising system that combines special component designs and flow surfaces to help injection moulders of optical-grade polycarbonate (PC), acrylic, and similar polymers to produce high-clarity, enhanced-quality parts at Fakuma. The ‘PC Moulding System’ is said to address common challenges encountered in moulding optical-grade polymer by delivering a homogeneous melt with a minimum level of the shear that can cause yellowness or discoloration in PC; and by avoiding polymer sticking points or ‘dead’ spots where blemishes such as black specks can form. Nordson recommends the system for processing lens-grade or coloured PC for automotive lighting, eyeglasses, optical disks, and electrical and telecommunications components.
