Blow Molding Technologies
In blow molding, the vertically extruded tube of melt, called a parison, has to support its own weight before the mold closes and pinches the melt and the final step of blowing the tank. Hence, blow molding grades are distinguished by extremely high melt strength.
NYCOSIX 578 is a high-viscosity grade that offers very high melt strength and is suitable for blow molding rigid articles.
NYCOSIX 589 is an ultra-high viscosity material that is targeted for larger chemical storage tanks and other rigid blow molded articles.
NYCOADAPT 9315 is a very high viscosity grade, reinforced with in-situ polymerized nanoclay. It offer a good balance of properties, such as low permeation and excellent cold-temperature toughness.
NYCOADAPT 2084 is a very high viscosity grade, engineered to offer good balance of properties such as low permeation and excellent cold-temperature toughness.
Injection Molding Technologies
Injection molding two halves of a tank and welding them together is another way of manufacturing tanks and other hollow articles. Generally, it is the least preferred due to cost., However, applications that require high-strength hollow parts such as air-intake manifolds and high-temperature air ducts are molded using this technique.
NYCOADAPT 4114 HST is a 14% chopped glass fiber reinforced nylon 6 grade that is suitable for injection molding translucent tanks using injection molding.
NYCOFILL 5033 HST is a 33% chopped glass fiber reinforced nylon 66 grade used for injection molded translucent tanks.
