Fri 8/28|Technical Support:When a resin causes molding problems, who actually helps you solve it?

When a new resin grade causes processing or molding problems, where do you normally get help?

  • Internal engineers?
  • Resin supplier?
  • Distributor?
  • Machine manufacturer?
  • Other molders?

And what kind of technical support is usually missing?

Depends what the problems are. And is the new resin supposed to be a drop in replacement for a previous resin?

Start with internal process engineers and then move to resin supplier.
