Nik,

It does not matter very much which resin you use for Direct AIM tools but do
not use the high temperature resins as they are too brittle and the inserts
crack when the tools are closed!
We have moulded several polymers in these tools - PP, ABS, PA, 30 glass
filled PA and also PEEK.

Dear all,
Please can anybody help, I am looking for two things
1. what are the mechanical properties of the resin
used in the direct aim process
2. Why has ketool got a size limitation, is due to
the different shrink rates during the process
regards nik
many thanks in advance
