Structural components are playing a larger role in many injection-molding markets.  The combination of various parts into a single component is quickly being recognized as a way to reduce assembly times, create manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs.  Long glass fiber is playing a major role in assisting engineers in the consolidation of these parts into one component.

Synventive supports manufacturers of Long Glass Fiber with system designs, which specifically address the molding needs of this special material.  Hardened and wear resistant components, maximizing pin stroke on valve gates, and designs that address the need for reduced pressure drop and shear rates through the hot runner system, all contribute to minimum glass breakage before the material reaches the part cavity.
