Advantages of ICM for the INJECTION PROCESS

� Compensates shrinkage by compressing the melt throught the clamping movement.� Distributed, uniformly acting holding pressure.� Reduces holding pressure time, shortens cycle times� Reduces clamping force requirements.� Less orientation and molecule alignment during injection.� Easier and faster moulding through improved venting.

� Less material shear.

Advantages of ICM for MOULDED PART PROPERTIES

� Eliminates sink marks with thicker wall sections and at the end of the flow path.

� Reduces wrapage suscetibility & improves long-time dimensional stability.

� Reduces stresses in mats or films in direct back injection for decorative parts.

� Reduces fibre degradation in parts made of long- fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (LFTs) and consequently improved mechanical properties.
