This applies to any system with wetting, such as Polyester, etc. In The marl act* r.s in the melt phase at too high a ohtar rate the mix i:ay squeece out liko Viter, and at too low a shear rate it will be almost unrcoveable. In Injection illdinr; situations the shear rate and pressures are extremely high, which cay overcome the tendency to build up the viscosity. With Madman Cr.tionie Fibre as filler, VISCOSITY IS STRICTLY A lTMCTIOM OF SlEASi:.-. (This is in contrast to other fillers, such as a low oil absorption calcium carbonate for instance, which lias little effect on viscosity - only to the extent that it is present - and no shear rate dependence.)

DESCRIPTION: Besides being hydrous-inert, qniek slurrying, faster filtering and more acid resistant, HFCF's loss on igni tion al 1300'F is much lower than with customary raw materials. A new concept. Hedman Fibrous Filler is designed to meet medern needs ir. automated cantir.ti-jcs pro cessing not formerly possible due to irregular lengths and diameters of fibres, unopened fibre bundles, and undesirable impurities. The basic characteristics of Hedman Fibres allows easier and more intimate blending for a more homogenous mix to produce consistently uniform produets! M ,, 4JL --JC- S& 10 % Ct) n Ci c^G,jt <r.
