Injection molding is one the most common manufacturing techniques for making products having complex shapes and structures.

Injection molded items do not have a symmetric shape and generally can’t be manufactured by any other production technique.

However, the process requires preheating the constituent polymers like ABS, HIPS, Nylon or filled PP etc. for up to 4 hrs and consumes expensive electrical energy.

If the preheating is not done, the moisture present in the polymer can create various surface defects such as blisters and delamination, which are not only aesthetically undesirable but also can also severely reduce the quality of end product.

Besides this, there are problems of poor dispersion of color masterbatches or poor flow rates which harass the manufacturers. These problems come from the variation of Melt Flow Indices (MFI) from virgin polymer to recycled one. Most injection molders agree that using additives gives better products and generally enhances productivity.

Keeping the myriad problems faced by injection molder, Vin Industries has created MoldWel, ...
... a high performance additive for injection molding.

MoldWel lowers the viscosity of the mixture and equalizes the MFI of various ingredients, resulting in better flow and productivity, besides ensuring proper dispersion of color in the end product.

High quality surface finish, optimum color dispersion and better physical properties in end products are some of the major advantages of the additive, which comes in opaque, light gray granules.

According to the company, the additive has generated a loyal customer base due to its high performance and value addition.

Based in New Delhi with a strong sales network throughout India, Vin Industries is the country's leading manufacturer of niche additives for the plastic industries ever since the company's inception in 1997.
