NEW INJECTION MOLDABLE METAL ALLOYS FROM COOL POLYMERS
SUCCESSFULLY DEMO’D AT MILACRON FUNCTION
Offers OEMs and Custom Molders a New Way to Expand Services
and Product Lines
BATAVIA, OH (July 11, 2011)
– Cool Polymers, Inc. recently highlighted the molding of
Xyloy™ injection moldable
metal alloys on Milacron Roboshot all-electric plastic
injection molding machines. The demonstration took place at
an open house sponsored by Milacron, a leading manufacturer
of injection molding machines. Hundreds of engineers and
other plastics industry personnel witnessed the special
demonstration. Cool Polymers, Inc., of North Kingstown, RI,
whose legacy has been earned by their ability to develop
heat dissipative polymers, recently introduced their newest
offering, Xyloy injection moldable metal alloys. This
special Milacron open house gave the firm an opportunity to
demonstrate the material’s special processing abilities.
The Cool Polymers new Xyloy injection moldable metal alloys
allow the design freedom and parts consolidation of plastics
with the strength, stiffness and conductivity of metals.
Xyloy materials enable metal parts to be molded on injection
molding machines that are outfitted with a standard Xyloy
package that includes a dedicated screw and barrel.
Kevin McCullough, General Manager at Cool Polymers, notes,
“This special function at Milacron gave us the opportunity
to demonstrate to an audience comprised of OEM and custom
molders and engineers alternative ways to expand their
services and product lines by molding metal alloys on their
presses. While the molding performed exc
eptionally well on
the Milacron Roboshot machines, Xyloy injection moldable
metal alloys can also be molded on nearly all other
injection molding machines. We are most grateful to Milacon
for the use of their machines during this open house and to
Harbec, Inc. of Ontario, NY, for the part design and tooling
to demonstrate the molding of EDM electrode components.”
Steve Allen, he Milacron Director of Product Development and
Support for North American Injection Molding, adds,
“Milacron was pleased to have Cool Polymers demonstrate
their Xyloy injection moldable metal alloy on our 165-ton
all-electric Roboshot molding machine. We see this new
alloy as an opportunity for molders to expand into areas
that plastics currently do not support. Together, we
demonstrated that this new metal alloy offers an additional
class of materials that can be processed on conventional
molding machines. For this reason, we too are excited to
partner with Cool Polymers to provide an all-electric
turnkey package utilizing the Xyloy technology and make it
available to Milacron customers.”
Harbec Pioneers Use of Xyloy Technology
According to Cool Polymer representatives, one of the most
recent molders to experience the advantages of the Xyloy
injection moldable metal alloys is materials is Harbec,
Inc., a molder in Ontario, New York.
The firm’s Tooling Manager, Paul Scheible is quoted as
saying, “Harbec, like Milacron, is enthused about partnering
with Cool Polymers to demonstrate our combined capabilities
and resources. The collaboration enabled our teams to
demonstrate this innovative technology to several hundred
plastics professionals during this open house. Harbec is
committed to harnessing the energy and enthusiasm resulting
from the open house demonstration and directing it into
successful customer partnership that advance the science of
injection molding metals.”
