Material savings (weight, cost) for thick-walled parts up to 40%

Cycle times may be reduced by 50% or more when compared to standard injection molding of thick-walled parts

• Lower clamp forces

• Improved holding pressure effect

• High flexural stiffness and torsional rigidity

• Low internal stress level and low warpage for thick and thin wall combinations (uniform shrinkage and pressure)

• Reduction of sink marks

• Smooth surface in comparison with structural foam

• Design freedom

• Fewer weld lines due to fewer injection points

• Longer flow lengths or lower number of injection points required for large thin-walled molded parts because gas channels act as flow leaders
