Tool Design: Venting Gas Traps


Critical Constraints

  • Depth: Determined by viscosity of material. Suggested vent depths for Eastman materials listed below.

Notes:

  • Unvented gas traps may thermally degrade or burn the material.
  • Unvented gas traps may require high pressure to fill out parts or cause short shots.
