There are only three versions of the solvent-suspended carnauba wax aerosol spray and by a long margin, the "Non-Flammable Green-Label" product is the most popular. This is due to its non-flammable solvent which makes it easier to ship internationally and makes is easier for customers to accept. For all M.J. Gordon's products however, the above mentioned unconditional guarantee applies.

By far the most popular grade with more than 80% of this grade in use, this version uses a non-flammable solvent to suspend the carnauba particles making an easy choice for manufacturers.

Taking up the majority of second place's demand, this grade is for use in applications where a water-based version must be used.

With far less than 5% of market share, this product is only ever used when manufacturers' specifications require it. Otherwise, this product has been entirely superceeded by the other two grades.

1. lncrease cure.
2. Close mold slowly on low pressure, then apply high pressure to purge gas.
3. Vent mold.
4. Preheat to eliminate moisture. lncrease preform temperature.
5. Breathe mold as soon as possible.
6. Increase pressure.
7. Use stiffer material.
8. Lower mold temperature.
9. Check mold temperature for uniformity.
10. Vent mold at dead ends with vent pins.

1. Reduce mold charge.
2. Reduce mold temperature.
3. lncrease high pressure.
4. Close on low, apply high pressure sooner.
5. Eliminate breathing, follow (4).
6. Use softer grade material for more pressure.
7. Be sure of 0.002-in. between force and cavity.
8. Be sure overfiow grooves are clean.
9. Reduce transfer pressure andlor increase clamping pressure.

1. Try a range of plasticities for best grade.
2. lncrease pressure.
3. Lower temperature.
4. Close mold faster if external porosity, apply high pressure sooner; close mold slower if internal porosity, apply low pressure longer
5. Preheat material.
6. Adjust charge weight.
7. Try a higher density material to obtain greater "hack pressure" in the mold.
8. Breathe mold earlier.
9. Use semi-positive molds to minimize porosity.

1. Raise mold temperature.
2. Preheat to eliminate moisture.
3. Clean mold.
4. Use stiffer material.
5. Remove dents and undercuts in mold cavity and force.
6. Polish mold.
7. lncrease cure.
8. Lower pressure, softer material if plunger molding.
9. Check knockout pin adjustment.
10. Be sure cavities have sufficient drait.

1. Adjust mold temperature - usually reduce temperature for better appearance.
2. Polish mold.
3. Chrome plate.
4. Close mold more slowly.

1. Close slowly on low pressure. Delay 2 sec. before applying high pressure.
2. Preheat (radio frequency).
3. Use stiffer material.
4. Use finer ground material.
5. Use large preforms and as few as ~ossible.
6. use lower mold temperature.

1. Use stiffer material.
2. Preheat.

1. Reduce molding temperature; for colors, 300 to 310°F (150° to 155°C)
2. Preheat preforms.
3. Adjust plasticity.
4. Adjust pressure and closing speed

1. Close slowly, longer on low pressure, no breathe, then high pressure.
2. Use stiffer material.
3. Lower mold temperature.
4. lncrease charge weight.
5. Shape preforms more closely to piece.
6. lncrease pressure.

1. Heat mold more uniformly.
2. Use stiffer material.
3. Preheat if soft plasticity.
4. lncrease cure.
5. Use lower shrinkage material. and/or material more rigid at discharge.
6. Redesign mold; use wider knockout pins.
7. Adjust temperature of force arid cavity - lower temperature may reduce warpage.
8. Preheat for irregular shaped pieces.
9. Cool uniformly and use shrink fixtures.

1. lncrease wall thickness around inserts.
2. Check knockout pins.
3. Correct size of shrink fixture.
4. Use more flexible material.
5. lncrease radii and ribs.
6. Oven anneal 2 hr. at 200°F.

1. Close slowly.
2. Preheat 1.5 hrs. at 185°F.
3. Increase cure.
4. Reduce temperature.
5. Use stiffer grade.

1. Increase temperature.
2. Increase cure.
3. Increase pressure.
4. High frequency preheat.
5. Increase charge.
6. Afterbake to increase strength, if economical. Try 2 hr. at 250°F (120°C)

1. Breathe mold.
2. Use higher fines material.
3. Use softer material.
4. R.F. preheat.
5. Lower mold temperature,

1. Reduce preheat temperature.
2. Reduce mold temperature.
3. Open gates; be sure vents are * clear; check plunger travel time to see if it is between 5 and 12 sec. (faster close will entrap gas; slower close causes burn marks).
4. Avoid or minimize breathing.
