Definitions for "Moldability"
Keywords:  zig, zag, spiral, binder, ease
A relative measure of the ease of filling out a tool cavity during injection molding. It can be determined by the length of filling for a long, narrow passage. The current best test of plastic moldability is the spiral, which has been altered to a zig-zag to induce powder-binder separation along the flow path.
Easy to mold without rupturing or developing flaws due to movement of the polymer during gelation.
Keywords:  flask, inclined, slot, sand, falling
Ability of sand to flow into a flask and around a pattern measured in the amount of sand falling through an inclined screen or slot. See Flask, Pattern.
