No matter how foolproof a process appears, there will always be unique ways that it may run off course. When you look at potential problems openly, you can also plan for contingency plans as early as now and add that consideration to your lead time.

These are the most important factors to consider when going through resin selection:

• Melt flow
• Fillers like minerals and glass, and how they affect performance
• Surface requirements
• Tensile strength, elongation, and modulus
• Price, availability, moldability, and colorability
• Regulations to comply with (ISO, FDA, RoHS, etc.)
• Global compliance requirements (EU, NAFTA, etc.)
