Abstract: An injection molding process includes using a mold provided with a resin reservoir having a retractable piston and protruding from a mold cavity in at least one of divided resin passages ranging from the point where the injected molten resin is divided into two streams to a weld formed by the union of the resin streams, feeding the molten resin into the mold while the piston is in a retracted or advanced state to form the weld, and either advancing the piston toward the mold cavity side to force the resin from the resin reservoir into the cavity or retracting the piston to withdraw the resin from the cavity side into the resin reservoir so as to cause the migration of the resin in the weld to thereby force the resin on one side of the weld into the resin on the other side, thus reinforcing the weld, and which is capable of remarkably improving the strength of the weld and its periphery of a molding which otherwise forms a weld having an extremely low strength.

Abstract: An improved method for encapsulating an electronic component with a highly stable protective layer is provided. Such encapsulation is carried out by injection molding about the surface of the electronic component of an encapsulant composition comprising a molten melt-processable polyester which is capable of forming an anisotropic melt phase having uniformly blended therein about 0.1 to 30 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the composition of silicone oil and/or a silicone rubber. Quality encapsulation is made possible under conditions wherein damage to the electronic component is minimized, and the resulting product is well protected without damage under a wide variety of end use conditions including variations in temperature. The process is carried out in the substantial absence of deleterious mold shrinkage and the product exhibits an extremely low linear coefficient of thermal expansion which well protects the electronic component encased therein.

Abstract: In an article molded from a non-burning, non-dripping filled polyester composition having a high level of arc resistance and tracking resistance, decay in the arc resistance with time is substantially decreased or prevented by incorporating a minor but critical amount of polyethylene terephthalate. Typical compositions comprise (a) approximately 30 to 60 percent by weight, based on the composition, of a mixture of polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate wherein polyethylene terephthalate comprises approximately 3 to 20 percent by weight; (b) approximately 30 to 60 percent by weight of the composition of a mixture of fiber glass and talc wherein talc comprises approximately 15 to 35 percent by weight of the composition; and (c) an effective amount, up to 20 percent by weight of the composition of a flame retardant additive or a mixture thereof. Typical compositions possess superior electrical properties, comparable to those of thermosetting molding resins.
