Allzone Knowledge Tools Directory
A single index of every interactive Allzone tool, grouped by the knowledge area that owns it. Each tool lives inside its own subject area, where the supporting articles and materials are.
Polymer & Plastics
All Polymer & Plastics tools- Masterbatch Let-Down Ratio (LDR) CalculatorWork out the let-down ratio and kg-per-batch dosage for white, colour, filler and additive masterbatch, with the polymer matrix back-filled automatically.Use it when: A customer specifies a TiO₂, pigment or filler level in the part, not in the masterbatch.Open the tool
- Composite Density & Filler Loading CalculatorConvert between weight and volume in a filled compound: composite density, volumetric substitution and the real yield effect of calcium carbonate or talc loading.Use it when: You are raising calcium carbonate or talc loading and need the new part weight.Open the tool
- Apparent Die Shear Rate & Melt-Fracture PredictorCalculate apparent wall shear rate for slit and circular dies and see when the line enters the sharkskin and melt-fracture window.Use it when: The surface goes matt or shark-skinned when you push line speed.Open the tool
- Compound Cost per Tonne CalculatorBlend resin and filler prices into a single cost per kg and cost per tonne, and see the saving a given filler loading actually delivers.Use it when: You are justifying a filler loading change to a customer or to finance.Open the tool
- Extrusion Troubleshooting & Process Diagnostics MatrixFind the root cause of gels, black specks, sharkskin, die build-up, thickness variation and other extrusion defects, with the checks and remedies for each.Use it when: The line is running but the product is being rejected.Open the tool
- Polymer QC Standards & Test Method MatrixSearch the ASTM and ISO methods used to qualify masterbatch, fillers and compounds — ash content, MFI, dispersion, moisture, tensile and colour — with practical limits.Use it when: You are writing or auditing an incoming-material specification.Open the tool
