Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing Guidelines
- The injection temperature profile for above grade should be between 170°C to 190°C and the mold temperatures between 30°C to 40°C.
- If the moisture content is more than 0.2%, we recommend that the pellet should be dehumidified for 3-4 hours at 75°C-90°C prior to molding.
- Resin melt temperature and molding machine temperature should always be below 205 °C to avoid burning odor and discoloration of material.
- Injection pressures will be higher for filling the mold than that for common injection molding plastics.
- Overall residence time of material inside the molding machine should be kept as small as possible to avoid risk of material degradation.
- In case a hot runner is used, an open gate with at least 1mm gate diameter advised.
- Drying Conditions
If the moisture content is more than 0.2%, we recommend that the pellet should be dehumidified for 3-4 hours at 75°C - 90°C prior to molding.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- Store in a cool and dry place and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Open bags should be consumed immediately or resealed back to avoid moisture uptake.
