Processing Methods

The actual conditions will depend on the type of equipment used.
This product is easy to process with standard injection molding machines. To avoid residual humidity from transport or storage, the material should be pre-dried approximately 2h at 80°C.

Following parameters should be used as guidelines:

Holding pressure- 50% – 70% of the injection pressure Mold
Mold temperature-30 - 50°C
Injection mass temperature- 220 - 260°C
Injection speed- Low to medium
Screw speed- Slow to medium
