- General Processing Recommendations
Green Dot’s Terratek® FX2217 resin needs to be dried before processing. If resin is in a sealed box, dry resin at 90°F to 100°F for 2 to 3 hours. If resin is in an open box, dry resin at 100°F to 120°F for 4 to 5 hours.
For best molding results, larger gates and runners are recommended. The injection pressure required to fill the mold is much higher than typical injection molding grade plastics.Typical injection molding temperatures are listed below, these are only a guide and may need to be changed based on the particular application :
Rear 300°F to 330°F Middle 300°F to 330°F Front 300°F to 330°F Nozzle 300°F to 330°F Processing at temperatures above 350° F and in combination with high shear conditions such as high injection speed may result in thermal degradation of this resin.
