1 of 305 products in this brand
MOCOM Compounds ALTECH® PS A 1000/108 is a base polymer made of Polystyrene that is suitable for various market segments and applications such as injection molded parts. It should be processed with injection molding, and the melt temperature should be between 180-280°C, while the mold temperature should be between 10-70°C. Pre-drying should be done in a dry air (dessiccant) dryer at 60-80°C for 2-3 hours, or in an air circulating dryer at 60-80°C for 2-3 hours. After processing, it should be stored in a light-protected environment that is not above 30°C.

Polymer Name: Polystyrene (unspecified)
