Technical Details & Test Data
- Recommended Processing Conditions
Machine: It is recommended that an in-line reciprocating screw machine be used to injection mold ECP 110, but it is possible to process this material on plunger injection molding machines.
Extrusion: Normal extrusion equipment should be used.
Cylinder Temperature
180 - 230 °C depending on the size and complexity of the molding.Moisture: It is recommended that ECP 110 be dried prior to extrusion. Excess moisture may show as an inferior surface finish. Typically 2/4 hours at 80°C is adequate. Store in a warm dry place to avoid moisture.
Use Of Regrind: Runners sprues and scrap moldings can be reground and blended with virgin material. Regrind additions should not exceed 10% by weight of the virgin material; otherwise, some reduction in properties may be experienced.
Safety & Health
- Safety & Health
- Caution - This Material Is Electrically Conductive.
- Polypropylene based materials are stable at ambient and normal processing temperatures and can be processed safely in molding and extrusion equipment at up to 325°C.
- At temperatures above 330°C, slow decomposition occurs. No problems should result from normal processing, but machines containing Polypropylene based materials should not be allowed to stand idle at processing temperatures for more than a few minutes.
- Molton Polypropylenes are hot enough to cause severe burns and will adhere strongly to the skin. Care is necessary for handling and decomposing of purging and to avoid any fire or fume hazard, the waste material should be cooled in water.
