Technical Details & Test Data
- Recommended Processing Conditions
Machine: It is recommended that an in-line reciprocating screw machine be used to injection mold ECP 210 but it is possible to process this material on plunger injection molding machines.
Extrusion: Normal extrusion equipment should be used.
Cylinder Temperature: 220-230°C. The optimum cylinder temperature will depend upon the size and complexity of the molding.
Mold Temperature: 25-80°C. The optimum cylinder temperature will depend upon the size and complexity of the molding.
Moisture: ECP 210 can absorb moisture therefore prior to molding please ensure thorough drying. Materials should be re-dried if all the material is not used within 2-3 hours of opening the bag. Excess moisture may show as splash marks on the surface of the finished moldings. If necessary the material should be re-dried. Typical drying conditions are 2-4 hours at 80°C. Store in a warm dry place to avoid moisture.
Use of regrind: Runners, sprues and scrap moldings can be reground and blended with virgin materials. Regrind additions should not exceed 10% by weight of the virgin material otherwise some reduction in properties may be experienced.
Do not use a magnetic separator in the molding machine and hopper - the grains will separate and stick to the magnet!
