    Technical Details & Test Data

    Recommended Processing Conditions

    Machine: It is recommended that an in-line reciprocating screw machine be used to injection mold ECP 270, but it is possible to process this material on plunger injection molding machines.

    Extrusion: Normal extrusion equipment should be used.

    Cylinder Temperature:190-250°C depending on the size and complexity of the molding.

    Moisture: It is recommended that ECP 270 be dried prior to extrusion. Excess moisture may show as an inferior surface finish. Typically 2-4 hours at 800°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.

    Do not use a magnetic separator in the molding machine and hopper - the grains will separate and stick to the magnet!!
