Technical Details & Test Data
- Recommended Processing Conditions
- Machine - ECP 128 can be processed on conventional processing equipment.
- Processing Temperature - Suggested molding temperatures are in line with those for polyethylene typically 150°C - 190°C.
- Moisture - ECP 128 absorbs moisture therefore prior to molding please ensure thorough drying (ie, 80°C for 4 hours). 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 at 80-90ºC in shallow trays for 2 - 3 hours. Other forms of drying of equivalent effect are also suitable.
