Product Texts
K-Resin® KR03 processes very well in injection molding, providing good cycle times and design flexibility. K-Resin® KR03 alone or in blends, can be extruded into sheet and thermoformed on conventional equipment at high output rates. The favorable economics of K-Resin® SBC, along with high productivity, have made possible tough clear disposable drinking cups, lids and other packaging applications. K-Resin® KR03 will process on most conventional equipment, allowing the molder to run a crystal clear bottle without expensive machine modifications, special molds, different screws, or dryers. K-Resin® KR03 can be blow molded in a broad range of sizes and shapes, from small pill bottles and medical drainage units, to very tall display bottles. It also can be injection blow molded into extremely high impact bottles with glass-like clarity.

Injection molding
As a rule, the K-Resin® granules do not have to be pre-dried. However, in the event of unfavorable storage or transportation conditions involving severe temperature fluctuations, moisture can condense on the surface of the granules and this then has to be removed in a pre-drying step. The granules should be pre-dried in a dry-air dryer for 3 to 4 hours at a temperature of about 50°C.
