Pre/Post-processing, max. allowed water content: .15 %
Pre/Post-processing, Pre-drying, Temperature: 80 °C
Pre/Post-processing, Pre-drying, Time: 4 h
PROCESSING
injection molding, Melt temperature, range: 270 - 290 °C
injection molding, Melt temperature, recommended: 280 °C
injection molding, Mold temperature, range: 80 - 90 °C
injection molding, Mold temperature, recommended: 80 °C
injection molding, Dwell time, thermoplastics: 10 min
PREPROCESSING
Max. Water content: 0.12%
Product is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to molding is not required. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 80 °C (176 °F) is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.
Further information concerning safe handling procedures can be obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet. Alternatively, please contact your BASF representative.
PROCESSING
Melt Temperature 270-295 °C (518-563 °F)
Mold Temperature 80-95 °C (176-203 °F)
Injection and Packing Pressure 35-125 bar (500-1500 psi)
This product can be processed over a wide range of mold temperatures; however, for applications where aesthetics are critical, a mold surface temperature of 80-95 °C (176-203 °F) is required.
Injection pressure controls the filling of the part and should be applied for 90% of ram travel. Packing pressure affects the final part and can be used effectively in controlling sink marks and shrinkage. It should be applied and maintained until the gate area is completely frozen off.
Back pressure can be utilized to provide uniform melt consistency and reduce trapped air and gas. A maximum of 3.5 bar (50 psi) is recommended to minimize glass fiber breakage.
Fast fill rates are recommended to insure uniform melt delivery to the cavity and prevent premature freezing. Surface appearance is directly affected by injection rate.
