Processing

Usual single-flighted three-section screws with an effective screw length of at least 15 D, better 20 - 23 D are suitable for the injection molding of Ultraform.

Pretreatment

Granules or pellets in original packaging can be processed without any special pretreatment. Granules or pellets which have become moist due to prolonged or incorrect storage (e.g. by formation of condensed water) must be dried in dehumidifying or recirculating air dryers for approx. 3 hours at about 100 - 110 °C. The moisture content should not exceed 0.2 %.


Postprocessing

If parts were produced at a comparatively low mold temperature (e.g. in order to obtain short cycle times) and must not change their geometry in use thermal postprocessing inducing dimensional changes by postcrystallization may be necessary. In such cases parts should be stored in an oven with recirculated air at temperatures of 100 - 130 °C until dimensions don't change significantly any further. The time needed for this has to be determined experimentally.
