Applications: Automotive, under-the-hood

Conditioning after Molding: 48 hr at 23°C

Nominal Shrinkage: 0.7-0.9%

Drying conditions
• Temperature: 80-100°C
• Time: 2 hours minimum, 4 hours maximum
• Device: Desiccant Dryer
• Moisture content: 0.1 wt% max.

Molding Temperatures
• Rear Temperature: 145-200°C
• Middle Temperature: 210-235°C
• Front and Nozzle Temps: 210-235°C
• Stock Temperature: 205-260°C
• Mold Temperature: 23-50°C

Processing conditions
• Suggested shot size: 50-70%
• First stage injection pressure: Maximize
• Screw Speed: 30-60%
