• Uncontaminated regrind up to 25% is allowed. | ||
• Screw configuration affects melt temperature. A low shear, 2.5:1 | ||
• Mold temperatures of 65°C - 95°C (150°F - 200°F) produce best surface appearance. | ||
• 15-50 rpm screw speed suggested. Adjust actural rpm for desired output while maintaining desired melt temperature range. | ||
Increasing screw speed increases shear heating; use a hand-held pyrometer to measure melt temperature. Adjust barrel temperatures to maintain recommended melt temperature range. |

(1) Typical values only. Variations within normal tolerances are possible for various colors. All values are measured after at least 48 hours storage at 23°C/50% relative humidity. All properties, except the melt volume and melt flow rates, are measured on injection molded samples. All samples tested under ISO test standards are prepared according to ISO 294. |
||
(2) Only typical data for selection purposes. Not to be used for part or tool design. | ||
(3) This rating is not intended to reflect hazards presented by this or any other material under actual fire conditions. | ||
(4) Internal measurements according to UL standards. |
