Drying before processing is highly recommended, moisture rate should be lower than 0.3%.

 

Injection molding :-

Melt temperatures should lie between 170 and 210 C.

Mold temperatures of 20 to 60 C are more suitable.

Mold shrinkage lie between 1 and 2.5%.

Extrusion:-

Extrusion temperatures are 10 – 20 C below injection molding temperature to avoid premature thermal degradation.
