      Molding Guidelines

      General Processing Conditions for:  Injection Molding
    • Molding temperatures:
      Rear Temperature: 350 - 390°F (145 - 200°C)
      Middle Temperature: 410 - 455°F (210 - 235°C)
      Front and Nozzle Temps: 410 - 455° (210 - 235°C)
      Stock Temperature: 440 - 500°F (227 - 260°C)
      Mold Temperature: 73 - 120°F (23 - 50°C)
    • Processing conditions:
      Suggested shot size: 50 to 70%
      First stage injection pressure: Maximize
      Screw speed: 30 to 60%
      Packing pressure: Minimize
      Back Pressure: 50 to 150 psi
      Other Molding Considerations:
    Melt temperature above 500°F (260°C) may cause resin degradation and changes to resin properties.
    To improve dispersion of color concentrates use a screw with a mixing zone or mixing nozzle.
