5. Processing & Guide
(1) Injection Moulding Guidelines
Mold Shrinkage: 0.015~0.025 inch/inch
Injection Speed: Medium-Fast
Injection Pressure: Medium-Fast
Back Pressure: Low-Medium
Holding Pressure: Sufficient to pack the mould
Cooling: It can be demoulded when parts have sufficiently cooled
Barrel Temperature (℃): 150-170 170-210 180-230 190-230 15-50
(2) Extrusion Guidelines
L/D Ration: 20:1-25:1
Compression Ratio: 2.5-3.0
Breaker Plate/Screen: Both should be used
Draw Down: 5-10%
Cooling: Cold water bath
Barrel Temperature (℃): 150-170 170-210 180-220 180-220 180-220
(3) Processing Notes:
① Normally need not drying, if absorbed moisture, pre-drying the particles for 2 to 4 hours at 80℃.
② Cleaning the screw and die with PP or PE before and after processing.
③ The gate and runner can be recycled, but less than 15%.
④ PE/EVA base color masterbatch is better for coloring.
