Processing Guidelines
Material Handling
Max. Water content: 0.20%
Product is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to molding is not required. If drying
becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 80C (176F) is recommended.
Drying time is dependent on moisture level, however 2-4 hours is generally sufficient. Further
information concerning safe handling procedures can be obtained from the Safety Data Sheet.
Alternatively, please contact your BASF representative.

Typical Profile
Melt Temperature 280-300C (536-572F)
Mold Temperature 40-80C (104-176F)
Injection and Packing Pressure 35-125 bar (500-1500 psi)

Mold Temperatures
This product can be processed over a wide range of mold temperatures; however, for applications
where aesthetics are critical, a mold surface temperature of 40-80C (104-176F) is recommended.

Pressures
Injection pressure controls the filling of the part and should be applied for 90% of ram travel.
Packing pressure affects the final part and can be used effectively in controlling sink marks and
shrinkage. It should be applied and maintained until the gate area is completely frozen off.

Fill Rate
Fast fill rates are recommended to ensure uniform melt delivery to the cavity and prevent premature
freezing.
