injection molding, Mold temperature, range: 10 - 60 °C

injection molding, Mold temperature, recommended: 40 °C

Polystyrol 454N can be injection moulded under different conditions depending on machinery available and articles moulded. Mass
temperature can be as high as 260°C. Polystyrol 454N is suitable for gas assisted injection moulding. To achieve articles with very high gloss
well polished surfaces are recommended.

Film extrusion
PROCESSING
Extrusion, Flat film, Melt temperature: 200 - 240 °C

Extrusion temperatures should not exceed 240°C.
