The most important processing instructions in brief:
– Ensure good drying! Ensure moisture content < 0.01%.
– Inject as fast as possible, if necessary use machine with pressure accumulator.
– Injection speed has a strong influence on the achievable flow path length
– Avoid excessively thick walls
– Ensure good venting
