General
In general LUVOCOM® can be processed on conventional injection moulding machines while observing the usual technical guidelines.
Any added fibrous materials or fillers may have an abrasive effect. In this case the cylinder and screw should be protected against wear as is usual in the processing of reinforced thermoplastic materials.
Lengthy dwell times for the melts in the cylinder should be avoided.
Lower the temperatures during interruptions!
Predrying (optional)
It is advisable to predry the granulate with a suitable dryer immediately before processing.
The granulate may absorb moisture from the air.
Delivery Form & Storage
Unless indicated otherwise, the material is delivered as 3mm-long pellets in sealed bags on pallets.
Preferably storage should be effected in dry and normally temperatured rooms
Additional Information
If originally sealed containers are used, it is normally possible to omit the predrying stage. If PTFE materials are not predried, an increase in deposits inside the mould may occur.
The processing notes provided merely represent a recommendation for general use. Due to the large variety of machines, geometries and volumes of parts, etc., it may be necessary to employ different settings according to the specific application.
