Process Item Recommendation Notes
Predrying Drying temperature 80‑85 ℃ Desiccant dryer required; target moisture<0.1 %
  Drying time 4‑5 h Prevent bubbles & silver‑streaks
Barrel setting‑screw type Rear zone 180‑200 ℃ Melt onset ~160 ℃, decomposition>270 ℃
  Middle zone 190‑230 ℃  
  Front zone 180‑210 ℃  
  Nozzle 180‑210 ℃  
Barrel setting‑plunger type Front zone 210‑240 ℃  
  Nozzle 210‑240 ℃  
  Melt temperature 210‑250 ℃ Avoid long residence time to prevent degradation
  Mold temperature 40‑80 ℃ Higher temp improves gloss, yet lengthens cycle time
  Injection pressure 80‑120 MPa(screw) / 80‑130 MPa(plunger) High‑viscosity material requires high injection pressure
  Holding pressure 40‑60 MPa  
  Injection speed Medium High‑speed triggers surface defects & internal stress
  Back pressure 0.5‑1.0 MPa For melt homogenization
  Screw speed 20‑30 rpm Screw machine only
