Injection‑Molding Parameters

表格

Process Item Recommendation Notes
Predrying Drying temperature 70‑80 ℃ / 85‑90 ℃ Desiccant dryer required
  Drying time 4‑6 h Target moisture<0.1%, avoid bubbles & silver‑streaks
Barrel setting Melt temperature 238‑272 ℃ / 240‑270 ℃ Melt temperature dominates filling performance, strictly control residence time to prevent degradation
  Mold temperature 34‑71 ℃ / 35‑70 ℃ Higher temperature improves gloss yet lengthens molding cycle
  Injection pressure High injection pressure High‑viscosity material; melt temperature has greater influence than injection pressure
  Injection speed Medium Excessive speed may induce surface defects and internal stress
