Injection‑Molding Process Parameters
‑Melting temperature：200‑270℃ ‑Mold temperature：40‑80℃. Higher mold temperature improves surface gloss and dimensional stability. ‑Injection pressure：700‑1000 bar, adjust according to product structure and wall‑thickness. ‑Injection speed：medium‑high speed recommended, avoid excessive shear which may cause material degradation. ‑Runner & gate: all conventional gate types are applicable; gate thickness shall not be less than half of product wall‑thickness.
