Processing Parameters

Process Stage	Parameter	Unit	Recommended Range / Condition	Notes & Explanations
Pretreatment	Drying Temperature	℃	85‑120	Critical for processing
	Drying Time	Hr	≥2‑4	Until moisture content ＜0.04%‑0.08%
	Drying Method	‑	Dehumidifying dryer / hot‑air circulation	Dehumidifying dryer is strongly recommended especially under high humidity or high‑quality requirements. Avoid over‑drying to prevent oxidation & yellowing.
Injection Molding	Barrel Temperature	℃	230‑260	Raise temperature gradually from rear zone to nozzle
	Melt Temperature	℃	240‑250	Actual measured value, key control point
	Mold Temperature	℃	70‑90	Use mold‑temperature controller. Higher mold temperature improves crystallization, surface gloss and strength; lower mold temperature shortens cycle but may cause sink marks or insufficient crystallization.
	Injection Speed	‑	Medium‑high speed	Fast filling for thin‑wall parts; slow first then fast for thick‑wall parts to prevent jetting.
	Injection Pressure	MPa	60‑100	Adjust according to part shape, wall‑thickness and melt flowability.
	Hold‑on Pressure	MPa	40%‑60% of injection pressure	Excessive hold pressure / long hold time easily induce internal stress.
	Back Pressure	MPa	0.3‑0.6	Proper back‑pressure homogenizes melt; too high reduces plasticizing efficiency.
	Screw Speed	rpm	50‑100	Excessive speed generates excessive shear heat.
Post‑treatment (Optional)	Annealing	℃ / time	100‑120 ℃ / 2‑4 h	Hot‑air oven or oil bath, then cool slowly to room temperature. Relieve internal stress, improve dimensional stability and mechanical properties, for high‑precision or post‑machined parts.
	Conditioning	℃ / time	Boiling water / potassium acetate solution / several hours	Soak parts in hot water or potassium‑acetate solution to reach moisture equilibrium, improve toughness and dimensional stability, mainly for toughness‑demanding applications.
