Several Points to Consider When Injection Molding PA66 Plastic

I. Drying Process: If the material is sealed before processing, then drying is not necessary. However, if the storage container has been opened and the humidity is not too high, it is recommended to dry the particles in hot air at 85°C before processing. If the air humidity at the time is greater than 0.2%, a vacuum drying process at 105°C for 12 hours is also required. II. Melting Temperature: Generally, the melting tempera...
