Product Texts
One of the easiest flowing 40% glass reinforced grade in the Fortron
product line. This material can be processed at fast cycle times due to
the unique crystallization characteristics. This product offers good
heat and chemical resistance, as well as, good electrical properties.
The product is inherently flame-retardant and exhibits high hardness
and rigidity.

PREPROCESSING
Predrying in a dehumidified air dryer at 130 - 140 degC/3-4 hours is
recommended.

PROCESSING
On injection molding machines with 15-25 D long three-section screws,
as are usual in the trade, the FORTRON is processable. A shut-off
nozzle is preferred to a free-flow nozzle.

Melt temperature 320-340 degC
Mold wall temperature at least 140 degC

A medium injection rate is normally preferred. All mold cavities must
be effectively vented.

POSTPROCESSING
Tool temperature of at least 135 degC is recommended for parts to
achieve maximum crystallizable potential.
