PREPROCESSING
Max. Water content: 0.1%
Product is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to molding is not required. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 65 degC (149 degF) is recommended. Drying time is
dependent on moisture level.
Further information concerning safe handling procedures can be obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet.
Alternatively, please contact your BASF representative.
PROCESSING
Melt Temperature 240-250 degC (464-482 degF)
Typical Barrel Profile (degC):
Rear 245-255 degC (473-491 degF)
Middle 245-260 degC (473-500 degF)
Front 240-250 degC (464-482 degF)
Head 230-245 degC (446-473 degF)
Flange 230-245 degC (446-473 degF)
Die 230-245 degC (446-473 degF)
Screw Parameters:
Metering Section 40%
Transition Section 3 to 4 flights
Feed Section balance of screw length
Compression Ratio 3.5:1 to 4.0:1
L/ D Ratio 20:1 to 24:1
Tooling and Sizing:
Die to Finished Tube dia. 1.5-2.0:1
Selection of pin and die size will be dependent on the material viscosity. In general, the ratio of die size to finished tube diameter is about 1.5-2.0:1. The mandrel (pin) size is determined the same way in relation to the inner tube diameter.
Free (open tank) extrusion is recommended when producing tube diameters 9.5mm and below. For larger diameters, a differential pressure vacuum tank is recommended.
Tooling draw ratio is generally higher with free extrusion versus sizing, but will depend on melt viscosity. The vacuum sizer entrance should be about 3-9% larger than the finished tube outer diameter. Selection will depend on melt viscosity and die swell of the extrudate.
Quenching:
For diameters less than or equal to 9.5mm (.37") O.D., open tank quenching with normal tap water is suggested. Depending upon line speed, quenching distance can var y from 7.5 to 12 meters (24.6-39.4 feet). A short air gap (die to quench water) is recommended for both tubing and cable jacketing for best flexibility.
