PREPROCESSING
Vectra resins are well known for their excellent thermal and hydrolytic
stability. In order to ensure these properties are optimum, the resin
should be dried correctly prior to processing. Vectra A-grades should
be dried at 150 C for a minimum of 4 hours in a desiccant dryer.

PROCESSING
A three-zone screw evenly divided into feed, compression, and metering
zones is preferred. A higher percentage of feed flights may be needed
for sma ller machines: 1/2 feed, 1/4 compression, 1/4 metering.

Vectra LCPs are shear thinning, their melt viscosity decreases quickly
as shear rate increases. For parts that are difficult to fill, the
molder can increase the injection velocity to improve melt flow.
