Processing Guidelines (General Injection Molding)
- Drying: Generally not required for polypropylene. However, proper storage to prevent moisture absorption is recommended.
- Melt Temperature: 190 – 230 °C (optimize based on machine type, mold design, and part thickness).
- Mold Temperature: 20 – 50 °C (higher mold temperatures can improve surface finish).
- Injection Speed: Medium to high, to ensure good mold filling and reduce cycle times.
- Holding Pressure: Optimized to prevent sink marks and ensure dimensional accuracy.
Packaging & Storage
Borouge HG385MO is typically supplied in 25 kg bags or bulk containers. For optimal product quality, store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep packaging sealed until ready for use.
