PRODUCT DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION : AF 1002 is polypropylene compound with glass fiber content of 10% for general injection use . It exhibits toughness and resists dimensional changes due to weathering and temperature. The injection mold part surface has higher scratch resistance compared to mineral filled compound.
APPLICATIONS : Automotif under-bonnet application, cooling system expansion tank, fan mounting, washing machines components.
PROCESSING CONDITIONS :
- It is advisable to eliminate moisture at 90-95o for 2 - 3 hours. Use of hot runner system tends to minimize fibre degradation along runner and gates, thereby improving molding characteristic. Slow to moderate screw speed, 30-60 RPM, and low to moderate back pressure, 25-75 psi, is appropriate for glass reinforced grades.
- Cylinder Temperature 220o - 250o
- Mould Temperature 50o - 70o
