PRODUCT DATA SHEET
DESCRIPTION : AF 1006 is polypropylene compound with glass fibre content of 30% 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 90-950 for 2-3 hours. Use of hot runner system tends to minimize fibre degradation along runners 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 220-2500 C
Mould Temperature 50-700 C?
