To avoid hydrolytic degradation during processing, IMPET resins have to be dried to a moisture level equal to or less than 0,01%. The drying should be done in a dry-air dryer (dew point < -30°C) with a temperature of 120 to 140 °C and a drying time of 2 to 4 hours. In case of longer residence times in the dry-air dryer, the temperature should be reduced to 100°C.
The time between drying and processing should be kept as short as possible. The processing machine feed hopper should be closed during the processing operation.

Melt Temperature 270-290 °C
Mold Temperature 135-145 °C
Maximum Barrel Residence Time *) 5-10 min
Injection Speed fast
Peripheral screw speed max.0,3 m/sec
Back Pressure 10-20 bar
Injection Pressure 600-900 bar
Holding Pressure 300-500 bar
Nozzle Design open design preferred

Injection speed, injection pressure and holding pressure have to be optimized to the individual article geometry. To avoid material degradation during processing low back pressure and minimum screw speed have to be used. Overheating of the material has to be avoided.

Ticona recommends only externally heated hot runner systems.

*) If the cylinder temperatures are higher than the recommended maximum temperatures, the max. residence time in the barrel has to be reduced.
