Temperature, time, dew point setting, minimum and maximum moisture guidelines for Polypropylene (PP), Rigid Thermoplastic Polyurethane (ETPU),  Nylon 6 (PA6), Nylon 66 (PA66), Polyketone (PK), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Polyphthalamide (PPA), Polyetherimide (PEI), Polyethersulfone (PES), and Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)  Temperature (rear feed zone, center transition zone, front metering zone, nozzle, melt, and mold) guidelines for PP, ETPU,  PA6, PA66, PK, PPS, PPA, PEI, PES, and PEEK 

A two-tone foil effect can also be achieved by running the garment through the oven and applying a different color of foil to the re-melted gel. Plastisol ink is thermoplastic, an attribute which allows the cured surface of the ink to be heated to the point to which it can be manipulated. Generally, a setting of 375°F (1900°C) at 40 pounds of pressure for 8-10 seconds is enough to change the surface area.

Their mechanical performance is subject to time at temperature influences present in usage environments as well as polymer morphological characteristics as they near their melting point. 150°F / 66°C As plastics have lower melting points than metals they require less energy input to fabricate components and processing doesn’t create any toxic effluents, thus producing favorable life cycle analysis (LCA) benefits.

History First produced in 1990, Vectran® is the only commercially available melt spun LCP fiber in the world. Vectran® is thermotropic and melts at 330°C. Key Features • High strength to weight ratio • Good creep resistance • High abrasion resistance • Excellent flex fatigue properties • Minimal moisture absorption • Excellent chemical resistance Disadvantages • Vectran® suffers from UV degradation, which causes strength loss and discoloration • Hair-like filaments tend to fray FIBER-LINE® PROCESS FOR VECTRAN® LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER • Coating • Twisting • Extrusion • Pultrusion • Precision Winding FIBER-LINE® VECTRAN® PRODUCTS • Strength Members • Ripcords • Belt & Hose Reinforcement Yarn • Industrial Fabric Yarn • Synthetic Wire Rope Abrasion Resistance Yarn on Yarn Abrasion Ultraviolet (UV) Resistance Flame Resistance Chemical Resistance (Acid) Chemical Resistance (Alkali) Chemical Resistance (Organic Solvent) P P X P P P P Property UOM Value Breaking Tenacity g/d 23.0 Specific Gravity Ratio 1.40 Elongation @ Break % 3.8 Tensile Modulus g/d 600 Moisture Regain* %

These materials are typically opaque, with a sharp melting point, have good strength, excellent wear performance, and good chemical resistance. Mold Filling Simulation Simulates how melted plastic flows during the injection molding process to validate part design & material solution. If you are not sure where to start or have additional questions about your specific application, we have experts available to point you in the right direction.
