This creates a foundation of trust in the data outputs.
If you are used to designing in metals, you might be surprised when a polymer’s technical data sheet does not translate into part performance you anticipated.
Many metals can approximate linear elastic behavior, but polymer behavior is not so easily simplified to one modulus, making it more challenging to predict performance based on a data sheet.

Selecting the right material for your application
should include careful evaluation of the material’s
technical data.
In addition, it is equally important to
look beyond the datasheets to more fully understand
the application demands, working environments,
and product life expectations to use and optimize
the material for your specific application.

Refer to the individual Technical Data Sheet for drying recommendations for specific grades.
For a specific overmolding grade, follow the color carrier recommendations on the individual Technical Data Sheets.
Refer to the Technical Data Sheet for the chosen grade to determine barrel temperature settings.
