The difference in moisture uptake is also evident in property change between samples tested dry as molded compared to equilibrium conditioned, as shown in the chart above. If the material is allowed to stay in an injection molding machine or extruder (profile, sheet, etc.) too long, the material will start to discolor and brown ‘freckles’ may appear.
