Critical Processing Warnings for Fortron 1140L0
⚠️ Drying Requirement – Fortron 1140L0 requires drying prior to processing. Dry at 120-140°C for 3-4 hours using a dehumidified air dryer with dew point ≤ -30°C . The time between drying and processing should be as short as possible.
⚠️ Moisture Control – Maximum residual moisture content should be ≤ 0.02% . Proper drying is essential to prevent void formation and ensure optimal product quality.
⚠️ Melt Temperature – The recommended melt temperature range is 330-340°C. Avoid exceeding 340°C to prevent material degradation .
⚠️ Extrusion Grade – This grade is specifically designed for extrusion to produce rods, slabs, and profiles . Processing parameters should be adjusted based on specific equipment and final product requirements.
⚠️ Reinforced Grade – Contains 40% glass fiber reinforcement, which may require consideration for equipment wear and proper screw design.
⚠️ Weldability – This grade exhibits good weldability due to the modest filler level, which can be an advantage for secondary operations .
⚠️ Storage – Store in original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For subsequent storage, the material should be stored dry until processed.
