Processing Guidelines
| Parameter | Recommended Conditions |
|---|---|
| Drying | 150°C for 4-6 hours |
| Recommended Moisture | ≤0.02% |
| Melt Temperature | 370 – 410°C |
| Mold Temperature | 140 – 180°C |
Critical Processing Warnings:
-
Drying: ULTEM 2200F is hygroscopic and must be dried to <0.02% moisture before processing. Dry at 150°C for 4-6 hours.
-
Melt Temperature: Recommended melt temperature range is 370-410°C. Avoid excessive residence times to prevent thermal degradation.
-
Mold Temperature: Higher mold temperatures (140-180°C) improve flow and reduce residual stress.
-
Food Contact Compliance: This material is FDA and EU food contact compliant in most jurisdictions. Exceptions may exist – request a declaration for details.
-
Regrind: Regrind can be used up to 20-25% with virgin material, provided it is clean and properly dried.
