Critical Processing Warnings:
-
Drying: ULTEM 2310EPR is hygroscopic and must be dried to <0.02% moisture before processing. Dry at 149-150°C for 4-6 hours.
-
High Flow & Internal Mold Release: This grade offers high flow characteristics (MFR 11 g/10min) and contains internal mold release agents for improved demolding and processing efficiency.
-
Melt Temperature: Recommended melt temperature range is 350-400°C. Avoid excessive residence times to prevent thermal degradation.
-
Mold Temperature: Higher mold temperatures (140-180°C) improve flow and reduce residual stress.
-
Gate Design: Use large gates and runners to minimize flow resistance and reduce molded-in stress.
-
Regrind: Regrind can be used up to 20-25% with virgin material, provided it is clean and properly dried.
-
Electroplating: The EPR grade is specifically optimized for electroplating applications with enhanced metal adhesion.
