This material can be processed as a thermoplastic taking the normal technical provisions into account. The above mentioned information refers exclusively to the
injection moulding process.
 Back pressure and injection rate should be adjusted to the component geometry accordingly. The optimum processing temperature depends upon the respective
geometry of the moulded part and can be different from machine to machine.

To achieve optimum mechanical properties, it is recommended to pre-dry the material w ith the above mentioned parameters.
Information on storage and shelf life: The granules must be stored in dry, normally tempered rooms and in closed containers. For moisture-sensitive materials, the
granules must be sealed airtight. Protection against direct sunlight must be guaranteed. The granules are usually subject to the requirements of no shelf life
limitation. Shelf Life may be limited by some additives.
Our information and statements reflec t to c urrent state of our knowledge and shall inform about the produc ts and their applic ations. They do not assure or guarantee
c hemic al resistanc e, quality of produc ts and their merc hantability in a legally binding way. Our produc ts are not defined for the use in medic al or dental implants.
Existing c ommerc ial patents have to be observed. The c orresponding values and information are no minimum or maximum values, but guideline values that c an be used
primarily for c omparison purposes for material selec tion. These values are within the normal toleranc e range of produc t properties and do not represent guaranteed
property values. Therefore they shall not be used for spec ific ation purposes. Unless otherwise noted, these values were determined by tests on injec tion moulded samples,
dry as moulded. The c ustomer is sorely responsible for the quality and suitability of produc ts for the applic ation and has to test usage and proc essing prior to use. Data
sheet values are subjec t to periodic review, the most rec ent update c an be found at ensingerplastic s.c om. Tec hnic al c hanges reserved.
