Typical value
These values are typical values only. Unless explicitly agreed in written form, the do not constitute a binding material specification or warranted values. Values may be affected by the design of the
mold/die, the processing conditions and coloring/pigmentation of the product. Unless specified to the contrary, the property values given have been established on standardized test specimens at
room temperature.
General

registration, approval or notification. 1) Please see the "Guidance on Use of Covestro Products in a Medical Application" document.
Recommended Processing and Drying Conditions
Barrel temperatures are valid for a standard 3-zone barrel. Temperature set-up for different barrel types may change according to configuration. Values for hold pressure as percentage of
injection pressure may vary depending on, amongst others, part geometry, injection molding machine and injection mold. Drying conditions are for dry air dryers only. Drying times and drying
temperatures may differ depending on valid dryer type. Further information is provided by your local Covestro support as well as in the following brochures: Injection Molding of High Quality
Molded Parts - Drying; Determining the Dryness of Makrolon by TVI Test; The fundamentals of shrinkage in thermoplastics; Shrinkage and deformation of glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics [...].
