Ensinger PEI

A. Schulman Ferrex® GPP20CS58HB 20% Calcium Carbonate Filled, High-Gloss Impact-Modified Polypropylene
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polypropylene (PP); Polypropylene with 20% Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) Filler

Material Notes: 20% Calcium Carbonate Filled, High-Gloss Impact-Modified Polypropylene

Description: Gray

Comments:
Testing and measurements were performed at 73 ± 3°F and 50± 5% relative humidity unless otherwise noted.
Filler Content: 23%; ASTM D2584
Material Pre-dry: Normally it is not necessary to pre-dry this material. However, if conditions dictate drying to optimize material properties and part appearance then dry in a desiccant dryer at 180°F for 2-3 hours or 160°F for >4 hours.
Manifolds: Maintain manifolds, runners and tips 10 to 20°F above the front one temperature to allow easier filling. (Gate drool is best eliminated using screw decompression rather than reducing tip temperature.)
Back Pressure (Range): 50-100 psi. Injection Speed: medium. Screw Speed: medium. Injection Pressure: Adjust to just above a short shot. Injection Time: Adjust to just above a short shot- Weigh pars for consistent packing. Cushion (Range): 0.2-0.5 in. Nozzle Type: Free flowing/Standard.
Some conditions may have to be altered to obtain acceptable parts. Please do not run too cold, molded in stress and rough surface may become a problem. If you must run below melt or temperatures recommended for dimensional precision you may compromise impact and esthetics. Retest parts to confirm performance.
