Injection Notes
Color concentrates with LDPE or EVA carrier are most suitable for coloring Versollan™ OM 1262NX-1. Typical letdown ratios are 50:1 to 25:1 - loading levels should be as low as possible to minimize the effect on hardness. A high color match consistency can be obtained by the use of precolored compounds available from GLS. Concentrates based on PVC should not be used. The final determination of color concentrate suitability should be determined by customer trials.

Purge thoroughly before and after use of this product with a low flow (0.5 - 2.5 MFR) polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).

Regrind levels up to 20% can be used with Versollan™ OM 1262NX-1 with minimal property loss, provided that the regrind is free of contamination. To minimize losses during molding, the melt temperature should remain as low as possible. The final determination of regrind effectiveness should be determined by the customer.

Versollan™ OM 1262NX-1 should not be left in the barrel for extended idle periods (greater than 5 minutes).

Suggested Dewpoint: -40°F

Injection Speed: 0.5 to 2 in/sec
1st Stage - Boost Pressure: 200 to 900 psi
2nd Stage - Hold Pressure: 30% of Boost
Hold Time (Thick Part): 4 to 10 sec
Hold Time (Thin Part): 1 to 3 sec
