Injection Notes
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™ RU 2205-9 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™ RU 2205-9 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: 300 to 700 psi
2nd Stage - Hold Pressure: 30% of Boost
Hold Time (Thick Part): 4 to 10 sec
