Injection Notes
MOLD TEMPERATURE
• If the wall is thick, lower temperatures may be used to prevent ejector pin problems.

STORAGE:
• Amodel® compounds are shipped in moisture-resistant packages at moisture levels according to specifications.
Sealed, undamaged bags should be preferably stored in a dry room at a maximum temperature of 50°C (122°F) and
should be protected from possible damage. If only a portion of a package is used, the remaining material should be
transferred into a sealable container. It is recommended that Amodel® resins be dried prior to molding following the
recommendations found in this datasheet and/or in the Amodel® processing guide.
