Material Notes:
Capron 8360 HS is a heat stabilized 34% mineral reinforced nylon 6 injection molding resin possessing a high level of toughness and ductility combined with excellent processability and surface aesthetics. Its performance characteristics include strength and stiffness while maintaining excellent drop weight impact. It maintains its inherent chemical resistance to greases, oils and hydrocarbons. It is also available in natural, black or custom colors and can be painted.Capron 8360 HS is generally recommended for applications such as automotive fuel filter pockets, door and window hardware, wheel hubs and covers, mirror housings, and interior lighting components. ASTM Callout PA220 M34 A92120 UB041 AA002 ZP01 NNI > = 1600 J/M.Data provided by Allied Signal.Processing: Max. water content 0.12%. Product is supplied in sealed containers and drying is not required. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 85°C (185 °F). Is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.Melt Temperature: 270-300 degC (518-572 degF). Mold Temperature: 80-95 degC (176-203 degF). Injection and Packing Pressure: 35-125 bar (500-1500psi) This product can be processed over a wide range of mold temperatures; however, for applications where aesthetics critical, a mold surface temperature of 80-95 degC (176-203 degF) is required. Injection pressure controls the filling of the part and should be applied for 90% of ram travel. Packing pressure affects the final part and can be used effectively in controlling sink marks and shrinkage. It should be applied and maintained until the gate area is completely frozen off. Back pressure can be utilized to provide uniform melt consistency and reduce trapped air and gas. A maximum of 3.5 bar (50 psi) is recommended to minimize glass fiber breakage. Fast fill rates are recommended to insure uniform melt delivery to the cavity and prevent premature freezing. Surface appearance is directly affected by injection rate. Capron® is no longer a part of the BASF standard line. The BASF nylon products have been consolidated in the Ultramid ® line.
