Solvay Specialty Polymers Ixef® 1025 Polyarylamide (PARA)  (Unverified Data**)

Ixef 1025 is a 50% glass-fiber reinforced, UV stabilized polyarylamide which exhibits very high strength and rigidity, outstanding surface gloss, and excellent creep resistance. - Black: Ixef 1025/9008Injection Notes: Hot Runners: 250°C to 260°C (482°F to 500°F) Drying The material as supplied is ready for molding without drying. However, If the bags have been open for longer than 24 hours, the material needs to be dried. When using a desiccant air dryer with dew point of -28°C (-18°F) or lower, these guidelines can be followed: 0.5-1.5 hour at 120°C (248°F), 1-3 hours at 100°C (212°F), or 1-7 hours at 80°C (176°F). Injection Molding IXEF 1025 compound can be readily injection molded in most screw injection molding machines. A general purpose screw is recommended, with minimum back pressure. The measured melt temperature should be about 280°C (536°F), and the barrel temperatures should be around 250°C to 260°C (482°F to 500°F) in the rear zone, gradually increasing to 260°C to 290°C (500°F to 554°F) in the front one. If hot runners are used, they should be set to 250°C to 60°C (482°F to 500°F). To maximize crystallinity, the temperature of the mold cavity surface must be held between 120°C and 140°C (248°F and 84°F). Molding at lower temperatures will produce articles hat may warp, have poor surface appearance, and have a greater tendency to creep. et injection pressure to give rapid injection. Adjust holding pressure and hold time to maximize part weight. Transfer from injection to hold pressure at the screw position just before the part is completely filled (95% to 99%).Information provided by Solvay Specialty Polymers.
