Processing Information
Machine
General All extruders suitable for polyamides can run the 141 N120-S
Screw Types Screws with three zones (feeding, compression and metering zones) are recommended
Length: 22 D - 28 D (25 D is optimal)
Compression ratio: 2.5 - 3.1
Material
   
Drying

141 N120-S is dried and packed with a moisture content of less than 0.10 %. If the packing has been damaged or left open for a long time (>2 hours), then the material has to be dried. Polyamides are sensitive to oxidation at temperatures > 80°C in the oxygen atmosphere.

Drying Settings
  • Air Dryer
    • Temperature: max. 80°C
    • Time: 4 - 8 hours
  • Vacuum Dryer
    • Temperature: max. 80°C
    • Time: 2 - 4 hours
Lubrication

141 N120-S includes internal lubricants. However, the use of Zinc Stearate or Calcium Stearate can be helpful in case of process instability

Process (Recommended Basic Settings)
Basic Machine Settings
  • Hopper zone 60 - 90°C
  • Feeding zone 210 - 235°C
  • Compression zone 220 - 250°C
  • Metering zone 220 - 250°C
  • Head 210 - 240°C
  • Melt 205 - 240°C
