1Deviating from ISO 37 standard test piece S2 is tested with a traverse speed of 200 mm/min. Specimens were tempered for 20 hrs at 100°C (212°F).
2The adhesion quality depends on mold design, product geometry and process parameters.
**Recycling-specific influences such as slight color deviations, gloss differences, viscosity variations or a higher hardness spreading are possible with TPEs containing a recycled component.
All values published in this data sheet are rounded average values.
The shelf life of the TPE granules is 24 months from delivery if storage instructions are observed and the product is stored in the unopened original KRAIBURG TPE packaging. Store in dry conditions at room temperature (below 40 °C) away from heat sources and direct sunlight! Contact with nitrogen oxides must be avoided during storage!

Processing Guideline Injection Molding
Cylinder Temperature 180 - 190 - 200 °C, max. 220 °C (360 - 370 - 390 °F, max. 425 °F)
Hotrunner Hot runner temperatures: 180 - 220 °C (356 - 428 °F). The runner should be empty after a maximum of 2 - 3 shots.
Injection Pressure 200 - 1000 bar (2900 - 14504 psi) (depending on the size and weight of the part).
Injection Rate In general, the fill time should not be more than 1–2 seconds.
Hold Pressure We recommend to derive the optimum hold pressure from determining the solidification point, starting with 40 % - 60 % of the required injection pressure.
Back Pressure 20 - 100 bar; if color batches are used, higher back pressure is necessary.
Screw Retraction If an open nozzle is used processing with screw retraction is advisable.
Mold Temperature The mold temperature depends on the hard component. A temperature exceeding 80 °C (175 °F) should be avoided. The common temperature is 40 - 60 °C (105 - 140° F).
Predrying The material is hygroscopic, residual moisture content might lead to processing problems and a reduction in the quality of the finished part. The use of a desiccant dehumidifying dryer is recommended. Drying conditions: 80 °C for 4-6 hrs; maximum dew point of the inlet air: -25 °C. The maximum residual moisture of the material should not exceed 0,02 %.
Needle Valve The use of a needle valve nozzle is advisable .
Screw Geometry Standard 3-zone polyolefine screw.
Residence Time The residence time is to be set as short as possible with a maximum of 10 minutes.
Cleaning Recommendation For cleaning and purging of the machine it is appropriate to use polypropylene or polyethylene. Machine must be PVC-free.
The shelf life of the TPE granules is 24 months from delivery if storage instructions are observed and the product is stored in the unopened original KRAIBURG TPE packaging. Store in dry conditions at room temperature (below 40 °C) away from heat sources and direct sunlight! Contact with nitrogen oxides must be avoided during storage!
