Pressurized Oil Mold Temperature Control<\/p>\n

Pressurized oil heaters are utilized to maintain mold temperatures at 140\u00b0C\u2013180\u00b0C (284\u00b0F to 356\u00b0F). Maintaining high mold temperatures is critical to minimize molded-in stress, optimize surface gloss, and completely prevent weld-line stress cracking near intricate snap-fits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Desiccant Pre-Drying Protocol<\/p>\n

PPSU is highly hygroscopic. Moisture causes cosmetic splay, bubbles, and loss of transparent optical quality. We dry raw material in desiccant hopper dryers at 150\u00b0C (302\u00b0F) for 4 hours to keep moisture levels below 0.02% before molding, protecting dynamic mechanical tensile bonds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
