Frequently asked questions
GF grades require higher injection pressures. Strongly anisotropic shrinkage (perpendicular to fibres > along axis). Increased nozzle and mould wear — nitrided steels recommended. Drying identical to base grade.
PPA is difficult to recycle due to its aromatic structure and high processing temperatures. Take-back schemes are available from some manufacturers. Not intended for consumer recycling.
PPA is not suitable for food applications. Its high processing temperature and special additives make it suitable for high-performance technical applications.
