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.
ABS is recyclable (code 7). It can be remelted and re-injected several times with slight degradation of its properties. Industrial recycling channels exist for production waste. End-of-life recycling remains limited by selective collection.
Standard ABS is not certified for food contact. Special ABS-FDA grades exist but remain marginal. Prefer PP, PE, or PETG for common food applications.
