    Machines with a clamping pressure of no less than 150 tons and
    injectors with three-stage screws of a diameter between 40 and
    60 mm, and an L/D ratio between 20:1 and 30:1 are
    recommended for injection moulding.
    The use of screws with a diameter exceeding 65 mm and/or with
    a high compression ratio is not recommended.
    In order to avoid thermal degradation of the product (local
    overheating of the material), it is essential to eliminate all the
    possible points where stagnation may occur and check that the
    nozzle is heated in a uniform manner for its whole length.

    TPU is a hygroscopic polymer and the moisture absorbed
    affects its processability and the physical-mechanical properties
    of the moulded articles.
    The granules must, be dried before use by using fan ovens,
    vacuum driers or dehumidifying air driers.
    The percentage of moisture in the granule must be less than
    0.05%.
    Like TPU, any masterbatches should also be dried separately
    before being mixed. For the drying parameters (time and
    temperature) please see our technical datasheets. The
    exposure of the TPU to the air for even just a few hours means
    moisture absorption and forces pre-drying once again.

    Epaflex TPUs must be stored in a dry place at a room
    temperature preferably around 20° C and in any case not at a
    too high or too low temperature preferably in a ventilated, cool
    room.

    Epaflex TPUs come in various packaging such as: 25 kg
    aluminized or vacuum bags and 600 kg. or 1000 kg. octabins.

    Epaflex TPUs can be coloured with masterbatches.
    Specific TPU-based masterbatches are recommended.
    Like TPU, masterbatches should also be dried separately from
    the TPU before being mixed with it.

    Processing waste and scraps can be re-used after having been
    re-granulated. In this case, it is worth checking the absence of
    impurities and ensuring that the product has not undergone heat
    degradation.
    The re-granulated product (like virgin TPU) should always be
    dried before being re-used.
    We suggest using re-granulated TPU blended with fresh
    granules at a percentage of no more than 25%.
