Other Processing
Injection Molding
A three-zone screw evenly divided into feed, compression, and metering zones is preferred. A higher percentage of feed flights may be needed for smaller machines: 1/2 feed, 1/4 compression, 1/4 metering.

Vectra LCPs are shear thinning, their melt viscosity decreases quickly as shear rate increases. For parts that are difficult to fill, the molder can increase the injection velocity to improve melt flow.

Processing
Pre Drying
Necessary low maximum residual moisture content: 0.01%

VECTRA should in principle be predried. Because of the necessary low maximum residual moisture content the use of dry air dryers is recommended. The dew point should be =< - 40℃. The time between drying and processing should be as short as possible.

For subsequent storage of the material in the dryer until processed the temperature does not need to be lowered for grades A, B, C, D and V (<= 24 h).

Drying time (h):4 - 6
Drying temperature (℃):170 - 170
