Processing guidelines for PPCP Repol B220MN

Recommended injection-moulding parameters

• Melt temperature: 190–240°C (lower for standard parts, higher for thin-wall or complex shapes)
• Mould temperature: 20–50°C (colder for speed, warmer for finish/stability)
• Injection speed & pressure: Use high speed to exploit flow; ensure packing to avoid sink in ribs/bosses
• Regrind usage: Clean, limited regrind is generally safe if contamination is controlled

Design tips for thin-wall and multi-cavity tools

• Use uniform wall thickness and rounded corners to reduce stress
• Gates and runners should be sized for high-flow PP IC to avoid short shots
• Thin-wall designs benefit from B220MN’s flowability and cycle-time reduction

Common PP injection-moulding defects and troubleshooting

• Warpage: May be caused by uneven cooling or mould temperature; adjust cooling and packing
• Flow lines: Increase injection speed or temperature; check gate location
• Short shots: Raise temperature or speed; ensure venting is adequate

Performance advantages vs other PP grades

B220MN vs PP homopolymer: Much higher impact strength, especially at low temperatures, but slightly less stiff and heat-resistant. B220MN vs random copolymer PP: Much tougher but opaque; perfect where clarity isn’t needed but durability is. B220MN vs engineering plastics (ABS, PC/ABS): Lower cost and density, good for non-high-heat parts, but less heat-resistant than engineering plastics. Why choose B220MN?

• Faster cycles, thinner walls, and higher productivity than many other PP grades
• Balanced performance for a wide range of consumer, appliance, and automotive parts
