Unfilled resin data from published sources. Melt Flow Index of wood filled formulations is measured at 190C to prevent fiber degradation. Molding TM characteristics of CelluPlast wood-filled PPs are often much better than the Melt Flow Index suggests.

Processing Guidelines:
Injection Molding
The optimum performance of North Wood Plastics wood-filled compounds can be tailored by polymer choice, wood filler type and amount, and additive selection. Processing conditions, such as injection pressures and speeds may be required to optimize molding conditions. Many molders take advantage of the lower heat content of our wood-filled resins to reduce cycle times by 10 to 30% compared to unfilled materials. Some molders choose to add our heavily-loaded, wood-filled plastic compounds as concentrates or masterbatches, blending them into their standard house resins. Others prefer our custom compounds made with the exact fiber content needed for maximum consistency and convenience. Regardless of form, the following processing guidelines apply:
Processing Temperatures Rear Middle Front Nozzle Residence Time Blowing Agents Screw Type Conventional < 360 F < 370 F < 380 F < 380 F < 15 minutes Avoid excessively long residence times. Purge if necessary. Low temperature blowing agents can be used effectively. Suggested.
