-Injected cap (conditions)
-Dry the resin 4 hours at 80C
- Temperature of injection is 185C,
window between 180C and 190C
Over 190C the paper burns giving
a caramel smell. Below 180C, risk
of under filled mold
- Mold Temperature = 60C
-Pressure should be higher (by
40%) that conventional PP.

Description
The objective is to use PP/BLF blend of the Cup used for the Maggi Hot
Cup Noodles in Malaysia. Annual quantity : 24.2 m cups for Malaysia,
and additional ( has to be confirmed ) ? m forks for Australia.
