Mold Temperature: 120-200 °F (49-93°C), highly filled grades require 180-200 °F (82-93°C) to obtain the best overall surface appearance, higher temperatures will increase crystallinity.

As a renewable and inexhaustible new raw material, corn plastic has an extraordinary significance in the history of plastics development. Increasing the development and application of PLA is conducive to the health and sustainable development of the injection molding industry. The exploration of the injection molding process for PLA is also an important task.

Generally, multi-stage plasticizing temperature control is adopted, the feeding section is 180 ° C, the compression section is 190 ° C, the melting section is 200 ° C, the metering section is 200 ° C, and the nozzle is 190 ° C. The multi-stage control is beneficial to completely plasticizing without causing burns to the melt;

Drying Temperature: 150-180 °F (65-182°C)(for 2-4 hours, Nylene® PA6/6 should be dried to less then 0.20% moisture for optimum performance. Drying longer than 4 hours or at higher temperatures may cause oxidation of the polymer or remove essential volatiles.

PLA is dehydrated and polymerized from lactic acid. The stability of water is poor, and moisture causes lactic acid bond breakage. Therefore, it is necessary to sufficiently dry the raw material and control the humidity to 0.025% or less. Generally, it is vacuum dried for 2-3 hours under air humidity of 80 ° C, and needs to be sealed after drying;

Nylene offers extrusion grades with a wide viscosity range, suited for diverse applications like food packaging film, tubing, and profiles.

Nylene UL recognized materials offer superior performance in solar technology, automotive, domestic, and power cable insulation.

The viscosity of PLA is low, so the injection pressure does not need to be particularly high, and it is usually competent within 54Pa;

Nylene's high-performance nylon 6 fibers excel in various applications such as indoor/outdoor carpeting and synthetic turf.

Depending on the product, the screw speed is selected between 20-100 rpm, and normal injection does not require excessive speed;

With over 40 years in the automotive market, Nylene provides lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly solutions for vehicle engineering.

The thickness of the product design is controlled within 4mm. The core, cavity or front and back stencils and sliders of the mold must be cooled by liquid to control the mold temperature;

Nylene offers products that are long-lasting and durable and resist damage from chemicals, weathering, and other physical forces.

If you has any tableware product by PLA injection molding, pls contact odin mould company,we  already established a mature injection molding process for plant plastics, which will be further developed and improved in the future application and development.

We accept small batch custom molding services (Both thermoset and thermoform plastic). We CNC prototype, mold design, injection, silkscreen, engraver, assembly and packing as a whole.

Nylene USA and Nylene Canada ULC are subsidiaries of the Polymeric Resources Corporation (PRC). Nylene companies develop and manufacture specialty nylons and engineering thermoplastics.

Regrind Level: typically no more than 25% is recommended, with higher levels possible for unfilled grades depending on the end use requirements. Make certain regrind is properly dried to virgin moisture levels.

Melt Temperature: Nylene® PA6/6 melts at 490 °F (254°C), actual melt temperatures of 540-600 (282-316°C) are permissible, depending on residence time and shot size.

Engineered resins for diverse molding processes, including injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, and rotational molding.

Since the crystallinity of PLA is very low and the melt strength is very small, it is required to be cooled using a mold temperature of 20-30 ° C. The mold must be equipped with a liquid cooling system to ensure that the mold temperature does not rise with the influence of the injection temperature;
