Description
ECP 270 is a magnetic compound based on special blends of magnetic additive compounded into ABS in such a way as to optimise physical and magnetic properties during processing.
APPLICATIONS
ECP 270 is recommended for packaging, handling, transportation, protective cover applications where magnetic detection requirements exist.
PROPERTIES
Specific Gravity 1.07 g cm-3
Flexural modulus 1927 MPa
Flexural strength 56.2 Mpa
Izod Impact Strength (notched) 24.31 kJm-2
Tensile Strength 33.5 Mpa
Elongation @ break 23.4 %
RECOMMENDED PROCESSING CONDITIONS
MACHINE
It is recommended that an in-line reciprocating screw machine be used to injection mould ECP 270, but it is possible to process this material on plunger injection moulding machines.
EXTRUSION
Normal extrusion equipment should be used.
CYLINDER TEMPERATURE
190 – 250 °C depending on the size and complexity of the moulding.
MOISTURE
It is recommended that ECP 270 be dried prior to extrusion. Excess moisture may show as an inferior surface finish. Typically 2/4 hours at 80°C is adequate. Store in a warm dry place to avoid moisture.
USE OF REGRIND
Runners, sprues and scrap mouldings can be reground and blended with virgin material. Regrind additions should not exceed 10% by weight of the virgin material; otherwise some reduction in properties may be experienced.
DO NOT USE A MAGNETIC SEPARATOR IN THE MOULDING MACHINE AND HOPPER, THE GRAINS WILL SEPARATE AND STICK TO THE MAGNET!!
