Processing information for the injection moulding of GrilamidLV-5H
This technical data sheet for Grilamid LV-5H pro-
vides you with useful information on material prepa-
ration, machine re, tooling and process-
ing.
MATERIAL PREPARATION
Grilamid LV-5H is delivered dry and ready for proc-
essing in sealed, air tight packaging. Predrying is
not necessary.
Storage
Sealed, undamaged bags can be kept over a long
period of time in storage facilities which are dry,
protected from the influence of weather and where
the bags can be protected from damage.
Handling and safety
Detailed information can be obtained from the
“Material Safety Data Sheet” (MSDS) which can be
re with every material order.
Drying
Grilamid LV-5H is dried and packed with a moisture
content of less than 0.10 %. Should the packaging
become damaged or the material is left open too
long, then the material must be dried. A too high
moisture content can be shown by a foaming melt
and silver streaks on the moulded part when in-
jected freely into the atmosphere (free shot).
Drying can be done as follows:
Temperature: max. 80°C
Time: 4 - 12 hours
Dew point of the dryer: -25°C
Temperature: max. 100°C
Drying time
If there is only little evidence of foaming of the melt
or just slight silver streaks on the part, then the
above mentioned minimal drying time will be suffi-
cient. Material, which is stored open over days,
which shows strong foaming, unusually easy flow-
ing, streaks and rough surface on the moulding
part, then the maximal drying time is required.
Silver streaks can also be caused by
overheating of the material or by too long
melt residence time in the barrel.
Drying temperature
Polyamides are subjected to the affects of oxidation
at temperatures above 80°C in the presence of
oxygen. Visible yellowing of the material is an indi-
cation of oxidation. Hence temperatures above
80°C for desiccant dryers and temperatures above
100°C for vacuum ovens should be avoided. In
order to detect oxidation it is advised to keep a
small amount of granulate (light colour only !) as a
comparison sample.
At longer residence times (over 1 hour) hopper
heating or a hopper dryer (80°C) is useful.
Use of regrind
Grilamid LV-5H is a thermoplastic material. Hence,
incomplete mouldings as well as sprues and run-
ners can be reprocessed. The following points
should be observed:
• Moisture absorption
• Grinding: Dust particles and particle size distri-
bution
• Contamination through foreign material, dust,
oil, etc.
• addition to original material
• Colour variation
• Reduction of mechanical properties
When adding regrind, special care has to be taken
by the moulder.
MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
Grilamid LV-5H can be processed economically and
problem-free on all machines suitable for polyam-
ides.
Screw
Wear protected, universal screws with shut-off
nozzles are recommended (3 zones).
Length: 18 D - 22 D
Compression ratio: 2 - 2.5
Shot volume
The metering stroke must be longer than the length
of the back flow valve (without decompression
distance).
Shot volume = 0.5 - 0.8 x
(max. shot volume)

Heating
At least three separately controllable heating
zones, able of reaching cylinder temperatures up to
300°C. A separate nozzle heating is necessary.
The cylinder flange temperature must be controlla-
ble (cooling).
Nozzle
Open nozzles are simple, allow an easy melt flow
and are long lasting. There is however the danger
that during retraction of the screws following injec-
tion of the melt, air maybe drawn into the barrel
(decompression). For this reason, needle shut-off
nozzles are often used.
Clamping force
As a rule of thumb the clamping force can be esti-
mated using the following formula:
TOOLING
The design of the mould tool should follow the
general rules for glass fiber reinforced thermoplas-
tics.
For the mould cavities common mould tool steel
(e.g. hardened steel) which has been hard-
ened to level of 56 HRC is necessary. We recom-
mend additional wear protection in areas of high
flow rates in the tool (e.g. pin point gates, hot run-
ner nozzles).
Demoulding / Draft angle
Parts moulded from Grilamid LV-5H showing ex-
cellent dimensional stability. Asymmetric demould-
ing and undercuts are to be avoided. It is favourable
to foresee high numbers of large ejector pins or a
stripper plate. Demoulding draft angles between 1
to 5° are acceptable. Following values can be con-
sidered:
(VDI 3400) 12 15 18 21 24 27
Depth of roughness (µm) 0.4 0.6 0.8 1.1 1.6 2.2
Demoulding angle (%) 1 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.5
(VDI 3400) 30 33 36 39 42 45
Depth of roughness (µm) 3.2 4.5 6.3 9 13 18
Demoulding angle (%) 1.8 2 2.5 3 4 5
Gate and runner
To achieve an optimal mould-fill and to avoid sink
marks, a central gate at the thickest section of the
moulding is recommended. Pin point gate (direct) or
tunnel gates are more economical and more com-
mon with technical moulding.
To avoid premature solidification of the melt and
difficult mould filing, the following points should be
considered:
0.8 x thickest wall section of the injection
moulding part
1.4 x thickest wall section of the injection
moulding part (but minimum 4 mm)
VENTING
In order to prevent burning marks and improve
weldline strength, proper venting of the mould cav-
ity should be provided (venting channels on the
parting surface dimensions: Depth 0.02 mm, width
2 - 5 mm).
PROCESSING
Mould filling, post pressure and dosing
The best surface finish and a high weld line
strength is achieved with a high injection speed and
when a sufficiently long post pressure is employed.
The injection speed should be regulated so as to
reduce towards the end of the filling cycle in order
to avoid burning. For dosing at low screw revolu-
tions and pressure the cooling time should be fully
utilised.
