FAQ
Avoid high temperatures & long residence times
If the material is processed above the recommended temperatures the woodcompound will degrade
resulting in a pressure buildup in the cylinder and gas formation. In case this occurs stay clear of
formed gas and empty the cylinder of the injection moulding machine.
Avoid large piles of purged material
Purged reject can start to smolder, avoid piles of rejected material.
Keep the reject in an area clear of flammable materials and let cool for example with water before
disposal.
Injection Moulding
Woodcompounds is sensitive to prolonged exposure to temperatures above 180°C.
Avoid unnecessary heating and residence time.
Do not set any zones above 205°C.

Yes, a number of our material formulations are safe for use in food contact. If the grade is available as food contact approved, it will be shown in the text above.
Many of our customers use the same mould as before they switched to woodcompounds. If this is applicable in your case depends on the material you are to replace, demands on surface finish, MFI and the moulding machine. For best result we also recommend that you use a mould with high chrome content.
