Processing

• Polyamide resins are hygroscopic, meaning they absorb water from direct immersion and humid air.
• The amount of water absorbed depends on exposure time, air temperature, and relative humidity.
• At the temperatures used to mould PA, moisture levels can cause visual flaws and brittleness of the moulded part.
• It is recommended that resin moisture content be limited to 0.12% when processing Ravamid® PA6 and PA66.
   

Mould Design

• Hot runners are not recommended for industrial quality Ravamid® grades.
• The gate diameter is recommended to have 80% wall thickness.
