PROCESSING

Controlled Processing for Consistent Blend Performance
Jobablend® compounds are developed for stable and repeatable industrial processing. Because the portfolio contains different polymer combinations, grade-specific drying, material handling, melt temperature, residence time, and tooling recommendations must be followed to protect blend morphology and final-part performance.

Injection Molding
Jobablend® injection molding grades are available for precision components, thin-wall parts, high-surface-quality components, electrical housings, and reinforced structural parts. Processing conditions are selected according to the polymer system, modification type, component geometry, tool design, and application requirements.

Drying and Material Handling
Many Jobablend® systems contain moisture-sensitive PC, polyamide, or polyester components. Grade-specific drying conditions and moisture limits, clean storage, sealed transfer, and contamination control are important for maintaining melt quality, surface appearance, mechanical performance, and process stability.

Tooling and Temperature Control
Appropriate machine capability, wear-resistant tooling where required, controlled melt and mold temperatures, balanced cooling, and controlled residence time support complete filling, surface quality, dimensional control, and repeatable production.

Grade-specific drying conditions, melt temperatures, mold temperatures, residence-time limits, and other processing recommendations are provided in the relevant technical documentation.
