Polystyrene Processing Guide

The document provides processing guidelines for different types of polystyrene based on melt index and properties. It includes recommended temperatures for material drying, melting, nozzle, mold and other stages. It also lists parameters like injection pressure, speed, holding pressure, back pressure, screw speed and cushion that depend on wall thickness and cycle time. Recommended cooling cycles vary from 13 to 69 seconds based on thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 5.06mm.
