Key Processing Points:

• Control tool temperature to the correct temperature to give the desired crystalinity.

• Heat COMFIL® min. 25 degree C over the melting temperature of the matrix material in an oven or by contact heating.

• Transport the molten COMFIL®  fast from the heating to the mould to prevent the matrix from cooling prior to mould closing (5 - 10 seconds).

• Close mould fast to ensure that parts are formed prior to matrix solidification.

• Remove part from mould after part has cooled to below 50-100°C.

• Thermoplastic light cores can be added in the stamping (compression) process to form three-dimensional sandwich structures.

• Surface films or textiles can be added to the part in the stamping tool to enhance surface aspect.
