The information presented on this data sheet was acquired by from various sources, including material producers and recognized testing agencies. PSC makes substantial efforts to assure the accuracy of this data. However, PSC assumes no responsibility for the data values and urges that upon final material selection, data points are validated with the manufacturer. See below for our chart on plastic processing and drying temperatures, along with plastic and abs molding temperatures. Please contact Plastic Service Centers if you have any questions about processing and drying temperatures for plastic resins.
