Abstract
The first part of the paper presents the specific issues from the injection molding associated with the water content of the hygroscopic plastics (water adsorption, equilibrium moisture level, chemical affinity, hydrolysis) and recommendations regarding the drying of plastics for injection, the drying methods and defects specific to products injected due to the moisture content. The experimental results on the injection of a polyamide (AKULON) and of a thermoplastic polyurethane (DESMOPAN) presented in the second part of the paper are focused on the surface appearance fault splay associated with the different values of moisture content for these two materials, verify the value for the admitted moisture content for two hygroscopic materials, polyamide and thermoplastic polyurethane, and ends with conclusions on the residual humidity allowed and opinions on choosing the drying technology and parameters.
