Oven Temperature – Actual air in oven	300^oC	280^oC to 315^oC	570^oF	540^oF to 600^oF
PIAT	225^oC	220^oC to 235^oC	440^oF	435^oF to 445^oF
Mould External Surface Temperature	245^oC	240^oC to 260^oC	475^oF	465^oF to 500^oF
Rotation	Similar to LMDPE.
Oven Time	About 10% more than LMDPE – 1 minute per 0.25 mm (.01 inch) of wall thickness.
Cooling	Delay airflow onto mould for about 5 minutes after removing from oven. Then fan-air cool.
Demould	Crystallizes at about 125^oC (255^oF). Can be removed at anywhere below 115^oC (240^oF). Care should be taken when handling hot materials and products (refer to RMPP141 MSDS). Optimisation of the moulded part will take up to 72 hours after demoulding, due to continued crystalisation.
Shrinkage	About 1.5% (1.5% to 2.5%) or 1% less than LMDPE.
Supervents	Are known to improve processing and product appearance. http://laplastecnica.co.nz/products/
