• Blue caps (PP): Melting point: 165 (sharply defined). Processing temperature: approximately 250. Ignition temperature: 330. Decomposition temperature: 350. Recommendation: use up to 140C is possible. • Red caps (Valox): Melting point: from approximately 220 to 250 (gradual transition, softening). Processing temperature: approximately 280 to 300. Ignition temperature: 360. Recommendation: use up to 180C is possible.
