I am asking about Barrel Temperature and also Hot runner temperature.
For PP i have studied it should be 190-210 C. But I am not clear about LDPE

Any reference ? When I operated it on 230 and 20 the part smells after production and this is not allowed in food grade production.

Do you use colorants? Where is resin from? Have you contacted resin maker? Could be free radicals and/or oxidation!
In China we had a smelly resin, and in USA smelly color(liquid)

I have tried LDPE from two different sources but still facing same problem. I have read melting point of LDPE is 110. I am not sure may be when we cross melting point the smell generates. May be I am wrong. Can anyone clear my idea?
