Cooling Time

Cooling time is the amount of time it takes for the molten plastic to solidify. Mechanical components, such as engines, bearings, gears, and brakes, often operate under conditions that generate significant heat. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to thermal fatigue, material degradation, and reduced lifespan. Proper cooling time allows these components to dissipate heat, reducing the risk of overheating and prolonging their operational life.
