- Excessive drying of the granules may lead to an increase of melt viscosity during processing
- Dry air dryer; drying time is dependent on the inital moisture content of the granules, drying temperature and the dew point of the dried air.
- In case of improper storage (e.g. open packages) drying time may have to be extended.

Regulatory & Compliance

- Quality Standards
Safety & Health
- Product Safety
In case processing is done under conditions as recommended (cf. processing data sheet) melts are thermally stable and
do not generate hazards by molecular degradation or the evolution of gases and vapors.Like all thermoplastic polymers the product decomposes on exposure to excessive thermal load, e.g. when it is overheated or as a result of cleaning by
burning off.- Safety Instructions
Provide suitable exhaust ventilation at the drying process and in the area surrounding the melt outlet of processing
machines.
Closed containers should only be opened in well-ventilated areas.
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.
When incorrectly processing an unpleasant odour can be produced, especially when the recommended processing
parameters are exceeded.
Check
- Moisture content of pellets
- Melt temperature
- Residence time
When there is a strong odour, immediately check processing parameters, ventilate the area well and recheck moisture
content of material. If necessary stop processing and redry the material.
Any short stoppages in production, it is recommended that you inject material into the mould not purge an air shot.
Any molten material drooling from the machine nozzle or hot runner nozzles can self-ignite when in open atmosphere.
It is therefore advisable to dispose of purgings etc into water containers.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Conditions
Standard packs are bag and bulk container (octagonal IBC=intermediate bulk container made from corrugated board with a liner bag).
Other packagingnmaterials and shipping in road or rail silo wagons are possible by agreement.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
The containers should only be opened immediately before processing or drying.
To ensure that the delivered product absorbs as little moisture as possible, the containers should be stored in dry rooms and always carefully closed again after partial quantities have been withdrawn.
In principle, the product can be stored for a long period of time.
Containers stored in cold rooms should be equalized to ambient temperature before opening in order to avoid condensation on the granules.
Regardless of the storage conditions, the product should be pre-dried according to our recommendations and the machine should preferably be loaded using a closed conveyor system
