- Packaging Information
OPTIM® speciality polymers are supplied in pre-dried form in 25 Kg (55 lbs) PE lined, HD woven sack-laminated paper bags and 750 Kg (1650 lbs) FIBC's.. They should be stored in cool and dry place.
- Processing Conditions
A slight pungent odor is normal during processing of OPTIM® E-119.; During processing, the compounding parameters that can lead to optimized performance include extruder type, screw design, barrel temperature, screw speed, throughput, residence time and material feeding sequence.; Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 280°C.; At temperatures above 280°C, these speciality polymers can evolve low concentrations of fumes.; If overheated, more extensive decomposition may occur due to exposure of overheated polymers to atmospheric oxygen.; Adequate local ventilation should be provided to remove the fumes from the work area.

- Storage and Handling Procedures
OPTIM® E-119 is mildly hygroscopic and should be stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area.. It is recommended that prior to processing, the requisite quantity of material to be used should be dried in a hopper dryer or oven at 80-95°C for about 2 hours for obtaining best results.
