- Packaging Information
OPTIM® specialty 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
OPTIM® GE-340 can be added to polycarbonates & polyesters to achieve best properties by dispersion of additives within the polymer matrix.; It is recommended to purge the equipment thoroughly after a run is completed as OPTIM® GE-340 tends to crosslink when kept for long periods at high temperatures.; Maximum processing temperature should not exceed 290°C.
