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: OPTIM® E-131 can be added to Polyamides to achieve good dispersion of fillers within the polymer matrix thereby obtaining best properties.; Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 290°C.; At temperatures above 290°C, these specialty 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.
Compatible Polymers and Resins: Polyamide 6 (PA 6)
Polyamide 66 (PA 66)
Polyamides
Polyolefins
Plastics and Elastomers End Uses: Cables
Plastics and Elastomers Functions: Adhesion Promoter
Impact Modifier
Storage and Handling Procedures: OPTIM® E-131 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 45-50°C for about 2 hours for obtaining best results.
