Packaging Information

OPTIPET™ 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

OPTIPET™ 213M may be dry blended with hot PET pellets/granules.; The temperature of the feed zone should be maintained below 150°C while processing to prevent agglomeration.; This chain extension reaction occurs at high temperature range (240°C to 280°C) which is a normal PET process condition.; A process residence time of 1-2 minutes is recommended depending upon the pre-drying, starting I.V., end groups ratios and target melt viscosity.; Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 320°C.

Storage and Handling Procedures

OPTIPET™ 213M should be stored away from heat, sparks and flame.; It is non-hygroscopic and need not to be dried prior to use as it comes in pre dried form.; However, to have the best properties, it should be stored in a cool, dry and well ventilated place.
