Other characteristics

Brand: ADNYL
Carrier: Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Polyamides, Resin-based; Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE); Polyamides; Resin-based
Features: High Softening Temperature, High Stiffness, Non-Hygroscopic
Functions: Compatibilizer, Impact Modifier
Processing Methods: Injection Molding
Compatible Polymers & Resins: Polyamide 6 (PA 6), Polyolefins
Applications: In-situ toughening agent for PA6 during injection molding. Toughness required is a function of ADNYL® E-170 addition level in the PA6 matrix.; Impact modifier with higher stiffness in recycled PA6.; Compatibilizer for glass filled and plain polyolefin/nylon alloys.
Technology: Plastics
Packaging Type: Bags
Super Sacks
Material Features: High Softening Temperature
High Stiffness
Non-Hygroscopic
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: ADNYL® E-170 can be added to Polyamides during in-situ injection molding to achieve desired level of toughness.; Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 280°C.; At temperatures above 290°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.
Compatible Polymers and Resins: Polyamide 6 (PA 6)
Polyolefins
Plastics and Elastomers Functions: Compatibilizer
Impact Modifier
Storage and Handling Procedures: ADNYL® E-170 should be stored away from heat, sparks and flame. It is mildly hygroscopic, though much less than Nylon.; It is not required to be dried prior to processing if taken out from a sealed pack.; In case of material lying exposed to humid environments, it is recommended to be dried at 90-95 °C for 2-4 hours depending upon the level of exposure.; It can also be dried together with the PA6 granules after pre-mixing.
