OPTIPET™ 214P
OPTIPETTM 214P is a chain extending oligomer for polyamides. It functions by reacting with end-groups of scrap polyamide, such as nylon 6 & nylon 66, and enhance their properties by effectively increasing molecular weight of the reprocessed material.

- Packaging Information
OPTIPET™ 214P powder is supplied in pre-dried form in 20 Kg (44 lbs) PE lined, HD woven sack-laminated paper bags.. They should be stored in cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Processing Conditions
OPTIPET™ 214P is a fine powder.; It should be preferably fed into the extruder through a separate feeder.; The chain extension reaction occurs at temperature around 230°C to 260°C, which is normal for most nylon processing.; Residence time of 1-2 minutes in the extruder is desirable.; Dosage depends on quality of the starting material, and the target properties after modification.; Maximum processing temperature should not exceed 320°C.

- Storage and Handling Procedures
OPTIPET™ 214P 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.
