Aegis® PCR-H135MP is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to processing is not required. However, high moisture is the primary cause of processing issues. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 80°C (176°F) is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level.

- Extrusion Guidelines
Melt Viscosity vs. Temperature; Melting point: 220°C (428°F) Melt Temperature Range: 232°C (450°F) to 271°C (520°F) Two key factors affect the melt viscosity (stiffness or fluidity of the melt): 1. The molecular weight (Mw) of the resin: Higher Mw resins will have a higher melt viscosity than lower Mw resins. 2. Temperature of the melt for any given Mw resin: Higher process temperatures will provide a more fluid melt viscosity than lower process temperatures.; Typical Barrel Profile for Cast Films; Barrel: 230-260°C (446-500°F) Adapter: 260-266°C (500-510°F) Die: 260°C (500°F) Process Melt Temperature: 260-270°C (500-518°F); Typical Barrel Profile for Tubular (Blown) Films; Barrel: 246-254°C (474-490°F) Adapter: 260°C (500°F) Die: 254°C (490°F) Process Melt Temperature: 254-260°C (490-500°F); Screw Parameters; Metering Section: 40% Transition Section: 3 to 4 flights Feed Section: Balance of screw length Compression Ratio: 3.5:1 to 4.0:1 L/D Ratio: 24:1; Metering Section Flight Depth
