Technical Details & Test Data
- Processing
EXCELENE 1000 compounds are engineered to be processed on conventional extrusion equipment. Use of a L/D 15:1 to 24:1 extruder with a low sheer mixing screw for proper homogenization and fluxing of EXCELENE 1000 compound is recommended to obtain optimal output and properties. The compound supplied is in the cleanest state and is of the highest quality; however, the use of a breaker plate with a screen pack of approximately 20/40 or 20/60 mesh is recommended for optimal rheological flow and steady back pressure.
Pre-drying of the compound is not necessary, provided that the compound has been stored unopened in a cool, dry area.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
- 1,500 pounds (681 Kg) per box.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
- EXCELENE 1000 containers should be stored at temperatures below 50C (120F) in a dry area to avoid massing of pellets. Product is recommended to be used within 12 months.
- Handling
- To ensure health and safety, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available and should be consulted prior to use.
