Application Information

Drying Condition:

  • Pre-dry is necessary.
  • Please dry until moisture content can be less than 500 ppm (less than 0.05%) prior to using. It can be carried out as follows:
Dryer Temperature Hours
Hot-air Dryer 95°C

More than 7 hours

Vacuum Dryer 90°C

More than 7 hours

  • The maximum recommended temperature must not be exceeded as this may cause aggregation or other defects.

Start-up:

  • Purge machine completely with DURABIO or other acceptable purging material.
  • DURABIO is not compatible with conventional polycarbonate, purge machine completely if conventional polycarbonate resin was in the previously in the machine.
