ALCOM® MED PS 1000 AS 14115

1 of 10 products in this brand
MOCOM Compounds ALCOM® MED PS 1000 AS 14115 has a minimum shelf life of 24 months. It is based on a polystyrene impact polymer and contains an antistatic and permanent filler/additive system. It is designed for medical and personal care applications such as housings and is processed by injection molding with a melt temperature of 180-260°C and a mold temperature of 10-70°C. To ensure optimal performance, pre-drying conditions should be conducted in an air circulating dryer at 60-80°C for 2-3 h or in a dry air (dessiccant) dryer at 60-80°C for 2-3 h, depending on moisture content.
