Injection Molding

Applications

• In-situ toughening agent for PA6 during injection molding. Toughness required is a function of ADNYL® E-170 addition level in the PA6 matrix.
• Impact modifier with higher stiffness in recycled PA6.
• Compatibilizer for glass filled and plain polyolefin/nylon alloys.

Processing Conditions

• ADNYL® E-170 can be added to Polyamides during in-situ injection molding to achieve desired level of toughness.
• Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 280°C.
• At temperatures above 290°C, these speciality polymers can evolve low concentrations of fumes.
• If overheated, more extensive decomposition may occur due to exposure of overheated polymers to atmospheric oxygen.
• Adequate local ventilation should be provided to remove the fumes from the work area.

Packaging Information

• OPTIM® speciality polymers are supplied in pre-dried form in 25 Kg (55 lbs) PE lined, HD woven sack-laminated paper bags and 750 Kg (1650 lbs) FIBC’s.
• They should be stored in cool and dry place.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Procedures

• ADNYL® E-170 should be stored away from heat, sparks and flame. It is mildly hygroscopic, though much less than Nylon.
• It is not required to be dried prior to processing if taken out from a sealed pack.
• In case of material lying exposed to humid environments, it is recommended to be dried at 90-95 °C for 2-4 hours depending upon the level of exposure.
• It can also be dried together with the PA6 granules after pre-mixing.
