Injection Molding

Applications

• Impact modifier for recycled PA6 and nylon 66 including low temperature impact strength.
• Compatibilizer for glass filled and plain polyolefin/nylon alloys.
• In-situ toughening of PA6 and PA 66 injection molded components.
• Toughness acquired is a function of ADNYL® E-179 addition level in the PA6 and PA66 matrix.
• Improves processbility of nylon by modifying melt viscosity.
• Decreases water absorption and improves dimensional stability of nylon components.

Processing Conditions

• ADNYL® E-179 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

• ADNYL® 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-179 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.
