Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods

Coextrusion,

Extrusion

Applications

• Maleic anhydride groups chemically react with amine groups of PA or hydroxyl groups of EVOH, while polyethylene part adheres naturally with polyethylene on the other side, thus giving a composite structure.
• Designed to use as a tie layer resin in conventional extrusion and co-extrusion equipments for making multilayer tubes. 
• Can be used in its pure form as well as in diluted form, depending on the inter-layer adhesion required in the end-application.
• Recommended dilution is 25 – 50% by using similar MFI HDPE.

Processing Conditions

• BindEX E-190 can be processed on most of the standard extrusion equipments designed to process conventional polyolefins.
• Maximum processing temperature should not exceed 280°C.
• At temperatures above 280°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

• BindEX 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

• BindEX E-190 is mildly hygroscopic and should be stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area.
• It is supplied in pre-dried moisture proof bags and thus no need to dry prior to processing.
• In case of open bags, it is recommended that prior to processing, the requisite quantity of material to be used should be dried in a hopper dryer or oven at 80-90°C for about 2 hours for obtaining best results.
