- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Applications
- Upgradation of virgin and scrap nylon plastics.
- Upcycling of nylon scrap with up to 20% co-mingled polyolefin such as PE or PP.
- Dosage
- The recommended dosage of OPTIPET™ 214M depends on the starting material quality, and the target properties.
- For plain or glass filled nylon reprocessing, it generally varies between 2-5% by total weight.
- Processing Conditions
- OPTIPET™ 214M may be dry blended with dried nylon pellets/granules.
- The temperature of the feed zone should be maintained below 150°C while processing to prevent agglomeration.
- The chain extension reaction occurs at high temperature (240°C to 280°C), which falls within normal nylon processing conditions.
- A vented twin screw extruder is recommended for this process.
- Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 320°C.
