Regulatory & Compliance
- Regulatory Status
EXTINITY® 0201-312 does not carry any FDA/U.S.P. approval for food contact and may not be used for any application for implantation in the human body or where bodily fluids could potentially come in contact with the final product.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Typical Performance
Use of EXTINITY® 0201-312, in conjunction with halogenated fire retardant additives or concentrates, can produce a wide range of performance to meet various flammability performance standards, such as Underwriters Labs, National Fire Protection Agency, ASTM and others.
Specific performance will vary based on application, resin selection, processing conditions and use rate of the concentrate.
- Processing Condition
EXTINITY® 0201-312 is stable to approximately 275°C/560°F but has much lower recommended processing temperatures. Processing will naturally depend on extrusion process, screw design, die and application.
A typical temperature profile would be:Zone #1 Zone #2 Zone #3 Die Celsius 185°-195°C 165°-170°C 165°-170°C 155°-160°C Fahrenheit 365°-383°F 329°-338°F 329°-338°F 311°-320°F Urethanes will absorb moisture; it is recommended that the TPU be dried in a heated desiccant system. Processes vary, please call for drying requirements for your specific application(s).
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling
SACO AEI Polymers recommends that EXTINITY® 0201-312 be stored in an ambient temperature range (40 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit). Although this product is not hygroscopic, it is recommended that EXTINITY® 0201-312 be kept away from excessive moisture and extremely high humidity environments.
