Technical Details & Test Data

Technical Details

Specifications

This table contains Selenis Maven MS 105 characteristics and their methods of analysis. Some properties are subject to limits; others are presented with their typical values. Small variations of the typical values do not affect the application performance of the polymer.

All properties are measured under laboratory conditions by the analytical method shown. Limits in these specifications are applicable only to data obtained by the referenced test methods. Different methods or conditions of analysis may give rise to different values. A Certificate of Analysis, with representative average values of certain properties, can be sent to the customer when requested.

Processing

In order to obtain maximum product performance, Selenis Maven MS 105 should be dried to achieve a moisture level below 0.004 % (40 ppm) before processing. Typical
drying requirements include a dehumidifying air hopper dryer with regenerative desiccant beds, -40°C dew point air, 150oC drying temperature, and a residence time between 4-6 hours, with no temperature ramp.

Typical processing temperatures are between 265 – 275oC and should be chosen in function of the needs of the transformation technology.
