Processing Guidelines (Extrusion Blow Molding & Injection Molding)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform M10AE:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform M10AE:

• Blow‑Molding Considerations: Thanks to its ultra‑high viscosity (MVR 0.9), Hostaform M10AE offers excellent melt strength for parison stability during extrusion blow molding. Fine‑tune extrusion parameters (die geometry, melt temperature, blow pressure) for optimal component results.

• Thermal Degradation Risk: POM‑based material can decompose under excessive heat and release formaldehyde vapors. Guarantee sufficient ventilation; avoid overly long barrel residence times.

• Material Purity Requirement: Strictly prevent cross‑contamination with other polymer grades. Contamination will degrade the high‑melt‑strength performance.

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this high‑viscosity specialty grade. Reprocessing reduces molecular weight and compromises the core melt‑strength advantages. If regrind usage is mandatory, keep percentage below 10% and complete pre‑validation testing first.

• Storage Guidance: Store pellets in cool, dry conditions; keep sealed in original factory packaging whenever possible.
