Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding & Extrusion)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform MT2U06:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform MT2U06:

• Extrusion Considerations: With very low melt flow / high molecular weight (MVR 2.1 cm³/10min), Hostaform MT2U06 is designed for extrusion processing including profile extrusion and sheet extrusion. Adjust extrusion parameters (die design, melt temperature, draw ratio) accordingly for optimal results.

• Thick-Wall Molding: The high melt strength enables thick‑wall, void‑free injection molded parts. Adjust packing and holding parameters to minimize shrinkage and void formation.

• Drying: Drying is generally not required. If material has come into contact with moisture through improper storage or handling, drying at 100°C for 3-4 hours is recommended.

• Medical Grade Purity: Strictly prevent cross‑contamination with other polymer grades or non-medical materials. Contamination will compromise the medical compliance and biocompatibility of the material.

• Thermal Degradation Risk: POM‑based material can decompose under excessive heat and release formaldehyde vapors. Guarantee sufficient ventilation; avoid overly long barrel residence times. Max. melt temperature 200°C.

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this medical grade specialty material. Reprocessing may compromise the biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and medical compliance. 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 to maintain low residual monomer content.
