Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform S 9364UV:
Processing Methods: Suitable for injection molding and profile extrusion. Adjust processing parameters accordingly for each method.
Drying: Drying is not normally required. If material has come into contact with moisture through improper storage or handling or through regrind use, drying to prevent splay and odor problems is recommended. Recommended drying: 100°C for 3-4 hours.
Temperature Limits: Do not exceed max. melt temperature of 200°C to avoid burning and discoloring the product.
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 impact-modified and UV stabilized properties.
UV Stabilization Property: The UV stabilization additives are fully dispersed in the base resin; standard processing conditions will not degrade UV performance.
Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this specialty grade. Reprocessing may compromise the impact properties, UV stabilization, and overall performance. 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 UV stabilization effectiveness.
