Critical Processing Warnings:
-
Drying: ULTEM ATX200F is hygroscopic and must be dried to <0.02% moisture before processing. Dry at 130-140°C for 3-6 hours depending on region.
-
High Flow: This grade offers high flow characteristics (MVR 16 cm³/10min) for easier processing and better mold filling of complex, thin-walled parts.
-
Melt Temperature: Recommended melt temperature range is 340-380°C. Avoid excessive residence times to prevent thermal degradation.
-
Gate Design: Use large gates and runners to minimize flow resistance and reduce molded-in stress.
-
Regrind: Regrind can be used up to 20-25% with virgin material, provided it is clean and properly dried.
-
Food Contact Compliance: This material is US FDA food contact compliant in most jurisdictions. Exceptions may exist – request a declaration for details.
