Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)
The following injection molding parameters are recommended for Hostaform C 9021 LS:
| Parameter | Recommended Setting |
|---|---|
| Pre-drying | Generally not necessary due to low moisture absorption |
| Drying (if required) | 120 – 140°C, 3 – 4 hours |
| Max. Water Content | ≤0.15% |
| Melt Temperature | 190 – 230°C |
| Mold Temperature | 80 – 120°C |

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform C 9021 LS:
Thermal Degradation: POM can decompose at high temperatures, releasing formaldehyde gas. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid prolonged residence time in the barrel.
Material Purity: Strictly avoid contamination with other polymers, as this will compromise the low-emission properties and overall performance.
Regrind/Recycled Material: Adding regrind is not recommended for this low-emission specialty grade. Re-processing may introduce additional volatile compounds and compromise the LS (low emission) properties. If necessary, use a very small percentage (<10%) only with prior validation testing.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and use sealed, original packaging when possible to maintain low-emission characteristics.
