Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform M15HP:
Versatile Processing: Hostaform M15HP is suitable for injection molding, film extrusion, profile extrusion, blow molding, and calendering. Adjust processing parameters accordingly for each method.
High Viscosity Consideration: With MVR of 1.5 cm³/10min, this grade requires adequate injection pressure and mold temperature to ensure complete filling of complex parts.
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‑performance characteristics.
Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this high‑viscosity specialty grade. Reprocessing reduces molecular weight and compromises the core performance 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.
