Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform M15HP XAP:

• Versatile Processing: Hostaform M15HP XAP 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 1.3 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.

• Low Emission Property: To maintain XAP low emission characteristics, avoid contamination and ensure proper processing conditions.

• Material Purity Requirement: Strictly prevent cross‑contamination with other polymer grades. Contamination will degrade the high‑performance and low emission 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 and low emission 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.
