Processing Guidelines (Calendering, Extrusion & Injection Molding)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform M25IE:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform M25IE:

• Calendering Considerations: Hostaform M25IE is a special grade targeted for calendering, providing sheets with a high gloss and smooth surface. Standard extruders with grooved feed zone and short compression screws (minimum 25 D) are recommended.

• Sheet Extrusion: For sheet extrusion, follow standard extrusion parameters. General drying is not necessary due to low moisture absorption.

• Profile Extrusion: For profile extrusion, melt temperature of 180-190°C is recommended. For very thick wall thickness profiles, after-annealing at 130-140°C for 10 min/mm thickness is recommended to reduce internal stress.

• Drying: General drying is not necessary due to low moisture absorption. In case of bad storage conditions (water contact or condensed water), use a recirculating air dryer at 100-120°C for 3-6 hours.

• 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‑viscosity, high-gloss, and calendering performance.

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this high‑viscosity specialty grade. Reprocessing reduces molecular weight and compromises the core melt‑strength, high-gloss surface, and calendering 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.
