Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding & Extrusion)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform MT2U01:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform MT2U01:

• Extrusion Considerations: With low melt flow/high molecular weight (MVR 2.5 cm³/10min), Hostaform MT2U01 is designed for extrusion processing including profile extrusion and sheet extrusion. Adjust extrusion parameters (die design, melt temperature, draw ratio) accordingly for optimal results.

• Injection Molding: Suitable for injection molding of medical components requiring high toughness and biocompatibility.

• Medical Grade Purity: Strictly prevent cross‑contamination with other polymer grades or non-medical materials. Contamination will compromise the medical compliance and biocompatibility of the material.

• Drying: Drying is recommended for this medical grade material to achieve optimal performance and part quality. If material has come into contact with moisture through improper storage or handling, drying is necessary to prevent splay and odor.

• Thermal Degradation Risk: POM‑based material can decompose under excessive heat and release formaldehyde vapors. Guarantee sufficient ventilation; avoid overly long barrel residence times.

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this medical grade specialty material. Reprocessing may compromise the biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and medical compliance. 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 to maintain low residual monomer content.
