Processing Guidelines (Injection Molding)

Recommended processing parameters for Hostaform XGC25 EF XAP2:

Critical Processing Warnings for Hostaform XGC25 EF XAP2:

• Easy Flow Processing: With MVR of 5 cm³/10min, Hostaform XGC25 EF XAP2 is an easy flowing grade designed for efficient filling of complex part geometries. Adjust cycle parameters to maximize throughput while maintaining part quality.

• Drying: Drying is not required for this grade. If material has come into contact with moisture through improper storage or handling, drying at 100-120°C for 3-4 hours is recommended.

• Ultra-Low Emission Property: To maintain XAP2 ultra-low emission characteristics (VDA 275 <5 ppm), avoid contamination and ensure proper processing conditions.

• Fiber Breakage: Avoid excessive screw speed or back pressure, as this can break glass fibers and reduce mechanical properties. Recommended screw tangential speed ≤0.3 m/s.

• Thermal Degradation Risk: POM‑based material can decompose under excessive heat and release formaldehyde vapors. Guarantee sufficient ventilation; avoid overly long barrel residence times. Max. melt temperature 210°C.

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

• Regrind / Recycled Material Notice: We do not recommend adding regrind for this specialty grade. Reprocessing may compromise the glass fiber reinforcement, mechanical properties, and XAP2 ultra-low emission characteristics. 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 ultra-low emission characteristics.
