<Important>

· Refer to the appropriate bulletins for the grade to be used, related technical materials, or the Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS) regarding the proper use of RENATUS® PET.

<Hazards>

· If RENATUS pellets lie scattered on a passage or floor, you may slip and stumble. Clean the passage or floor immediately.

· If RENATUS catches fire, use water, a foam fire extinguishing agent, a chemical powder fire extinguishing agent, or a carbon dioxide fire extinguishing agent to put out the fire.

<Notes For Molding>

· Be sure to predry the pellets. Use the following conditions as guidelines for drying. Confirm that the pellet temperature, not the set temperature of the dryer, is as follows. Use of a hopper dryer is recommended to prevent moisture absorption during molding.

· To prevent decomposition of resin, use the following resin temperature and residence time inside the cylinder. Confirm that the temperature of the molten resin, not the set temperature of the molding machine cylinder, is as follows.
1) Optimal resin temperature

  270°C-290°C (slow-burning grade), 265°C-280°C (flame retardant grade)

  [Do not allow temperatures of 300°C or higher.]
2) Maximum residence time inside the cylinder

(The above are general guidelines, and may differ according to the specific conditions.)

· If there is a danger of resin decomposition, lower the cylinder temperature and purge (discharge) the resin from the cylinder. During purging, wear safety goggles, and be sure to keep your hands and face away from the tip of the nozzle.

· When shutting down the molding operation, purge the resin from the cylinder and turn the cylinder heater power off.

· Do not mix any coloring, additives, or other brands of resin other than those we recommend.

· When replacing RENATUS PET with a different resin, be sure to replace it with polyethylene (PE), then the next resin.

· Keep the work area or the entire room ventilated while working.

<Others>

· The information contained herein is the information that is currently available regarding use of these materials. However, please be aware that we have not confirmed the accuracy or safety of the information in all aspects.

· If pellets leak onto the floor or into plumbing, etc., waterway and ocean environments could be harmed. Be sure to collect the pellets.
