DURAFIDE(R) PPS


<Important>

· Consult the appropriate bulletins for the grade to be used, technical data or Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper use of DURAFIDE® PPS.

 

<Hazards>

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

· If DURAFIDE is caught on fire, use water, foam fire extinguishing system, chemical powder fire extinguishing system or carbon dioxide fire extinguishing system.

 

<Notes for molding>

· Predry pellets at 140°C for approximately 3 hours.

· To prevent decomposition of the material, observe the material temperature and the in-cylinder retention time listed below.
1) Optimum material temperatures: 300 - 320°C (Don't heat above 360°C.)
2) Limit in-cylinder retention time:

Cylinder Temperature Maximum Residence Time
300°C 60min.
320°C 30min.

(The above conditions give a standard, and may vary under different conditions.)

 

· If the material is decomposed or suspected to be decomposed, reduce the cylinder temperature, and purge (discharge) the material from the cylinder. During purging, wear safety goggles and keep your hands and face away from the nozzle section.

· Do not mix any colorants, additives or resins of other brands with DURAFIDE, except those we recommend.

· Keep the workplace ventilated locally or entirely during operation.
