Follow up by purging machine with general purpose PP • Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products • General ventilation is suggested Shut Down • Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP • All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon shut down • Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear • Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner • When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual product from the manifold MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Cold Slug Wells • Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first emerging from the nozzle • Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system • Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best results Draft Angle • Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side.

La solution colorante noire CESA® IR PP 94000725 de Avient Corporation utilisée pour colorer des emballages rigides en PP est une alternative aux solutions colorantes non détectables.
En effet, les emballages rigides en PP intégrant 4% de solution colorante noire CESA® IR PP 94000725 sont détectés et orientés vers le flux PP avec les mêmes performances (qualité, taux de captage) que les autres emballages rigides ménagers en PP.

Additives and Colorants for PP-R and PP-RCT Pipe Systems Polypropylene-random grades (PP-R and PP- RCT) are increasingly used for hot and cold water supply pipe systems in civil and public buildings.
ANTIOXIDANTS FOR METAL/PP-R AND PP-RCT SYSTEMS Plastic systems in contact with metal inserts can also be subject to oxidization.
Avient offers antioxidants that act as metal deactivator for PP-R and PP-RCT components fitted with metal inserts.
