Maxxam™ FR Polypropylene Solutions provide cost savings and improve data processing capabilities

To do so the following procedure was carried out: • Preforms were produced by dosing 0.09% of Avient Fortis Amber-1 and 4% of our nylon- based oxygen scavenger Amosorb SolO2-2 • Preforms were ground down to a coarse granule size (~2mm) using a Retsch mill • The coarse ground preforms were crystallized in a vacuum oven at 160°C before drying the material in a PET drier at 160°C for approx. 4 hours • This material was then injection molded and blown into bottles with a) 50:50 dilution with Virgin PET with no color and b) 50:50 dilution with Virgin PET + Fortis Amber-1 at 0.045% Figure 2.

Tool Steel • P20 tool steel is acceptable when proper processing and shut down procedures are followed • Chrome plating or PH stainless steel is preferred for all halogen-based systems • The use of stainless steel in hot runner systems is highly suggested • Avoid the use of aluminum when designing production tools Vents • Place vents at the end of fill and anywhere potential knit/weld lines will occur • All vents need to be vented to atmosphere • Cut vent depths to 0.0010"–0.0015" with a minimum 0.040" land length.
