Product description Injection moulding grade, glass fibre-reinforced, easy flowing, technical moulded parts with high rigidity and dimensional stability for use in construction of vehicles, electrical engineering, machine construction, building trade and in the field of leisure time articles such as door handles, control elements, housing for drilling machines and relays, fans, pressure control valves, chair crosses and seat shells.
Physical form and storage
The product is supplied dry and ready to use in moisture-proof packaging. The material is in the form of cylindrical or flat pellets. Its bulk density is about 0,7 g/cm³. Standard packs are the special 25 kg bag and the 1000 kg bulk container (octagonal IBC=intermediate bulk container made from corrugated board with a liner bag). Subject to agreement other forms of packaging and shipment in tankers by road or rail are also possible. All containers are tightly sealed and should be opened only immediately prior to processing. To ensure that the perfectly dry material delivered cannot absorb moisture from the air the containers must be stored in dry rooms and always carefully sealed again after some of the material has been withdrawn. Ultramid® can be stored for a longer period of time in dry, well vented rooms without any change to properties. After longer storage times (> 3 months for IBC or > 2 years for bags) or if material from previously opened containers is used, drying is recommended to remove absorbed moisture. Containers stored in cold rooms should be allowed to equalise to normal temperature so that no condensation forms on the pellets.
Product safety In case processing is done under conditions as recommended (cf. processing data sheet) melts are thermally stable and do not generate hazards by molecular degradation or the evolution of gases and vapors. Like all thermoplastic polymers the product decomposes on exposure to excessive thermal load, e.g. when it is overheated or as a result of cleaning by burning off. Further information is available from the safety data sheet.
