ABS

Storage

During transportation and storage, the temperature should not exceed 65°C. This product should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse, and precautions should be taken against moisture.

Drying Procedure

It is recommended to test the moisture content of the resin before processing. If the moisture content exceeds 0.3%, pre-drying is required. Typical drying conditions: 3-4 hours at 60°C.

Before processing, it is recommended to keep the material dry for easier processing. Keep the material sealed before use and ensure the container is tightly closed after use.

Production Equipment

ABS+ modified raw material can generally be processed on standard equipment. The proper processing tempera- ture is key to achieving good product quality.

Cleaning Procedure

ABS+ modified raw material is not compatible with certain petroleum-based materials. If traditional petroleum-   based resins were previously used on the machine, cleaning is required before processing. To ensure cleanliness, follow the recommended machine cleaning procedures.

1. Preheat the extruder to the processing temperature used for the previously produced resin;

2. Use low-viscosity, low-melting-point LDPE clean the machine, and lower machine temperature to 150-180°C during cleaning process;

3. Clean the feeding system to prevent contamination;

4. Add ABS raw material to the extruder, use the raw material to completely remove the residual material, and then reduce the barrel temperature to the recommended temperature in the processing parameters below;

5. Once the equipment reaches the required temperature, production can begin.

Processing Parameters

ABS+ modified raw material is temperature-sensitive. At startup, keep the extruder temperature as low as possible. If the temperature is too low, the temperature can be adjusted by increasing it by 5 ℃ each time.
