Material
   
Drying

Agimid® 210 N000 is dried and packed with a moisture content of less than 0.10 %. If the packing has been damaged or left open for a long time (>2 hours), then the material has to be dried. Polyamides are sensitive to oxidation at temperatures > 80°C in the oxygen atmosphere. To avoid yellowing of the granules (for natural color grades only), it is recommended to respect the following settings.

Drying Settings
  • Air Dryer
    • Temperature: max. 80°C
    • Time: 4 - 8 hours
  • Vacuum Dryer
    • Temperature: max. 80°C
    • Time: 2 - 4 hours
Lubrication

Agimid® 210 N000 includes internal lubricants. However, the use of Zinc Stearate or Calcium Stearate can be helpful in case of process instability.

Process (Recommended Basic Settings)
Basic Machine Settings Feeding zone 210 - 240°C
Compression zone 220 - 250°C
Metering zone 220 - 250°C
Nozzle 220 - 250°C
