Technical Details & Test Data

Machine Processing Information

General: 

  • All injection molding machines for polyamides can run the Agimid® 2153 NOO.

Screw Types: 

  • Screws with three zones (feeding, compression and metering zones) are recommended.
  • Length: 18 D - 22 D
Material Processing Information

Drying:

  • Agimid® 2153 NOO 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:
