- Machine Processing Information
General :
- All extruders suitable for polyamides can run the Agimid® 240 N120.
Screw Types:
- Screws with three zones (feeding, compression and metering zones) are recommended
- Length: 18 D - 22 D
- Material Processing Information
Drying:
- Agimid® 240 B120 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 VACUUM DRYER Temperature: max. 80°C Temperature: max. 80°C Time: 4 – 8 hours Time: 2 - 4 hours

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- Agimid® 240 N120 has to be stored in dry, indoor and safe facilities.
- It is highly recommended to run granules having reached the workshop temperature to prevent from moisture condensing on cold granules.
