Machine General All extrusion and injection machines suitable for PEBA can run the Agiflex® 300 B055 Screw Types Screws with three zones (feeding, compression and metering zones) are recommended.
Length: 18 D - 22 D
Compression ratio: 2.2 – 2.8Material Drying Agiflex® 300 B055 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.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Agiflex® 300 B055 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.
