- Product Application and Processing Information
- Application
- Exolit® OP 1314 was developed especially for use in polyamides. It is suited for both glass-fiber-reinforced and unreinforced grades. The flame retarded polyamide compounds exhibit very good physical and electrical properties.
- Formulation
- In glass-fiber-reinforced polyamide 6 or 6.6, a dosage of 15 to 20 % (by wt.) Exolit OP 1314 is usually sufficient to obtain the UL 94 V-0 classification for electrical components (at 1.6 as well as 0.8 mm thickness).
- Subject to the polymer grade, processing conditions and glass- fibre reinforcement the dosage of the flame retardant may vary.
- Processing
- Before incorporating Exolit® OP 1314, it is important to predry the polyamide as usual. If possible, the resulting moisture content should be below 0.1 % (by wt.). Predrying of Exolit® OP 1314 is not necessary. However, predrying (e.g. 4 h at 120 °C) is recommended, if even very low moisture contents must be avoided.
- The mixing and processing methods customary in powder processing of polymers can be used with Exolit® OP 1314. The VDI Guideline 2263 “Prevention of dust fires and dust explosions” or the relevant national regulations must be observed. The optimum conditions for incorporating should be determined in each individual case. Care must be taken to ensure homogeneous dispersion of all components. The temperature of the polymer melt should not exceed 320 °C.
