Value Units Test Method / Conditions Melt Temperature max. 260 °C - Processing Instructions
- Phoslite B85AX can be processed up to 260°C polymer melt temperature. In case of long permanent time at melt temperature or overheating product could decompose evolving hazardous and flammable gases, so it is recommended to avoid these critical conditions.
- Fine dust clouds may form flammable or explosive mixtures with air. Avoid the creation of dust when handling or during process and avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame or powder spreading on the hot parts of process machines).
