- Typical values shown tested on Dry as Molded samples.
- Standard Packaging and Labeling: Kalix® HFFR resin is packaged in foil lined, multiwall paper bags containing 25 kg (55 pounds) of material. Individual packages will be plainly marked with the pr

Injection Notes: Storage:
- Kalix® compounds are shipped in moisture-resistant packages at moisture levels according to specifications. Sealed, undamaged bags should be preferably stored in a dry room at a maximum temperature of 50°C (122°F) and should be protected from possible damage. If only a portion of a package is used, the remaining material should be transferred into a sealable container. Manufacturer recommends that Kalix® resins be dried prior to molding

Drying:
- Kalix® compounds are supplied in sealed bags. It should be dried before molding because excessive moisture content will result in reduced mechanical properties and processing issues, such as excessive nozzle drooling, foaming and splay visible on the molded parts.
- Drying temperatures of up to 100°C may be used for dark colored resin (such as black) to achieve shorter drying times, if necessary. For lighter colored resin, 80°C drying temperature is recommended to minimize the risk of oxidative discoloring.
- Use of a desiccant dryer with -40°C dew point is strongly suggested to ensure Kalix® material has reached optimum moisture content before processing.

Injection Molding:
- Set injection pressure to give rapid injection. Adjust holding pressure to one-half injection pressure. Set hold time to maximize part weight. Transfer from injection to hold pressure at the screw position just before the part is completely filled.

Tooling:
- This material is not typically recommended for use in hot runner systems due to the possibility of tooling corrosion and wear. If hot runner systems must be used please engage a tooling vendor having adequate experience with flame-retardant, glass-filled polyamides. Ensure that appropriate corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant tool steels and coatings are utilized to increase tooling life cycles.
- Excessive pellet moisture, melt temperature, residence times will accelerate the possibility of corrosion. It is critical that recommended processing parameters are followed to minimize corrosion potential.
