Technical Details & Test Data
- Extrusion Guidelines
- Melt Viscosity vs. Temperature
Melt Temperature: 194°C (381°F)
Two key factors affect the melt viscosity (stiffness or fluidity of the melt) :- The molecular weight (MW) of the resin: Higher MW resins will have a higher melt viscosity than lower MW resins.
- Temperature of the melt for any given MW resin: Higher process temperatures will provide a more fluid melt viscosity than lower process temperatures.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
Storage & Handling
- Storage Information
Store in original container. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
- Material Handling
Aegis® H95C1ZP copolymer is supplied in sealed containers and drying prior to processing is not required. However, higher moisture is the primary cause of processing issues. If drying becomes necessary, a dehumidifying or desiccant dryer operating at 80°C (176°F) is recommended. Drying time is dependent on moisture level. More information about safe handling procedures can be obtained by requesting the Safety Data Sheet.
