Processing Texts
Pre-drying It is normally not necessary to dry HOSTAFORM. However, should there be
surface moisture (condensate) on the molding compound as a result of incorrect
storage, drying is required. A circulating air drying cabinet can be used for this
purpose if the granul

Longer pre-drying times/storage The product can then be stored in standard conditions until processed.

Injection molding Standard injection moulding machines with three phase (15 to 25 D)
plasticating screws will fit.

Injection molding Preprocessing To achive low emission values pre drying using a recirculating air dryer (100 to
120 °C / max. 40 mm layer / 3 to 6 hours) is recommended.

Max. Water content 0,1 %

Injection molding Postprocessing Conditioning e.g. moisturizing is not necessary.
