NOVA Chemicals Arcel 310 LV 65% PS/35% PE Interpolymer (discontinued **)
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyethylene (PE); Polystyrene (PS); Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
Material Notes:	Applications: Resilient/reusable packaging, Sports items, Dunnage Expansion: Minimum Density Potential (pcf): Single pass continuous - 2.1; Double Pass continuous - 1.5; Batch expansion - 1.6 Prepuff Flow Characteristics: Freshly expanded low density Arcel is sensitive to thermal and mechanical shock. Care must be taken to prevent particle densification. Expected Federates (pph): Singe pass continuous - 400-600; Double pass continuous- 400-600; Batch expansion - 400-600 Bead Size: Spherized pellet 2X A Size Molding: Part/tooling design and fill gun placement that accommodate the large particles should be priorities. Cycles: Typically 1 1/2 times an EPS cycle at equivalent density. Steaming cycle is longer than EPS but similar pressure. Arcel is shipped refrigerated and should remain below 40°F until processed.
