The "X" denotes a developmental product. KRATON D2122X is a film grade material. Normal procedures for handling dust producing solids should be followed when handling and storing KRATON Polymer pellets. Compounding KRATON Polymers in high shear equipment can cause a significant rise in temperature. Do not exceed 225-230°C (437-446°F) for KRATON D polymers and compounds and 280-285°C (536-545°F) for KRATON G Polymers and compounds. Maintain a fire watch if these temperatures are reached. KRATON Polymer products (the neat resin or the base product) are high molecular weight polymers which by all accounts are non-toxic and biologically inactive. KRATON Polymers and compounds can accumulate electrostatic charges when rubbed, chafed or abraded and processing equipment should have a way of dissipating these charges. Applications: Injection molded or extruded items, sporting goods, film. Information provided by the manufacturer, Kraton® Polymers. |
