Considerations
Due to variations in screw design and heat efficiency according to types of facilities, optimal conditions for each facility may differ. Therefore,
the optimal temperature conditions for each facility must be taken into consideration depending on extruding pressure, cooling efficiency,
changes in MI of the final product, appearances of the final product, etc.
Energy Savings
Topilene® R801N provides improved aesthetics at significantly lower process temperatures
that leads to lowered energy consumptions, shortened cycle time and improved productivity.
It enables an average of 10% energy savings for production of clarified PP parts.
Health, Safety and Food Contact Regulations
Topilene® R801N complies with FDA requirements in the code of Federal Regulations in 21 CFR 177. 1520 for food contact and European Commission Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 and its amendment (EU) No 2016 / 1416 with regard to plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food.
