Product description
Glass fibre reinforced injection moulding grade with improved flame retardance and enhanced long-term stability. Flame
retardant based on red phosphorus; outstanding mechanical and electrical properties.
Physical form and storage

Ultramid is supplied dry and ready to use in moisture-proof packaging in the form of cylindrical or flat pellets. Its bulk
density is about 0,7g/cm. Standard packs are the special 25kg bag and the 1000kg bulk container (octagonal IBC=
intermediate bulk container made from corrugated board with a liner bag). Subject to agreement other forms of packaging
and shipment in tankers by road or rail are also possible. All containers are tightly sealed and should be opened only
immediately prior to processing. To ensure that the perfectly dry material delivered cannot absorb moisture from the air
the containers must be stored in dry rooms and always carefully sealed again after portions of material have been
withdrawn. Ultramid can be kept indefinitely in the undamaged bags. Experience has shown that product supplied in
IBCs can be stored for about 3 months without any adverse effects on processing properties due to moisture absorption.
Containers stored in cold rooms should be allowed to equilibrate to normal temperature so that no condensation forms on
the pellets.
Product safety
Ultramid melts are thermally stable at the usual temperature for A, B and C up to 310C and 350C for T and do not give
rise to hazards due to molecular degradation or the evolutionon of gases and vapors. Like all thermoplastic polymers
Ultramid decomposes on exposure to excessive thermal load, e.g. when it is overheated or as a result of cleaning by
burning off. In such cases gaseous decomposition products are formed. Decomposition accelerates above 310C (T
>350C) approximately, the initial products formed being mainly carbon monoxide and ammonia, and caprolactam too in
the case of Ultramid B. At temperatures above about 350C (T>400C) small quantities of pungent smelling vapors of
aldehydes, amines and other nitrogenous decomposition products are also formed.
Further safety information see safety data sheet of the individual product.
