Pre-drying
Drying is not normally required. If material has come in contact with moisture through improper storage or handling or through regrind use, drying
may be necessary to prevent splay and odor problems.

Injection molding
Standard reciprocating screw injection molding machines with a high compression screw (minimum 3:1 and preferably 4:1) and low back pressure
(0.35 Mpa/50 PSI) are favored. Using a low compression screw (I.E. general purpose 2:1 compression ratio) can result in unmelted particles and
poor melt homogeneity. Using a high back pressure to make up for a low compression ratio may lead to excessive shear heating and deterioration of
the material.

CELCON® M90 - POM
Melt Temperature: Preferred range 182-199 C (360-390 F). Melt temperature should never exceed 230 C (450 F).

Mold Surface Temperature: Preferred range 82-93 C (180-200 F) especially with wall thickness less than 1.5 mm (0.060 in.). May require mold
temperature as high as 120 C (250 F) to reproduce mold surface or to assure minimal molded in stress. Wall thickness greater than 3mm (1/8 in.)
may use a cooler (65 C/150 F) mold surface temperature and wall thickness over 6mm (1/4 in.) may use a cold mold surface down to 25 C (80 F). In
general, mold surface temperatures lower than 82 C (180 F) may hinder weld line formation and produce a hazy surface or a surface with flow lines,
pits and other included defects that can hinder part performance.

Injection Molding Preprocessing

Drying is generally not required because Celcon® and Hostaform® acetal copolymers are not hydroscopic nor are they degraded by moisture
during processing. Excessive moisture can lead to splay (silver streaking) in molded parts. For better uniformity in molding especially when using
regrind or material that has been stored in containers open to the atmosphere, recommended drying conditions are 80 C (180 F) for 3hours.
Desiccant hopper dryers are not required. Maximum water content = 0.35%

Injection Molding Postprocessing

Postprocessing conditioning and moisturizing are not required. It may be necessary to fixture large or complicated parts with varying wall thickness
to prevent warpage while cooling to ambient temperature.

Film extrusion
Standard extruders with a length to diameter ratio of at least 20:1 are recommended. The screw should be a high compression ratio of at least 3:1
and preferably 4:1 to assure good melting and melt homogeneity. The design should be approximately 35% each for feed and metering sections
with the remaining 30% as the transition zone.

Melt temperature: 160-220 C (320-430 F)

Film Extrusion Preprocessing

Drying is generally not required because Celcon materials are not hydroscopic nor are they degraded by moisture during processing. Excessive
moisture can cause surface defects on the extruded film. For better uniformity especially when using regrind or material that has been stored in
containers open to the atmosphere, recommended drying conditions are 3 Hrs. at 80 C (180 F). Desiccant hopper dryers are not required. Max.
moisture content = 0.35%.

Film Extrustion Postprocessing

Postprocessing conditioning or moisturizing is not required.

Other extrusion
Standard extruders with a length to diameter ratio of at least 20:1 are recommended. The screw should be a high compression ratio of at least 3:1
and preferably 4:1 to assure good melting and uniform melt homogeneity. The design should be approximately 35% each for the feed and metering
sections with the remaining 30% as transition zone.

Melt temperature 180-220 C (355-430F)

Other Extrusion Preprocessing

Drying is generally not required because Celcon materials are not hydroscopic nor are they degraded by moisture during processing. Excessive
moisture can cause surface defects. For better uniformity especially when using regrind or material that has been stored in containers open to the
atmosphere, recommended drying is 3 hours at 80 C (180 F). Desiccant hopper dryers are not required. Max. moisture content = 0.35%

Other Extrusion Postprocessing

Postprocessing conditioning or moisturizing are not required. For thick walled sections (>3mm or 1/8 in.), annealing is recommended to reduce
internal stresses.

Annealing temperature: 130-140 C (265-285 F)

Annealing time: 10 min/mm thickness

Profile extrusion
Standard extruders with a length to diameter ratio of at least 20:1 are recommended. The screw should be a high compression ratio of at least 3:1
and preferably 4:1 to assure good melting and melt homogeneity. The design should be approximately 35% each for feed and metering sections
with the remaining 30% as the transition zone.

Melt temperature: 180-220 C (360-430 F).
