Moisture Range
(%)
Not required
Follow up by purging machine with general
purpose PP
• Residence time should not exceed 5 minutes for Maxxam FR products
• General ventilation is suggested
Shut Down
• Purge the equipment with a general purpose PP
• All tooling and equipment must be free of any residual Maxxam FR upon
shut down
• Continue generating parts made from the natural PP until clear
• Wipe down tool steel with mold cleaner
• When using a hot runner system, care must be taken to remove residual
product from the manifold
MOLD DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
Cold Slug Wells
• Place cold slug wells at the base of the sprue to capture the cold material first
emerging from the nozzle
• Place cold slug wells at every 90° bend in the runner system
• Well depths approximately 2–3 times the diameter of the runner provide best
results
Draft Angle
• Draft angle should be 1/2°–1° per side.

The gross margin
improvement was driven primarily by favorable price and mix, including a full year of APM results in 2023, and raw
material deflation.
The useful lives range up to 25 years.
Our asset mix considers the
duration of plan liabilities, historical and expected returns of the investments, and the funded status of the plan.
