- Applications
- Chemical coupling agent for halogen free flame retardant fillers in wire and cable compounds.
- Coupling agent for PE based aluminum composite panels (ACP’s) core with high filler content.
- Impact modifier for Nylonscrap –in fiber, film or molding form.
- Compatibilizer for preparing PE blends with polyamides or polyesters.
- Processing Conditions
- A slight pungent odor is normal during processing of OPTIM® E-151.
- During processing, the compounding parameters that can lead to optimized performance include extruder type, screw design, barrel temperature, screw speed, throughput, residence time and material feeding sequence.
- Maximum processing temperature should not generally exceed 230°C.
- At temperatures above 230°C, these speciality polymers can evolve low concentrations of fumes.
- If overheated, more extensive decomposition may occur due to exposure of overheated polymers to atmospheric oxygen.
- Adequate local ventilation should be provided to remove the fumes from the work area.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging Information
- OPTIM® specialty polymers are supplied in pre-dried form in 25 Kg (55 lbs) PE lined, HD woven sack-laminated paper bags and 750 Kg (1650 lbs) FIBC’s.
- They should be stored in cool and dry place and protected from exposure to direct sunlight.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Handling Procedures
- OPTIM® E-151 is mildly hygroscopic and should be stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area.
- It is recommended that prior to processing, the requisite quantity of material to be used should be dried in a hopper dryer or oven at 50-55°C for about 2 hours for obtaining best results.
