LOTEK 7310 (Ethylene Acrylic Acid Zinc  IONOMER)

Key features

IOTEK 7310 is a low melt-index sodium  ionomer, which offers :

- high durability and resilience.
- high impact strength
- good surface finish
- good low temperature mechanical properties

It is typically used in injection molding applications and also as impact modifier of poly-amide.

Processing conditions:
IOTEK 7310 can be processed on equipment normally used for LDPE.
Melt temperature : 200 - 230 °C

Warning:

To minimize corrosion risk, all exposed metal surfaces in the extruder and die should be made from corrosion resistant metals or nickel/chrome plated. 

Iotek 7310 should be fed into the extruder after LDPE of a similar or higher melt index. Machines should always be completely purged with LDPE or a suitable cleaning compound before shutdown.

Cation containing polymers pick up moisture from the atmosphere if exposed for prolonged periods. It is therefore recommended to re-seal  tightly the package after each production run molding.
