Processing Guidelines:

BE961MO is easily processed on standard injection molding machines. Typical guidelines include:

• Melt temperature: 210 – 260 °C
• Holding pressure: 200 – 500 bar (minimum to avoid sink marks)
• Mould temperature: 10 – 30 °C
• Injection speed: As high as possible

Packaging & Storage:

BE961MO should be stored in dry conditions at temperatures below 50°C and protected from UV light to prevent degradation, which can lead to odor generation, color changes, and negative effects on physical properties.

Compliance & Sustainability:

Borouge is committed to sustainability, promoting Design for Circularity (DfC) and Design for Recycling (DfR). BE961MO complies with various international regulations and standards, including those for food contact applications (relevant statements are available upon request). It is suitable for recycling using modern methods.
