Product description
Texin RxS292 resin is an aromatic polyester-based thermoplastic polyurethane. It can be processed by injection molding, extrusion or blow molding.
Applications
Texin RxS292 offers low gel content, good clarity and abrasion resistance and very good chemical resistance to oils, solvents, and other non-aqueous solutions. Texin RxS292 has a wide processing window, which allows for ease of film and sheet producition. As with any product, the use of Texin RxS292 resin in a given application must be tested (including but not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
Storage
Texin thermoplastic polyurethane resins are hygroscopic and will absorb ambient moisture. The resins should remain in their sealed containers and stored in a dry area. Storage temperatures should not exceed 86°F (30°C). Unused resin from opened containers, or reground material that is not to be used immediately should also be stored in sealed containers under cool and dry conditions.Prior to processing, Texin RxS292 resin must be thoroughly dried for a minimum of 2 hours in a desiccant dehumidifying hopper dryer to a moisture content of less than 0.03%. Hopper inlet air temperature should be 180-200°F (82-93°C), the inlet air dew point should be 0°F (-18°C) or lower.
Processing
Typical starting conditions for injection molding, extrusion and blow molding are noted below. It is recommended that initial processing is done at the lower end of the suggested temperature ranges and increased as necessary. Actual processing conditions will depend on machine size, mold design, material residence time, shot size, part geometry, etc.
