Description
Celanex 3316 is a non-exuding flame retarded (UL and CSA approved V-0 at 1/32 inch and 5V at 1/16 inch), 30% fiberglass
reinforced polybutylene terephthalate which has an excellent balance of mechanical properties and processability. It is well
suited for electrical connector applications where its UL approved 50% regrind use capability allows maximum use of
purchased product.

Pre-drying conditions:
To avoid hydrolytic degradation during processing, CELANEX resins have to be dried to a moisture level equal to or less than
0.02%. Drying should be done in a dehumidifying hopper dryer capable of dewpoints <-40F (-40C) at 250F (121C) for 4
hours.
For subsequent storage of the material in the dryer until processed (<= 60 h) it is necessary to lower the temperature to 100
C.
Drying time: 4 h
Special information:
Heating the hopper may be advantageous.
Injection Molding
Injection speed, injection pressure and holding pressure have to be optimized to the individual article geometry. To avoid
material degradation during processing low back pressure and minimum screw speed have to be used. Overheating of the
material has to be avoided, in particular for flame retardant grades. Up to 50% clean and dry regrind may be used for the 16
series flame retardant grades.
