Pharmaceutical Application

The above-mentioned grade meets the requirements of the European pharmacopeia version 6 sections 3.1.5 for pharmaceutical application.

Conveying

Conveying equipment should be designed to prevent accumulation of fines and dust particles can, under certain conditions, pose an explosion hazard. We recommend that the conveying system used:

1.Be equipped with adequate filters.

2.Is operated and maintained in such a manner to ensure no leaks develop.

3.That adequate grounding exists at all times.

We further recommend that good housekeeping will practiced throughout the facility.

Storage

All resins should be protected from direct sunlight and/or heat during storage. The storage location should also be dry, dust free and the ambient temperature should not 

exceed 50°C. It is also advisable to process polyethylene resins (in pelletized

or powder from) within 6 months after delivery, this because also excessive aging of polyethylene can lead to a deterioration in quality. ASPC would not give warranty to bad storage conditions which may lead to quality deterioration such as color change, bad smell and inadequate product performance. It is also advisable to process polyethylene resins (in pelletized or powder form) within 6 months after delivery, this because also excessive aging of polyethylene can lead to a deterioration in quality.

Handling

Minimal protection to prevent possible mechanical or thermal injury to the eyes. Fabrication areas should be ventilated to carry away fumes or vapors.

Combustibility

Polyethylene resins will burn when supplied adequate heat and oxygen. They should be handled and stored away from contact with direct flames and/or other ignition sources .in burning; polyethylene resins contribute high heat and may generate a dense black smoke. Fires can be extinguished by conventional means with water and mist preferred. In enclosed areas, fire fighters should be provided with self-contained breathing apparatus.
